Georgia Tech at UNC on Saturday 4 January 2020 game thread

[IDUNK4HEELS]

No Harris, no Cole and no Platek available as guards today so Keeling and Smith must step up and give the Heels some points. Keeling always looks to score where Smith Seldom does but these two guys to me are the key to the game today.

yes Black and Bacot are also fighting nagging injuries but they MUST also play thru pain and give UNC some badly needed offense.

It is not fair to expect BRob to connect on five threes from downtown again to carry the offense yet against so it must be a group effort on the scoresheet.

Bottom line the team is at home on a two game winning streak and hopefully they can rise to the occasion with strong help from the Carolina fan base at the Dean Dome to make it Three in a row.

Well, if that's true then it's best that he's not on the court. Dont need that kind of attitude.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Come on Brooks, can't give up that first step on baseline.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Brob two early turnovers

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another turnover

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

4-0 early for Georgia Tech

 

[TarHeelMark]

Welp

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Smith already in

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

8-0 for Tech on 2 straight dunks

 

[TarHeelMark]

The ocean isn't big enough for us to throw it into.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot 2 fts. 8-2

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

There's ZERO reason for a big man to get his own rebound, gather himself, then get a dunk!!!!

 

[Lewis&Miller]

We can't win without Francis.

 

[gauchoheel]

Offense just looks ridiculous. Ridiculous.

 

[CarolinaMagic]

For the love God just let the season end. I've seen more basketball IQ and fire from a 12 year old rec league team.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Offense just looks ridiculous. Ridiculous.

What offense?

 

[TarHeelMark]

Offense just looks ridiculous. Ridiculous.

We are ~ 1/3 thru the season, and they look completely inept. Very disappointing.

 

[truetarheelraider0806]

did Francis get hurt??

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

10-2 st the first TV timeout. Why Smith came in so early is a mystery. Carolina putting up bricks from every direction. Brooks already o for three. May have to put in Pierce early again.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

You're welcome. I paid the refs. Didn't think they'd need to call a punk travel this early to help us out, though.

 

[gauchoheel]

We are ~ 1/3 thru the season, and they look completely inept. Very disappointing.

It'd be one thing if it was just shots not going in. But the spacing, the sets, the loose handles, and the passing... ridiculous.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

We are ~ 1/3 thru the season, and they look completely inept. Very disappointing.

I mean, I get the whole injury camp, but there's no reason that Robinson should start the game with back to back turnovers. no reason for Black to drive it into the teeth of the defense and take a contested 18 footer. ABSOLUTELY no reason to lose your defensive assignment for easy layups.

 

[WoadBlue]

Not pretty.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another AWFUL turnover

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another turnover, please

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Alvarado from Durham 13-2

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

13-2

 

[TarHeelMark]

Oh yeah that Alvarado dude is kinda punkish, isn't he?

 

[TarHeelMark]

Oh yeah that Alvarado dude is kinda punkish, isn't he?

Yep, I remember him now.. punk

 

[gauchoheel]

Embarassing.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Seriously, how many shots can the Heels miss to start a game?!?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Zero for nine so far as Tech now leads as Rush and Huffman come in as the starters just suck to this point

 

[TarHeelMark]

This is unreal.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another turnover 17-2

 

[Carolina Way]

Roy, I get it. We blow. But is no really the right time to have Shea out there?

 

[TarHeelMark]

How is that not a foul on that mugging?

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Zero for nine so far as Tech now leads as Rush and Huffman come in as the starters just suck to this point

I get the whole "find someone who will get after it" mindset....but Rush and Huffman aren't gonna fix a THING.
