It's time to shut up North Carolina. Yes Kendall Marshall got hurt but if you can't win with a starting 5 of the best kids in the country, all who probably will be drafted in the lottery, let alone the first round, then you have a much bigger problem. Injuries make you realize what kind of fortitude your team has and more importantly how good your coaches are. I'm not saying Roy Williams is a bad coach (not directly at least) but at some point that's what it is going to come down to. Talent can mask a lot of deficiencies, but if you lose your point guard and your best scorer doesn't show up then it takes real coaching to overcome that and put your players in the proper position to succeed.
Spin this to UVA. Yes our tournament game was bad but we played a good chunk of the season with 8 scholarship players and towards the end only 7. That's division one scholarship players. Even after injuries UNC still almost had as many MCDONALD'S ALL AMERICANS as we had scholarship players. Even with those injuries we still hung tough with Carolina and Florida State twice? And not once did we hear Coach Bennett complain. Adjustments were made and the team moved on. That's the mark of a good coach. You need to have your team prepared for anything, and not use excuses to cover up what appear to be your deficiencies as a coach. If you have a backup point guard that is afraid to shoot the ball then you as a coach need to do something about it. Or just go bring in another McDonald's All American, and buy another shitty plaid suit. Tool.
