Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports,

your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host, Tommy, Ashley, joined by Greg Barnes, Ross Martin, our weekly Tuesday night,

actually recording our Tuesday night show on a Tuesday night.

Greg, I'll come your way first.

We talked about it briefly off air.

Let's talk about it on the air.

I believe a question was posed to Roy Williams in the postgame press conference, so I'll pose it to you.

This North Carolina basketball team

as good as the Virginia Tech and Gonzaga performances or somewhere around the four lost performances?

Well, I think the fact that we have seen a couple games now where they can shoot lights out against a good opponent and win, that's a positive development.

I think Gonzaga is a better team than Virginia Tech, but that was after a bumpy start, North Carolina,

I just kind of put the, hit the gas and and uh virginia tech really had no

answer and the fact that they have such a small bench i don't know what it is with the acc but

north colina's played what three straight games against teams that have like nobody on the bench

and i don't get that but that's that's how it's been i mean Miami has seven guys and virginia tech's not much difference i mean anyway that but that's how it's been. I mean, Miami has, what, seven guys?

Virginia Tech's not much different.

Anyway, that's a tangent.

But I think Gonzaga's better in Virginia Tech, but North Carolina, you know, because they

were so efficient offensively, we're just a markedly better team.

I think that's kind of the key takeaway.

Now, does that mean that North Carolina is over the hump?
