Survive and advance is the name of the game

So far, I'm 2 for 5 in my predictions. While my prognostication skills have been decent during the season, the ACC tournament has proven that I'm nothing more than an amateur.

That's O.K. If I had predicted the outcome correctly in all 11 games, the tournament wouldn't be much fun.

The Heels beat VT by 3, but anyone watching the game should believe that Carolina was lucky. We were lucky, but it wasn't due to bad point guard play. Actually, Frasor and Drew did a superb job at the point. They aren't Lawson, but who is, right?

While watching the game, I noticed that Danny Green was pressing way too much. He has lost his rhythm, but I think that's correctable. Danny must let the game come to him and not force his shots. Going 2-13 from the field is not acceptable. His defensive play was bad at spurts, brilliant at other times. He's a great athelete, but his game has to be part of the Carolina game.

So how did we win? H-A-N-S-B-R-O-U-G-H. He refused to lose.

Carolina played a decent game today. VT played a great game. VT is a NCAA-caliber team, but they will be going to the NIT this year.
