UNC at Indiana Date 11/27/2012 9:30:00 PMLive StatsLinkTV ESPN Team Stats Embed This Chart On Your WebsitePence's Quick Thoughts The featured game of Tuesday night has one main interesting storyline with Cody Zeller playing against his brother's former team, a team that heavily recruited him. Of course, that storyline has zero effect on the game. Indiana is a legitimate #1 team in the nation and on the surface the Heels are going to have an extremely tough time winning. The Hoosiers are 6th in the nation in eFG%, 4th in the nation at getting to the FT line where they shoot 74%, they're a good offensive rebounding team and a dominant defensive rebounding team. Let's focus on what it would take for UNC to win this game. Any Heels win has to include a successful night shooting the 3 point shot and foul trouble for Indiana's interior players, most hopefully Zeller. James Michael McAdoo needs to take on this matchup as a challenge but has to be smart on the defensive end, as

Its that kind of performance you have to live with early on in the season with a young team. The Heels should cruise past Chaminade, but it will be interesting to see if Roy Williams makes any adjustments to playing time and starters tonight. ******* North Carolina was the obvious favorite to cruise to the Maui Invitational championship as the field's only ranked team. Butler had other ideas. After being routed in the semifinals, the ninth-ranked Tar Heels are relegated to facing host Chaminade in the third-place game Wednesday night.

Butler at UNC Date 11/20/2012 8:00:00 PMLocation Maui InvitationalLive StatsCheck At Gametime.TV ESPN2 Team Stats Embed This Chart On Your WebsitePence's Quick Thoughts It's easy to look at UNC's opening round over Mississippi State and go ahead and move them past Butler, but it'd be a mistake. First, remember Mississippi State is a bad, bad team. Second, with youth comes inconsistency. UNC will need to learn how to put two games together and this will be their first attempt at that against a decent Butler team. The Bulldogs biggest strength is on the boards, they are not a particularly good shooting team nor are they a good free throw shooting team. They don't take many free throws and their opponents do. They managed to get past Marquette on Monday on a last second 3 that was likely all over the highlight shows. The Heels are the better team, but will they give a consistent effort and have production from someone named James Michael McAdoo for the second straight

On the surface it looks like the Heels might be challenged, after all they are playing a major conference opponent to start the tournament. Of course when you look at Mississippi State's loss to #290 (Pomeroy) ranked Troy in their season opener you feel a little more comfortable if you're a Tar Heel fan. So far this season, MSU turns the ball over at a high rate (23% TO Rate), is pathetic shooting free throws (55%), and doesn't defensive rebound . If UNC can stay out of its own way in this one, the Heels should roll. ****** Both North Carolina and Mississippi State will go deep into their benches during their stay in Hawaii, but for vastly different reasons.

Despite an overall easy season-opening victory, the No. 11 Tar Heels hope to please Williams with a more complete effort Sunday against Florida Atlantic.
