Unfortunately, that may translate to wearing out by the end of the season.

Expect the usual UNC pattern — early ACC tourney loss, then a surge of energy after the extra rest. If they face other thin teams in the late rounds, they could go all the way. If they face deep and powerful teams, they could go out before the final four.

They are currently 2nd in the country in adjusted tempo, and unless White or Watts start playing real minutes they will essentially have a 7 man rotation. Currently only Marshall averages over 28 mpg, and he has just over 31 himself. I’m not saying that they will turn into UVA or anything, but you would think that they might have to slow down a little if guys suddenly have to play well over 30 minutes a night.
