Alabama vs Carolina sweet 16 game thread on Thursday 28 March 2024 in LA

[sctarheel30]

I have no idea why Trimble and ec had no run.

Question of the night

 

[sctarheel30]

Hubert WTF!!

 

[strummingram]

We just can't survive an off night from RJ. Is what it is. It was bound to catch up with us this game.

RJ did enough


Withers raw-dogged the team with that wacky ass 3 point attempt and then a foul and-1

 

[sctarheel30]

Prob cadeau’s last game too

 

[tarheel1275]

Thanks Hubert you stupid F….

 

[sctarheel30]

F

Nelson misses the first and the second but Bama still wins in a thriller 89-87.

 

[Littlejon]

Well, I hate this, but it’s been a good year overall. All losses are tough and this one will sting for a while, but I sure am glad we got to see Bacot and RJ as long as we did. I won’t get over this one anytime soon, but I tip my hat to Alabama. They played a great game and deserved the win.

 

[DSouthr]

Seth and Cadeau, are they hurt? I have to find a reason I saw Paxon so much in that second half?

 

[sctarheel30]

Unbelievable and no excuses for this

 

[NathanFielder]

Damn, what a shame. RJ had his worst game of the season. Hubert coached his worst game of the season.

Bacot’s missed dunk was huge.

 

[RP12]

I love RJ but hope he moves on. It’s time.

 

[sctarheel30]

Seth and Cadeau, are they hurt? I have to find a reason I saw Paxon so much in that second half?

And withers at crunch time

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Great season but it is too bad it was Bacot’s last game and R J could not put a beach ball in the ocean

 

[heels05champs]

I don't think RJ took any bad 3's tonight. He was our most reliable shooter all year. His drives and FT's kept us in this game.
Dean Smith couldn't rein in Calabria or Shammond Williams?

Shooting 4/18 or whatever and 0/9 didn’t keep us in the game. Quite the opposite. He would’ve been more valuable just being a decoy on an off night like this.

 

[Rabidfrog]

Great season everyone
RJ going 0-everything hurts after the season he had…
Second guessing HD will occur, but if RJ just has a bad game and not “worst game of the season” we win by double digits… sigh

 

[sctarheel30]

I love RJ but hope he moves on. It’s time.

Hmmm really? If it’s not to the nba then I say here just gotta keep some help

 

[Heelicious]

Seth and Cadeau, are they hurt? I have to find a reason I saw Paxon so much in that second half?

Withers too. Insane. Shit coaching. No better way to put it.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Remember Bacon's missed dunk, that led to a quick Bama run down the court for a bucket.

THIS!

I hope we get a 5 out of the portal who can dunk?

 

[GoNtheDistance]

we didn’t play our best game but my goodness Hubert was awful. we play Wojcik major minutes while Tremble and EC rot on the bench after playing fairly well. Then we have Withers in there taking early shot clock 3’s late in the game while up 1. just bad bad bad game management by Hubert.

 

[Grayhead]

Now watch dook or moo win it all

 

[Hatchets7times]

Had one cat..Withers playing hero ball..
That's from a distance here in Indiana...

 

[pittsburghheel]

We are the first #1 to fall.
Most of you guys close to 50 years old are not new to Sweet 16 losses to lower seeds. It just sucks.

 

[gkss]

Can someone explain the bizarre rotations?

 

[Canadian_Heel]

Cadeau and Trimble getting no run in the 2nd half makes no sense.

 

[JDisaheelfan]

Thanks Mando!

Sorry RJ and Hubert had their worst nights of the year and let you down.

 

[RP12]

Hmmm really? If it’s not to the nba then I say here just gotta keep some help

The team and the coach need to know who the PG is. Best shot for RJ to get going was off the ball not dribbling around to try to find a shot for 10 minutes.

 

[gberry78]

Who could have ever thought that both Love and Rj go 0-9 from 3 in what could be there final college games

 

[sctarheel30]

Can someone explain the bizarre rotations?

Nope no idea. Hubert had money on it??

 

[Lewis&Miller]

Everyone that said Alabama plays no defense, RJ begs to differ....

 

[pittsburghheel]

Who could have ever thought that both Love and Rj go 0-9 from 3 in what could be there final college games

Rumors say they've shared a lot more in common.
It's sickeningly fitting it happened on the same night on the same floor. Just brutal.

 

[JDisaheelfan]

You recruit a PG like EC to be a PG.

And then don’t play him the last 16 mins?

 

[RP12]

Who could have ever thought that both Love and Rj go 0-9 from 3 in what could be there final college games

It’s kind of fitting. We have struggled to find leadership with this core group. Best leaders were transfers in Ingram and Manek you could argue.

 

[Heelicious]

The team and the coach need to know who the PG is. Best shot for RJ to get going was off the ball not dribbling around to try to find a shot for 10 minutes.

This. And if we had ec in the game I think he could hear and understand how to get the ball to bacot and hi on the block. It’d be nice if Bacot didn’t turn over or miss a half dozen layups / dunks.

 

[sctarheel30]

Now watch dook or moo win it all

Oh no doubt

 

[NathanFielder]

we didn’t play our best game but my goodness Hubert was awful. we play Wojcik major minutes while Tremble and EC rot on the bench after playing fairly well. Then we have Withers in there taking early shot clock 3’s late in the game while up 1. just bad bad bad game management by Hubert.

It was so weird. I thought Hubert managed the rotation great all year. Seth gets 15, Withers gets 12, Washington gets 6-8, Wojcik gets 3’ish at the end of the first half.

And so many people were complaining he didn’t play his bench enough. Then he goes YOLO tonight and plays Wojcik 15.

And I thought Wojcik did a good job actually. I’m just confused why Cadeau got less minutes than Wojcik. Even if you want a bigger guard so you can switch on screens better.

Go down with your 5 best!

 

[heels05champs]

RJ is not a pg and everyone can see it except Hubert. There is no excuse for our true pg being benched while RJ pounds the air out of the ball.

 

[RP12]

Bold prediction-Clemson is the last ACC team standing 24 hours from now. I hope so anyway.

 

[sctarheel30]

You recruit a PG like EC to be a PG.

And then don’t play him the last 16 mins?

Head scratcher huh?? Still trying to understand withers being in that late in the game too

 

[KinstonNC]

All this Hubert needs to be fired bs is stupid on steroids! Yeah we missed a dunk at the end and that Withers shot, well that was horrible, but besides that it was a fantastic game that we just happen to lose. Nothing more nothing less yet you bunch of asshole want Hubert fired? SMH. And someone even said RJ needs to go! Damn! Y’all fans are fup in the head for that shidd.

Nice year Coach looking forward to 2024!
