UNC = UCLA East?

Has anyone been following the huge collapse of UNC? If not, you should. It's kind of fun to see. It is amazing how similar of a downfall it is to UCLA's. There is a youth movement in both places, as UNC also plays tons of freshmen and sophomores, although they still have much more experience than UCLA. Unlike the Bruins, Carolina has tanked it up in the ACC having lost six of eight conference games. However, it should be noted that the ACC >> Pac-10 this year, so that fact might be slightly skewed. Additionally, Carolina has actually beaten all the teams they should beat out of conference, except College of Charleston. That fact sits much more comfortably when you consider UCLA lost at home to Fullerton and on a neutral court to the likes of Portland and Long Beach State on a neutral court. So the two situations are somewhat different, but in the big scheme of things its a very analogous story. Two powerhouses in the world of college basketball that wear light shades of blue and recent final four programs, that will probably not make the Dance. Still, I would love to be in Carolina's position much more than UCLA's. You know, being the defending National Champs.
