UNC at Miami--Saturday 28 February 2015 game thread

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lets hope this month ends on a winning note
Looks lile CBS is carrying the game at 2 pm

 

[BillyL]

LET'S GO HEELS . . . ! ! !

 

[WoadBlue]

What time is the tip? CBS is still showing the St Johns Redmen versus the Slugging Hoyas.

 

[ChrisMPA]

I'm stuck watching Clemson pull another Clemson... Cmon CBS get to the real game

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Should be on as soon as the other game concludes

 

[WoadBlue]

Len Elmore just told the key truth about today's game: Miami needs a big W to secure itself an NCAA bid. Latrranaga surely has put the mark on this game.

 

[ChrisMPA]

oh god now it's tied.

 

[ChrisMPA]

overtime. wonderful..... really wonderful

How did Clemson manage to lose that huge lead?

 

[BillyL]

UNC up 10-4 . . quick start by the Heels.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

10-4 for UNC ---Johnson 4 points 3 rebounds

 

[BillyL]

Berry and Hicks now in for Paige and Johnson . .

St Johns finally put away Georgetown, but then they went to commercials. I assume the UNC game is up next. If they interview Lavin, I will want to shoot CBS executives.

 

[ChrisMPA]

They tried to run clock for ten minutes and well, they're clemson. that's how they blew that huge lead

 

[BillyL]

12-4 now . .

 

[geo1464]

Is that Theo dressed?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Miami point guard who destroyed Duke in Durham is riding the pines.

 

[RP12]

Yep Theo dressed but not expected to play. Dunked in pregame apparently.

I get the Raycom/ACC Network on a local channel, not a netwiork affiliate. I watched the opening of the GT-CU game thinking ti would be close. I left it begind when Clemson led by 20 something.

James just scored, makimngiti 14-6 UNC.

 

[WoadBlue]

Canes drain a 3

15-9 UNC

 

[WoadBlue]

Paige shot a 17 foot brick off the back board, and Miami took the rebound down for a quick score.

Paige is simply not right.

 

[ChrisMPA]

and now I'm watching dueling timeouts and fouls between clemson and gt. 30 minutes after Carolina started. They should fix this kinda crap.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

As soon as Rodriquez came in to run the point Miami looked like a whole different team. UNC leaving too many points at the line

Now Paige drills a 3, followed by a Miami 3

20-14 UNC

 

[strummingram]

I wish JP would stop taking those 2-point jumpers that he usually misses and opt instead for guys who are better shooters... whoever they are.

 

[WoadBlue]

We can put up some ugly shots - just flat missing when open.

 

[Heelicious]

I swear - when did our offense become only Tokoto and James shooting jumpers? Stupid

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

22-18 for the good guys---Meeks so far is a non factor

Danny Green would hit a high % of those 14-18 foot shots. Tokoto bricks them over and over.

I've never seen a player NOT play to their strengths more than JP .. Twice on a breakaway he could of put up a highlight reel dunk but just hesitates ... But yea those jump shots should be limited for sure

 

[Snoopy3320]

JP please stop shooting those 12-15 foot jump shots. There is a reason you are open, Plus they brick out so long it leads to a Miami fast break. Do what you do best. Attack the basket to get points and get offensive rebounds.

Paige is simply not right.

No he is not healthy. And he absolutely gets abused on defense when UNC goes to a 2 guard line-up like Berry/Paige or Britt/Paige . . . the experiment with Marcus at the 2 spot simply does not work for us.

 

[jclarke42]

If Miami could shoot, we would be getting drilled!

 

[WoadBlue]

Jackson fell for that fake all the way.

 

[RP12]

Even hurt Marcus is probably the best 2 on our roster.

If he were an inch taller and 10 pounds of muscle heavier, it could work. But as he is, it is probably never going to work well.

 

[Snoopy3320]

Getting to be pretty obvious UNC cannot guard these guys man to man. May want to try zone.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Miami going to the hole way too easy

 

[LMControl]

Meeks, to me, almost looks like he's hit the wall this season. His quickness and ability to get shots up are almost gone, there's almost no lift there. Wonder if there is something wrong.

Taller, more muscle and healthy
