#6 North Carolina(21-3, 6-2 ACC) at Florida State (12-5, 4-1 ACC)

Clemson and North Carolina seem to be well above the rest of the league.

TEAM: FSU|UNC
OVR: 89|93
OFF: 88|94
DEF: 90|92
SHT: 89|97
REB: 93|94
COA: 86|90

North Carolina returns four of its five starters from last season, only losing their PG, a freshman who was the #1 recruit in the nation. They've replaced him with a junior PG rated about as well. UNC's 3 losses this year are to #4 Indiana, #2 Clemson, and a 1 point loss to Wake Forest. They had two starters hurt last week though, including stud SG Haigler, helping to explain away the loss to Wake.

Scouting

PG Holland Freedman – JR – 83 OVR – 89 speed/89 quickness. 88 defense/77 steals. 87 hands/83 passing, both solid B- ratings. 87 close/81 med/86 3, a great shooter. 83 off the dribble. Just 5.3 ppg but I fear he'll do a lot betterthan that against me heh.

SG Russ Haigler – SR – 91 OVR – 89 speed/90 quickness. 83 defense/83 steals. 86 close/87 med/91 3. Just 78 off the dribble. Good but not great athlete, good but not great awareness. Hell of a shooter though. 14.5 ppg/2.5 apg. Lottery pick.

SF Phil Atangana – SO – 87 OVR – 6'7” natural SG – 91 speed/84 quickness. 84 defense/90 steals. 90 close/77 med/74 3/87 off the dribble. Great defensive awareness, not as much on offense. 9.5 ppg/5.6 rpg.

PF Marcel Konate – SR – 91 OVR – 6'6” PF – 83 orb/89 drb. 86 post off/90 post def. 79 blocks(B). 75 steals/A-. 95 close/91 med/74 3/88 in traffic. 95 hustle, coach on the floor... A- speed, the guy can do everything. There are 30 separate ratings that players are rated on. Konate is A- or better in 14 of them. 19.7 ppg/6.7 rpg/2.0 blocks. When we played UNC last year they underused Konate, so we'll see. Possible top pick.

C Quinton Diame - SR – 73 OVR – 7'3” which is all that you need to know. Poor rebounding ratings, poor post ratings. 88 close/83 in traffic. Also, 7'3”.

To re-iterate exactly how good Konate looks... I mentioned above that he has an A- or better rating in 14 of the 30 categories that players are rated on... by comparision, Haigler, also a 91 OVR superstar, has an A- or better rating in 7 of the 30 categories. Konate is really one of the best overall players I've ever seen.

Backup SG Eddie Esterkamp is rated 85 OVR and is a great all around shooter, another name to know. Backup SF Rene Reid is rated 83 overall and is another great shooter and potential scorer.

Barrett is starting today, with them running 3 guards and having a player like Haigler, it makes the most sense to get Barrett and his 90 rated defense out there as much as possible. With Konate a coach on the floor, the unity edge is 85-43 for UNC. All I can say is to remember that we beat them last year when we were just freshmen.

Heh. We beat UNC last year because we hit tons of 3's and they didn't shoot well. Today is not the same.

Sneed makes 2 free throws to get us on the board... backups are in.

Once its 24-2, I decide that UNC is probably not going to let us come back.

#6 North Carolina 86
Florida State 44

Haigler had 13 when I simmed it out. He ends up with 19, Konate with 19 points/10 boards. Haha. 50-15 first half.

Forte: 0 points
Moye: 14 points
Barrett:3 points
Sneed:7 points
McCants:0 points

Alloway: 9 points

Yeah... North Carolina is good.
