If there is one thing the Tar Heels must do, it is stop Reggie Jackson. Opposing guards have a knack at bombarding the Heels with points especially, if the opposing guards can shoot the three. Reggie Jackson can.
The good news is that there is a possibility of Jackson not starting. I know that he did not start against Duke and I felt that it got the Eagles started off on the wrong foot. We shall see.
The Boston College offense will spread the floor, and UNC must be able to get out on their men and not allow open three-pointers.
Offensively, I am sure the Heels will try to get the ball inside, and get Harrison Barnes some easy looks.
UNC is looking better game-by-game, whereas the Eagles have struggled recently losing three of their last four. Boston College will have home court advantage which cannot be overlooked.
This is the first game in a pivotal stretch for the Heels that will include a matchup with Florida State and a trip to Duke. A win tonight would keep the confidence going, and the next week will look much more manageable.
