Reasons it probably won't be different:
1) They shot 35% from the field last game. If you remove Zeller's stats, they're remaining starting 4 shot 24%. That won't happen again.
2) If Zeller grabbed 1 more board, they'd have 3 guys with double figure rebounds, and McAdoo not far behind with 7. While many have cried foul about their over the backs, it's not actually over the back if you're 7 feet with long arms and can legally rebound over a box out.
3) Malcolm is playing on 1 foot, and Joe with 1 good hand.
Reasons it could be different:
1) UNC isn't coming off a stinging, at-the-buzzer home loss to their archrivals. They're pretty well fed off 4 consecutive, comfortable league victories.
2) I can't see us having all our bigs in foul trouble on our home court (knock on wood).
3) Sammy is shooting 27% from behind the arc in league play. That means he's good for at least 1, maybe 2 hot games to get back to his career average. No reason Saturday can't be one.
4) We get 18 from Scott, 12 from Bub, and 30 from Sammy+Joe and we're right in there.
5) This Carolina team is soft.

Both teams did not shoot reasonably well(Carolina was 1-10 from 3 point) the key to this game will be rebounding, and fouls.
They killed us on the offensive boards last time(over the back, push offs not called) And plenty of fouls on us.
Does anyone think this game will be any different?
