Haha I was right there with you. Pretty much the entirety of section 14 also came to the consensus that as much as we love him, we cannot wait for him to move on...and take his t rex arms(straight from the mouth of a little girl).

Allen, not Plumlee. You are bizarro JML.

1st half must be almost entirely zone. Let's not be ridiculous. If you had to pick one halfway decent team in the nation to play zone against, UNC would be that team. Get to halftime with no one in foul trouble and some energy left.
2nd half can be more man to man if K simply must have it. I don't see the harm in just going zone the whole way, though.
Man to man matchups, assuming Amile still can't play through pain:
Allen on Berry
Thornton on Paige
Jones on Jackson
Ingram on Johnson
Plumlee on Meeks
Not so important, though, since Duke should be switching everything and going under screens in man to man. It should effectively look a lot like a zone. Let UNC take jumpers.
I fear Ingram fouling out on Johnson, but not as much if there is lots of zone. Johnson has only played 27 mpg in ACC and is still foul prone, at 4.7 fouls per 40 min in ACC, so UNC should be worried about Johnson fouling out guarding Ingram. Their advantage is not being as crippled as Duke would be if any of Duke's six players foul out, let alone Ingram. I don't think UNC can hide Johnson on Jones, because this would pull Johnson away from the basket, taking away a lot of rebounding and rim protection. Meeks can't guard Ingram or Jones, so he's stuck on Plumlee.
I think the refs will decide this game, not in a devious or unfair way, but just by making a few 50/50 calls one way or the other.
