I've actually had the opportunity to see Wazzu play several times this season, and came away impressed everytime, Especially the California game. This should be a dream matchup for both teams, it's the life long debate, Offense Vs. Defense.
UNC is averaging 111 points a game through the first weekend, while Wazzu is allowing an average of 40 PPG throughout the first 2 games. I don't think we'll score 80+ against Wazzu, but I also know it won't be in the 50's. The fact is that UNC has not faced a defense this good all season, and Wazzu has not faced an offense this good all season.
I expect it to be a tight game throughout, I think it comes down to our bigs. If Thompson and Stephenson can step up like they have thus far, we'll be hard to beat. If they give sub-par performances, Carolina could easily be bounced by the Cougars. Either way, I'm looking forward to Thursday night, good luck to you guys.
