UNC vs Boston College game thread on the CW on Saturday 20 January 2024

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Some different things for this game. The contest will be on the CW channel which everyone does not have and it has a scheduled tip off at 2:15 pm in Chestnut Hill…

BC is not having a bad year as they come in 11-6 overall and 2 up and 4 down in the ACC…

They have three starters scoring in double digits lead by their 7 foot center Quinten Post who leads the team with 16.9 ago and 7.4 rpg. He reminds me a lot of Flipowski of Duke as he is a dual threat inside as well as outside and is hitting 41.7 from downtown. Bacot, Washington, Ingram and Withers will probably all get their opportunity to slow the big man down a bit.

Claudell Harris at 6.3 and Zaeden Zachery at 6’2 are his backcourt mates and they are presently averaging 15 ppg and 12.2 ppg. They also can shoot the three.

BC on paper are better than Louisville and they are playing at home in front of a sold out arena so I for one think this basketball battle will be much closer than the experts have picked. Whoever wins the battle in the paint between Bacot and Post will probably be the decisive factor on who wins. In a shootout that goes down to the final couple of minutes I believe Carolina behind Davis and Ryan clutch free throws will prevail by about six points…

For those of you that do not have the CW channel and cannot get a radio channel from wherever you call home I will try my very level best to give you a up to the minute play by play in regards to the score, the scorers and other tidbits of info that I feel is important to say…One thing I did not mention to say earlier is that BC is 7-2 at home with just a overtime loss to NC State and the other loss to Wake Forest…

 

[NorCalTarheel]

I was surprised to see that I have the CW and that the game is on! Dunk, I can help out for those who don't have access to the game with whatever observations I can muster up.

That would help, thanks

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Waiting for our game to start and enjoying watching NCSux lose to VT!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

We may actually not have a overlap from the first game

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Henson was pretty good on the color commentator for the VT vs NcSux

 

[NorCalTarheel]

GAME TIME!! LETS GO HEELS!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

McGlocton over Davis and again 4-0

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau goes to the hole and he is fouled, hits one of two 4-1

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau again to the rim and a layup 4-3 then a short jumper by Davis 5-4

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Heels look like they are sleepwalking combined with not hitting open jumpers.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dunk by BC and Post nails a three 9-5. Carolina very cold from the floor including 0 for 4 from downtown then a Ryan turnover

 

[UNC-75]

Could someone explain to me why Cadeau does the spin move when starting the offense when no one is near him? I’ve seen RJ use it a few times as well so it’s something the coaches want. I see it as a wasted move that one of these days will cause a TO. I just don’t get the move.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Our defense has been bad early. 2 guys ran away from the guy with the ball, and the end result is a dunk.

Also Ryan has missed 2 open 3s, turned down 3 other open 3s, and just dribbled the ball off his leg.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

BC doubling Mando on every touch.

 

[gauchoheel]

Ryan passes up a wide open 3, then dribbles off his leg going in. I wish Ingram and Ryan would be less hesitant on open 3s; those are good shots. Better to take that 15 seconds into the shot clock than to continue hunting. Half the time we barely get anything on those possessions, and rarely do we get a better shot than a 35-40% three.

 

[gkss]

Ryan has to be ready to catch and shoot- then turned it over on the drive.

 

[DaveChapelle]

BC doubling Mando on every touch.

And it's working.

That same topic came up in another post. It has to be something that the coaches taught because both EC and RJ do it. I agree, it's ridiculous and is going to cause a costly turnover someday

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Jalen and Seth in to try to turn up the defensive pressure

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble and Washington now in

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Bacot doubled and RJ clanks an open three

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis fouled going right to the goal and he misses the first but drains the second 9-6

 

[gkss]

5 seconds?

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Our defense has not yet gotten off the bus

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

5 second call not called allowing Post to complete a three point play but Weathers now in hits a short jumper and BC another dunk. Trimble BOOM from the deep right corner 14-11

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Zackery at the stripe sinks two 16-11

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers BOOM from the corner 16-14

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Withers with a three and then his second personal foul 14-16 at TV time out.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Weathers trying to body up Post gets his second foul of the afternoon

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers is playing well on offense, so of course he gets 2 early fouls and will have to sit

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nothing offensively from Bacot, Ryan or Ingram thru the first eight minutes

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lots of silly fouls and turnovers

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble determined to go to the rim is fouled and he also misses his first but gets the second to fall 16-15

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan scores on a break out 17-16

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams are as cold as it is outside as nothing is falling

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

So sloppy but it is nice seeing Okonkwo getting some time on the court

 

[DaveChapelle]

Settling for jumpshots.

Ingram needs to give the ball up to a point guard instead of continuing to drive into 3 defenders. And trying a bounce pass in traffic to Okonkwo of all people??

 

[berens007]

My goodness so many wasted possessions
