UNC vs Villanova game thread on Turkey day 23 November 2023

[RP12]

So predictable

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Let Cadeau drive on this last play get fouled or score

IDUNK, I thought the exact same thing.

 

[Heelicious]

Man I would’ve liked anything going more to the basket there

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Maybe coach Lebo should be in charge of end of game play calls

 

[RP12]

As soon as RJ took the ball out of bounds you knew what it would result in

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan with a drive 70_68

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau fouls out and he joins Withers and Ingram on the pines

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hart all 3 free throws 71-70

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble at the line buries two 72-71

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Longino with a bank but Wojcik follows up74-73

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Moore muscles over Trimble and a ft 76-74

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dixon back to the line gets one 77-74

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot a flush 77-76

 

[Oak ridger]

13-point difference in free throws-team just looks tired.

 

[gkss]

need a stop

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Gotta double Dixon and hope for a miss from deep

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Armstrong down the middle and Davis misses a wide open layup

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Moore 2 fts 81-76 but Davis gets a layup 81-78

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The wildcats are great from the line

 

[GoNtheDistance]

RJ 7-21 today smdh

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis at the line brings in two more then another Davis layup 83-80

 

[TarHeelFanWV]

I blame free throws and bacot for this one

 

[heels05champs]

Umm, it’s past time to shoot a 3.

 

[2000tiger]

HD LOST THIS GAME PLUS REFS!!!

 

[jrhessey]

Davis has 23 points on 22 shots

 

[Oak ridger]

HD LOST THIS GAME PLUS REFS!!!

I agree.

 

[Oak ridger]

What was that by Ryan-injured.

 

[Rabidfrog]

HD LOST THIS GAME PLUS REFS!!!

You misspelled RJ

 

[dtodd4475]

If that is a bad high ankle sprain it could be awhile for Cormac to recover.

 

[Kool1234567]

Coach Davis still can’t coach…Embarrassing what this basketball program has become…Nova ran the same play over and over…This ain’t Jay Wright Nova either…

 

[heels05champs]

Well, there was a complete blown opportunity at an important win which we will look back on in March.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan a ft after a steal 83-81 then he goes down. Great game but why was not a intentional foul called late when Ryan was fouled and the opponent made no attempt at the ball…

 

[NCAAUCoach]

Hubert not adjusting defense and allowing isolation back downs is insane to me.

 

[heels05champs]

Hubert not adjusting defense and allowing isolation back downs is insane to me.

His lack of coaching ability along with his staff reared its ugly head again tonight. Same story, different game.

 

[dtodd4475]

Got beat at the line, 3 guys fouling out. Mando badly outplayed by Dixon. Hopefully Ryan is not out for too long. A lot to take away positive from this one, but dang, gotta get these non conference matchups.

 

[Heelicious]

Heels got beat by a tougher team today. Bacot looked especially soft slow weak.

But with nova being more physical at every position, tell me how Heels committed 8 more for and nova got 16 more FT attempts. Bogus.

Well we fouled them three times on 3-pters. That's 9 free throws right there. And they constantly had the ball inside on physical back downs where you'd expect fouls, whereas we took a lot of floaters and midrangers. Nova also has smarter defenders.

Seems pretty understandable to me.

 

[TarHeelFanWV]

Bad loss either way. If Villanova ends up being good we will miss this win. If they end up being bad, it'll be a bad loss for us.

 

[HeelzLover]

Well we fouled them three times on 3-pters.

How do we foul them on the hand on these 3 pointers and they fall to the ground. That pisses me off to no end that the stupid refs call these fouls

 

[TarHeelFanWV]

Don't even have a guy who can stop Dixon. Sad.
