Kentucky vs UNC game thread for Saturday 16 Dec 2024

[IDUNK4HEELS]

When two evenly Blue Bloods play on a neutral court where it is anybody’s guess who might win there are some things to think about: Both teams have not played in a while. Kentucky relies a ton on three point shooting while Carolina relies a bunch on Bacot and Ingram down low. Kentucky is pretty young while UNC has a bunch of upper class men. Carolina is awful stopping three point shooting and the Wildcats live and die from the three point line. If Ryan and Davis can keep Kentucky honest I like Carolina pulling this one out..

Truth be told other than beating dook…UK is next…Not that I hate them or anything…I just enjoy the meltdown on Rupp Rafters…

Go Heels….

 

[al would]

not sure how effective Bacot will be in this one and ky's guard size is a concern on both ends .. we can't give them good looks .. jmo

 

[al would]

and the bench may play a big part for UNC cause uk loves to run too ..

Neutral court in Kat-Lanta?

 

[al would]

suffer through another Rafftery game ... can't they do any better?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Since Cadeau looks to pass more than looking to score Cormac Ryan MUST be the 4th scorer for the Tar Heels to win this battle

 

[al would]

good d starting off

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Turnover for each team to start the game

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wagner opens up the scoring on a layup but Bacot responds with a short hook 2-2, Carolina with three turnovers then Edward’s hits in close 4-2 for the Cats

 

[heels05champs]

Cormac with maybe the worst first 3 minutes I have ever seen.

 

[al would]

Ryan off to a typical start

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

A Cat three but Ryan with a jumper and a Cat slam 9-4

 

[TarHeelFanWV]

Looks to be an easy game if we could make our shots..

 

[heels05champs]

Ryan off to a typical start

He can’t play big minutes being a net negative.

 

[dtodd4475]

Not a good start with the ball pressure. Turning it over, not getting to our spots easily.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dillimgham a long jumper but Ryan left handed basket then Withers two free throws 11-8

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bad passing and turnovers everywhere 13-8

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bradshaw another dunk 15-8

 

[al would]

stupid woj foul

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers is the king of dumb turnovers.

 

[heels05champs]

This game is going like I expected. They know how to run like Carolina use to and we don’t play transition defense to stop it.

 

[al would]

flag 1 on woj

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dillingham who wanted to come to UNC is fouled by Wojcik hits 2 free throws 17-8

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau and Ingram only starters in as Washington scores 17-10

 

[al would]

bad shot by rj on the break

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Kentucky three 20-10

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis finally BOOM 20-13

 

[gauchoheel]

Cormac with maybe the worst first 3 minutes I have ever seen.

What on earth were those passes? Truly ridiculous.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Dillingham who wanted to come to UNC is fouled by Wojcik hits 2 free throws 17-8

Dillingham had plenty of opportunities to commit to UNC.

What he "wanted to" do was move with an ex-felon across the country to go to Kanye West's fake school.

 

[TarHeelFanWV]

Terrible passes and can't make anything.. typical

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Sheppard soft jumper22-13 boy can you tell the 11 days off has really hurt the team as shots are not falling and turnovers are everywhere. I know stick-em is no longer allowed but the team should could use a spray or two

 

[CarolinaBlue5]

We are so small and unathletic…we will struggle all year unless we shoot lights out

 

[Heelicious]

Wtf were we doing last 10 days. Sloppy af and getting out executed and out hustled on both ends. We can’t throw it in the ocean on wide open shots.

Bacot is a massive liability on both ends in this game. Outplayed to an embarrassing level.

 

[gauchoheel]

This game is going like I expected. They know how to run like Carolina use to and we don’t play transition defense to stop it.

I'm not sure they "know how to run" so much as have better athletes. Dillingham, Wagner, Bradshaw, Edwards are more athletic than their Carolina counterparts. That's recruiting for ya.

 

[al would]

Cormac with maybe the worst first 3 minutes I have ever seen.

no chit .. give him more pt .. smdh

 

[DaveChapelle]

Starting to understand why Withers and Ryan were key players on terrible teams last year.

Really? I don't think he's looked worse than anyone else. Much better than Ryan or Withers.

 

[dtodd4475]

Getting beat soundly on the ball both sides. Not handling the ball pressure, while their guards physically comfortable taking our on ball defenders.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

13 points in ten minutes
