Someone told me once he intentionally has his teams suck for the first 2-3 months so he can scream at them later, lmao. Obviously isn't true, but his teams *do* tend to underachieve out of the gate. Maybe because they don't run offense.
They just had no real game plan offensively other than "ok Cassius go to work." Same reason we hurt them a couple years ago in the Classic, when Izzo just gave Miles Bridges the ball outside on literally every possession.

The best Xs and Os coach in the country has no real game plan...ok
MSU got in foul trouble early and had to play some ridiculous line ups. We ran good sets and got open looks, despite one guy regularly being out of place.

I think UNC's got perimeter defense issues, and they're definitely going to have issues on the days when Cole is merely good because no one else on the team can score like Cole can. But it generally helps having the likely #1 draft pick on your team.
