UNC will be fine, they have 4 losses all to current Top 10 teams (Northwestern, Syracuse, Notre Dame, JMU) and they have 2 wins against quality opponents (Virginia & Florida). BC coming up and they have the ACC Tournament where they will face stiff competition. It doesn't look like there are any clear cut favorites to win the National Championship so you never know what will happen. Down year for UNC would be a great year for most programs.[/quot
UNC should not be struggling because of 3 players out. They are a top team therefore should have the bench. Can't use the 3 players out as an excuse, sorry.

Ummmm… true. But, do an exercise with the top 3 teams and remove 3 of their top players/starters. I think a different outcome in all the games! It does make a difference. So, yes, losing 3 starters makes a difference. Sorry.
