Good luck.

UNC is not the best team in the country. they have had a easy schedule. They have yet to prove themselves. and they wont get out of the acc with less than 4 losses

this UNC team is a virtual twin to the championship team. lightening quick PG, a bull of a center. a sweet shooting 2 guard. a defenseive stopper ( jackie manuel and Ginyard). great 6th man, very deep. sound familar?
not saying they will go all the way. far from it. they gotta learn how to play defense for 40 minutes first. but then again so did the 05 team. and they ended up alright.

Memphis palys in the C-USA it's not hard to understand. Memmphis plays hard during thier non-conference schedule. Then through conference play all they had to do is take it easy. Then they rested for the tournament. The ACC is a brutal confernce with Duke and many other teams that have the potential to step out on the court and do something

Who is another team that can do something in the ACC?

VCU :-D

duke? you know the team that is one of 2 teams in the top 5 in both O and D effeniency. the other team? marquette a team duke beat.

anyways, ncstate, clemson, miami, virginia, hell even wake are all teams that would probably finish 2nd in the C-USA.

duke

davidson isnt horrible, davidson has one of the best shooters in the country and have played the hardest schedule in the country

great analysis coming from blue devils bolts - definitely going to be impartial about this throwdown....o wait duke SUCKS this year

Other than UNC and Duke is what I meant.

Douglas-Roberts, to me anyways, seems to be more of a penetrator in the lane than a spot-up shooter from the outside.

Next, I don't think Oklahoma is that quality of a win. Also, Davidson is NOWHERE NEAR horrible. They have a very skilled backcourt with Stephen Curry (25 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast) and Jason Richards (13 pts, 3 reb, 9 ast). Both of which have a good chance at making it at the next level, in my opinion. Their losses? Nothing to be ashamed of. North Carolina, Duke, UCLA, and NC State have been their opponents in most of them. The Wildcats have been playing an extremely tough schedule.

Finally, the ACC, as it looks now, could have as many as EIGHT teams in the NCAA Tournament. That would be North Carolina, Duke, Clemson, Miami, Florida State, Virginia, Boston College, and NC State. The Atlantic Coast isn't some chump conference with only two good teams. The Big East and themselves have to be the two best in the entire country.

Defending Memphis though, they do have fantastic talent and depth, and their non-conference schedule is one of the toughest of any top team. I was very impressed with them when I watched the Georgetown game. I'll wait for GolferBoy to give at least one more argument before I vote, however. Have a good weekend.

Who has UNC blew out?

A blowout, to me, is at least 15 points. Here they are:
Iona
South Carolina State
Old Dominion
Pennsylvania
Rutgers
UC Santa Barbara
Nevada
Valparaiso
Kent State

Here are the teams that Memphis has blown out:
Tennessee-Martin
Richmond
Arkansas State
Austin Peay
Middle Tennessee State
Siena
Pepperdine

In conclusion, neither team has "blown out" a ranked opponent. So I ask you, if UNC has not blown out anyone of talent, has Memphis? The closest they came was 14 to Georgetown, and I watched the game. Roy Hibbert did absolutely NOTHING when he was in.

vote to dwade,I think Memphis is best too,I even made a td about it and lost,I agree with Dwade,but In my td it was the same topic and I made a much better argument and lost.What did I notice though?UNC fans were voting for my opponent.

Memphis has the fastest PG in College Basketball (Derrick Rose)
Memphis has the best slasher in College Basketball (Chris Douglas-Roberts)
Memphis has a top 5 lockdown defender in College Basketball (Antonio Anderson)
Memphis has the best defensive big man in College Basketball (Joey Dorsey)
Memphis has another NBA prospect who averaged 18 ppg in wins vs Georgetown and Arizona (Robert Dozier)
Memphis has the best bench in College Basketball (Willie Kemp and Doneal Mack are tied for best 3 point shooters on the team, Jeff Robinson was a top 40 recruit nationally, Shawn Taggart is easily the best backup big man in College Basketball, any of these players would start on most other teams.)

Memphis is the best team in College Basketball.

Roydell, Ty Lawson could possibly be the fastest PG in college basketball.

actually felton i think there is one team better than memphis, and unc. and it isnt duke. Kansas anybody? they have experience and chemistry. all i said was that unc hasnt played a tough schedule. Duke desnt suck. They, unlike the ramchops, have played a good schedule and are 3-1 against ranked opponents this year, including a 1-1 record against top 10 opponents. The Clemson game tonight will tell us all where they are since its there first test this year. As for dwade asking who can do something out of the acc...There isnt an acc team with a losing record. I dont think there is any other conference in the country that can say that. 9 out of 12 teas have double digit wins and are at least 8 games above 500. The acc also has 3 1 loss teams and an undefeated team.
