3 Things From UNC's Loss At Duke
DURHAM, NC – Jacob and AJ talk 3 Things from UNC's 87-70 loss at Duke on Saturday night.
But we don't have NIL money, more like we don't have anyone smart enough to know how to use it.I just want to shout out this guy. Getting paid $700k to hit the side of the backboard on almost all his 3 ball attempts. That is incredibly hard to do guys.
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.Hubert’s had some galaxy brain strategies in some of the biggest games this season that probably put his team at a significant disadvantage.
Deciding to play drop coverage and going under ball screens against Alabama was certainly a choice.
And while Powell isn’t in the same class as Flagg, that’s probably a better matchup than the 4 guards. I also thought doubling Flagg was a weird choice. That guy is the most skilled wing/big in the country.
Just some odd decisions all season. I don’t take any of the second half stuff with any significance. That’s benefit of the doubt this team hasn’t earned all season.
I also barfed at Cadeau attempting a 15 foot left handed bounce pass off the dribble on Seth’s backdoor dive from the strongside corner. The decision to make that pass was bad. Seth also has 0 shot credibility. Run that action to someone who can actually shoot the basketball. It was really early but that play stuck with me for some reason.
FWIW, Coach Davis was already employed by UNC, and has been for almost 13 years now.Hd was a dei hire. We get what we get
Of course you don't. And for the record, that pass was a called timing play we have run successfully this season. The fact Flagg just opened up and waited for it should have been the first indication they were anticipating our plays.I don’t take any of the second half stuff with any significance. That’s benefit of the doubt this team hasn’t earned all season.
