The Cats have played very well in getting to this point, but this should be where it comes to a halt. Curtis Sumpter, arguable Nova's best player will not play this weekend, which will hurt against the deep Tar Heels. What people are forgetting about Carolina is that McCants missed much of the last three weeks of the regualr season with an infection, and was rusty in the ACC tournament loss to Clemson. He is no longer rusty, and when he is hitting from the outside, this team is outright unstoppable. Nova has played very well this season, but they are a team of Juniors and Sophomores and no real NBA talent. Next year could be Nova's year, but this sure looks like the year of the Tar Heel. Large favorites do very well in the round of sixteen. Too much respect being given to Nova here, for beating an SEC team. Three stars on the Tar Heels.
