Tennessee at UNC game thread 29 November 2023

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I loved the fact that last year Tennessee sent Duke home on March madness because they were allowed to play bully ball but I do not like the fact that they play similar to Villanova and UConn in which they play physically and basically just wear you down.

For Carolina to win they cannot let Tennessee dictate how the game is to be played and cannot back down from being mugged. Others will have to help Bacot on the boards and the Tar Heels can not rely on three point shooting all night. Thank goodness this contest is at home…

Haven't heard of Ryan's status but I sure as hell hope EC starts. And the way you stop the physical play is with transition, fresh bodies and crisp ball movement. GO HEELS !!

Also gonna need some good in game bench coaching !!

yup .. just listening to pre-game and he "is available" fwiw

 

[al would]

still not a big fan of rushing a player back this early in the year but if he's cleared to play then why not if needed

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Adu a layup then Davis BOOM 13-10

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina shooting basically nothing but threes

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Although Tennessee has big guards I wish Cadeau would try and go to the hole and draw defenders so his teammates would get wide open shots after he passes to them

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot a power move and score as Ryan comes in but Aidoo a jumper then from the corner Ryan BOOM 18-12

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot has a different look tonight and he has two from the line 20-12

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

High and Washington in

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

[al would]

run run run ... and some great D

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan from the line drains all three 26-12

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington from High 28-12

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Knecht a corner three but Ryan responds with two more free throws 30-15

 

[dtodd4475]

They are guarding thev3 and rim protecting, making them take mid range. That is huge.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

James a smashing dunk and he takes Washington twice but the Bank is open as Davis with a BOOM 33-19

 

[sctarheel30]

Keep being aggressive

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram a post up and a score 35-19 but James again then a Trimble reverse layup 37-21

 

[sctarheel30]

[RP12]

Lots of threes but they’ve mostly been great shots.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble scores on a give and go from Bacot 39-21

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot scores down low on a wonderful entry pass from Cadeau and he is fouled 41_21

 

[sctarheel30]

Haven’t been able to watch a lot of their games this season and I am impressed with cadeau pushing the ball up the court

 

[Assasin3200]

Welp im a believer this team is pretty good. Don't think our bench has ever been this talented.

 

[Kool1234567]

Bacot going strong to the basket…Night and day from last week…Also Trimble is really finding his groove…
