Ehhh maybe so, but give me this Dana Altman coached squad to give UNC all they want tomorrow. Sure, UNC has the tradition and prestige but they don't have the DOGS. Oregon has the grit and toughness I look for this time of year, on both ends. The one and only area that concerns me is the front line depth, or lack of, that Oregon now has without Boucher. It's yet to affect them in the tournament because they've been playing teams soft in the front court. KU was the perfect matchup for Oregon. No way KU was winning that game and result proved it. However, if there's one player I would put my money on to battle alone with the size of UNC's frontline it's Jordan Bell. Jordan Bell is that guy. He's that DOG. UNC doesn't have a player that can takeover in the clutch imo. Some of you may think it's Justin Jackson but I disagree. That player isn't on this years UNC team. Last year, Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige were the heart and soul of the team who lost in the title game. I can't bet on Jackson and a iffy Berry to do get this team back there. Oregon has that man, Dillon Brooks. Yeah, he's that DOG. That dude that can put his team on his back when the entire country is counting them out. This is a perfect spot for Oregon. Overlooked and disrespected against the almighty North Carolina. They know what they're up against. Oh, and there's still the kid playing better than anyone right now in Tyler Dorsey. Child please.

I think you're putting way too much on the intangibles personally. North Carolina has a +13 rebound differential, best since Michigan St in 2001. No Boucher is going to hurt them this game.
I liked Oregon +5 initially, but have flip flopped heavily. Week break will kill their momentum. UNC is a big name program, Oregon simply is not.
