Yale vs UNC game thread on: Monday 30 December 2019

[GoNtheDistance]

I can't remember a season where I have wondered so much where the offense was going to come from.

ditto. Also can’t remember a season when I cringe at the sight of some of these players getting key minutes for us. Just low talent.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bruner at the line hits two 60-55

 

[berens007]

Bruner at the line hits two 60-55

A freaking senior gave them those two points

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wow has Pierce been active tonight

 

[TarHeelMark]

We are in danger of farting this game away

I don't necessarily agree on the low talent point. Granted, it's not up to normal Carolina standards talent-wise, but there's just something. Current 5 on the floor include 3 top-100 recruits and 2 grad transfers that were at least moderately productive at their last stops.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

We might break 80 again!

Wishful thinking again.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pierce goes to the line and he gets two 62-55

 

[TarHeelMark]

Oh crap...

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Oh Lord...no...

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bruner gets a dunk after Harris's knee gives out 62-57

 

[berens007]

You have got to be effing kidding me

 

[sctarheel30]

Oh no Harris down. Didn’t look good at all

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Landed awkwardly on the plant. Hopefully just a sprain...hopefully....please....

 

[TarHeelMark]

I feel so bad for the kid

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

That looked bad.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Knee sprain if we’re lucky. What in the entire F is going on with injuries? Ahhhgg

 

[GoNtheDistance]

BRob with another awful entry pass. Makes up for it with a 3

 

[sctarheel30]

Roy fired up

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

BROB!!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Brob BOOM for the 5th time 65-59 from RDU

 

[berens007]

Big big shot there - hopefully a confidence builder

 

[sctarheel30]

Roy gonna burst a vein in his head

 

[TarHeelMark]

Well, Harris was walking without help. So that's a good sign, right?

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Shooting 1-7 from deep without BRob tonight.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Well, Harris was walking without help. So that's a good sign, right?

Unfortunately no. I remember watching Bobby Frasor tear his ACL live and he walked off without help that night.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bruner gets the bounce and his three falls in 65-62 and Carolina calls time to set up this crucial stretch

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Unfortunately no. I remember watching Bobby Frasor tear his ACL live and he walked off without help that night.

Having torn 2 ACL’s myself, It was not a good sign that he seemed familiar with the pain he was experiencing. Usually players flail on the ground and freak a bit that first time.

 

[berens007]

Have to find a way to get a good shot

 

[TarHeelMark]

Shooting 1-7 from deep without BRob tonight.

Is that bad?

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Bruner gets the bounce and his three falls in 65-62 and Carolina calls time to set up this crucial stretch

This game feels so much like clutching the defeat from the jaws of victory....hope I'm wrong.

 

[gauchoheel]

I think Yale got an extra timeout this half.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

FRANCIS!!!!

 

[gauchoheel]

Jeremiah!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Francis drives and scores which fouls Gibbidon out. 67-62

 

[berens007]

You have got to be kidding me

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Francis at the line gets the ft then Francis makes a bonehead play fouling a three point shooter. 68-64

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Francis fouls Cotton on the 3?????

 

[TarHeelMark]

Omg... are you kidding me

 

[CarolinaMagic]

Anyone who thinks the refs didnt help Yale significantly tonight needs their head examined.
