Would have loved to have gotten Sam Pendleton from ND but seems we never had a chance

I don’t see any true leader(s)

Well dear lord he was was a good big man himself so he should know how to play the position. Not asking him to coach the team just a position player. Under your logic Hansbourgh would suck too but who knows I would tend to say he wouldn’t.

Logically speaking if we have enough talent to had a shot to beat 4 of those teams then we have enough talent to not be squeaking out wins against Boston College at home in overtime

Right on man. It seems like this team has regressed.

Withers is actually in his 6th year of college.

But to your point, I don't see a vocal leader on the court. Ingram was probably the best vocal leader on last year's team.

The rational part of my brain knows that sometimes bad teams just have good nights against you and also that it's really difficult for teams to bring their all every game, especially against less talented teams with big games coming up. But, man, this was really hard to watch. I have almost zero confidence that UNC can win any of the next 4 games. On a positive note, I do remember a really bad home loss to Pitt in 2022 and feeling the same way and then the team clicking and going on that magical run. Conversely, with the exception of 2024, all of our teams under Hubert have had these months-long stretches of atrocious unCarolina basketball. I listened to the podcast with Pinson, Felton, and JJ recently where they chalked this up to missing in the portal and the need for players to shoulder responsibility. But if we can't also recognize an inability to bring in the necessary talent to arguably the most storied basketball school with what should be almost unlimited funds and big names then what are we doing? Or if we can't recognize an inability to adapt to roster imperfections and still maximize the top 15 in the country talent that is there...what are we doing?

End of rant. Glad we won. But still, ugh

If you want to tell the tail of the fact that we have talent but our coaching is terrible we lost to #1, 4 ,5, 8, 12 and #25 teams in the country and in 4 of those games we competed pretty good with a shot to win, but we almost lost at home to BC and did lose at home to Stanford and took a last shot to beat ND. That screams coaching not lack of talent.

Give the same money we gave Belichick to Kelvin Sampson. Best pure coach in college basketball by a long shot. What an ending against Kansas

Big Freethrows by Jalen Washington.

Points of the game.

Just my quick take ..

A couple games ago I made a comment about how much better and more active we looked on defense .. so much for that.

We let BC shoot 60% from three.

We let a team that averages less than 70 a game drop 90 on us at home.

Vegas had us as 20pt favs @home and we had to scratch and claw to get in to OT.

I have no fng clue what hubcap is thinking starting the line up he did ... what was he trying to accomplish @gary-7 ?

After watching this ish show today I think we could easily lose the next 4 games by double digits.

I'll leave the rest and take a stab at the lineup: I imagine it was because BC is physical but not "long". And starting Lubin vs their thick Bigs spared Wash foul trouble.

In tbose senses it worked, as we outboarded the by 13, and Wash was around for 18, 6 and 3.
