Pinson did a HELL of a job slowing Bentil down. Another great move by coach last night.
yes he did, actually a lil surprised more are not talking about the great defense Theo put on display, kid was yet again OUTSTANDING!
IMO, Roy put on a coaching clinic last night and the Prov coach was just out matched. Putting Theo on Bentyl and then attacking Bentyl with the size of Issiah on the other end. Putting Justin's length on Dunn and making him work full court, guards taking away passing lanes from Dunn's drives, having our bigs rotate over for shot blocks. Prov goes to a full court press and we totally destroyed it for easy lay ups. Having Issiah attack Bentyl with 4 fouls by putting the ball on the floor from higher out than you typically see Issiah doing and attacking looking to hang him with that 5th foul. Pulling meeks and putting a lot of brice & issiah together and having them crash the boards for easy put backs or big time defensive rebounds, off side blocks, running Justin out to force defenders to chase on tired legs.
I mean hey, it was a clinc and it was a message for the rest of the field, UNC is not here to mess around, they are here on a mission. Put us in the tuff bracket, bury us on late night, have all the experts picking us to be the 1st 1 seed to be taken out, keep the fire on us, steel gets stronger the hotter the fire becomes.
I found it interesting, this game was on TBS for its 9:40 or so tip time, I guess so many folks nationwide had to get their fix of a crap sitcom marathon that they could not find a way to have a NCAAT game played at a reasonable time.
