Syracuse and UNC game thread—Saturday 13 January 2024

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Finally home after three games on the road. Syracuse under a new coach comes in 11-4 so Carolina cannot take them liightly. Mintz is a tremendous player averaging like 18 points a game but unless CAROLINA has a complete letdown the Tar Heels should kept the winning streak going

Back to the bench Wojcik.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble. Withers and Wojcik come in off the bench and they join Bacot and Davis as the five on the court for the home team.,Carolina has yet to hit to hit from downtown

 

[RP12]

Poor shooting keeping it close for now

[RP12]

Mondo has to be smarter than that

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Mintz at the line cans 2 of 3 28-14

 

[ChrisMPA]

theres a 3

 

[RP12]

So nice to have the pitch ahead back-at least when EC is on the floor

 

[dtodd4475]

This looks like a blowout. Would be nice, keep the foot on the gas, and letting the deeper bench get some run in the 2nd half would be ideal.

 

[Kool1234567]

If EC starts hitting that open 3 people are in trouble…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble BOOM from the deep corner and then a Mintz slam and then Ingram BOOM from Franklin street and it is a quick timeout by Syracuse. The Orange are not playing the famous zone defense that they played for the last 40 years under Boeheim and because of that Carolina is getting a lot of great looks..:

UNC has had some great PG but man this kid is something else…The way he plays D is something I didn’t expect…He is a dog…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]
