Carolina vs Duke game thread on: Saturday 1 Feb 2025

Hubert is a fantastic human being but he’s a god awful head basketball coach at this level. Given where we are in the season, his post game pressers continue to be baffling. Such a nice guy who I firmly believe just doesn’t get it.
I agree, is post pressers have really become hard to watch. Because he seems like such a good person, I feel bad for him actually. Is it that he doesnt get it as you say, or does he get it but doesnt address it, deflects a lot? I really want him to succeed but it's not turning out so well.

Quick stuff (dook game)...

I also should say that I’m not solely blaming Hubert. This has been a failure from coach to the last man on the roster.

I’m probably being a bit reactionary to this game specifically. The reality is this team was at such a disadvantage compare to Duke’s size and length. But it’s disappointing it got to this point.

I personally don’t see anything changing. This team just doesn’t fit very well together and doesn’t have a ton of versatility. But they still have opportunities ahead of them so hopefully the find something over the next coming days.
I had zero confidence coming into this game and expected something like this was going to happen.
Today's game must be this team's line in the sand moment.
I think this team needs to win 8 out of their last 9 games to make the ncaat.
That is not impossible with how bad the ACC is this year.
Season begins next Sat with game 1 vs Pitt at home, then quick turnaround on Big Mon vs Clemson. Win these two games and then get on a little run before seeing Dook again to finish the season.
I know I have not seen much to be optimistic about thus far, but I just have a little feeling that Carolina is going to win the next 8 games.

That was a complete and thorough beat down. It's hard to lose to your rival by 17, and still come away, saying without a doubt, that it wasn't even that close. The length advantage of the dookies was glaring, especially on dee. Our guards were totally locked up, keeping RJ from looks, and EC had a really rough night at the office with 5 turnovers and only 3 assists, a couple others TO's that dook just fumbled out of bounds after the take away was made. Ian was locked up as well. Length at every position, had the handcuffs very tight on our guards.

They shot 50% from 3, got almost twice as many free throw attempts, went 21‐25 from there. Just a smack down all around.
