UNC at Syracuse game thread on Tuesday 13 February 2024

[al would]

No idea what they are running on offense not sure they know either

With RJ at pg the O starts and ends at the perimeter most times

 

[DaveChapelle]

Playing the Cuse is like playing against Virginia. They work the clock and then shoot a high percentage of their shots. Carolina 1 point this half

This Cuse team isn't remotely close to the way UVA plays.

We're letting them beat us with one on one moves.

 

[Geth]

Starting to really wonder about the in between the ears strength of this team.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Why won't Hubert press on D?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Mintz back to the line gets two more 52-43

 

[ChiShankCity]

Cadeau doesn’t have a floater game. Or he’s rushing it today.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis BOOM from the top 52-46 need stops

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Need stops

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau BOOM from the top 52-49

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot back in and he is hammered he gets two fre throws 54-51 Mintz having a field and glides in to score twice Cadeau finds Bacot again and UNC is staying close.

 

[Heelicious]

Our defense for some reason can’t stop them from getting whatever shot they want. I do think we need to trap / press them because they are really shortening the game

 

[ChiShankCity]

Ryan had a wide open corner 3 that he turned down, drove it and then turned it over. Shoot the ball if you’re open.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maybe put Trimble on Mintz and go small with three guards because that is what Syracuse is doing. Find some way to get stops

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Mintz again 58-53

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan a wide open shot after a nice head fake 58-55

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau finds Davis who gets two on a goal tending call and a trying ft 58-58

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two Cuse layups 62-58

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis coming alive BOOM 62-61

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot from Cadeau again

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a euro step and a layup and Carolina retakes the lead finally

 

[CarolinaBlue5]

Love the fact Davis has switched up the way he’s guarding ball screens the last 8 minutes or so

 

[strummingram]

Sometimes, the hardest shot for the Heels are the ones that are right under the basket! It's amazing!

 

[Heelicious]

Trimble coming in. I hope it’s not for EC. Maybe for cormac?

 

[Quest4Seven]

I cant get behind this defense

 

[ChiShankCity]

Love the fact Davis has switched up the way he’s guarding ball screens the last 8 minutes or so

Good call on it. The Bacot trap has at least taken away some rhythm.

 

[Quest4Seven]

Good call on it. The Bacot trap has at least taken away some rhythm.

Theyre getting wide open looks every possession after they pass out of the trap

 

[strummingram]

Cuse shooting 63%

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Starling puts up a prayer and it is answered 67-65 on a ridiculous bank from nearly half court

 

[Geth]

Like how Bacot was obviously injured still limping and neither one of these two bit announcers to my memory have mentioned it. I long for the technology to mute the talking heads and watch the game with only the squeak of the sneaks.

 

[sctarheel30]

Not a good sign with that heave from cuse

 

[strummingram]

Looks like one of those nights... again


Cuse making shots blindfolded

 

[Heelicious]

Of course that goes in.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Bacot is clearly hobbled.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Like how Bacot was obviously injured still limping and neither one of these two bit announcers to my memory have mentioned it. I long for the technology to mute the talking heads and watch the game with only the squeak of the sneaks.

He literally left the game and went behind the bench. Neither announcer noticed.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

When those shots go it’s pretty much a done deal

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Now the team needs to concentrate on getting some stops

 

[DaveChapelle]

Good call on it. The Bacot trap has at least taken away some rhythm.

I still don't understand why we haven't full court pressed a team that only has 6 players.

Instead we're looking for creative ways to help Bacot limp around halfcourt screens

 

[CarolinaBlue5]

Theyre getting wide open looks every possession after they pass out of the trap

They were getting wide open looks when we weren’t doing it lol at least it throws them off some! I might switch it up now though

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Nobody misses more layups and put backs than the Heels

 

[UNC-75]

Not sure cuse can keep up this ridiculous shooting. Let’s hope in the law of averages
