If WSU has two or three active big men, they can contain Hansbrough. Many teams have accomplished that this year.
That, however, is not particularly important. These Tar Heels have quite a few options on offense. To beat Carolina, you have to be able to beat our defense.
So, if WSU is capable of exceptional offensive execution and is very good at beating traps, and can play good defense themselves, they have a shot. This is not a flash & glitz Tar Heel team. It's a lunch pail crowd that can, if permitted, pull a gourmet meal out of the lunch pail.
