I am a worrier by nature. If you read my preview of the Georgia Tech game, you’ll remember that I had a reasonable concern about Michael Devoe, the leading scorer in the country. I could see him --crystal clearly-- going off against a UNC team that had only just put together a complete defensive performance against Michigan. Considering how Atlanta has been a house of horrors for the Tar Heels, this fear was certainly justified.
The Yellow Jackets are averaging 74.4 ppg and had topped 75 points three times, including 88 points against Georgia. This offensive potential is troublesome when paired with a UNC defense that had given up 80 points or more four times.
