Butler vs UNC----SWEET 16 GAME THREAD---FRIDAY 24 March 2016

[Heelicious]

Come on Theo. Every shot on the court is better than a three from you. Quit shooting unless its right at the rim. Those are like turnovers.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Great 1st half so far. Finish it strong, then come out in the 2nd half and put this one away in the first 5 minutes!!!

 

[alabamaheel]

Maye another three 47-32

Even in the bright lights baby. Cream coming to the TOP!!!

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I'm fully on board with Luke starting at the 4 next year.

 

[Heelicious]

Holla out
Luuuukkkkkeeee!!!!!!!

Look at his first half stat line. Crazy

 

[alabamaheel]

Even in the bright lights baby. Cream coming to the TOP!!!

and LOL that was no pun intended

 

[UNC&ME]

if we take good shots that won't lead a Butler fast break ..good

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson fouled going up under three to go. The so called wasted scholarship Maye having a big time game on both ends of the court. Double digits in points and at least 5 rebounds. Coach Williams has wisely shorten the bench playing tonight with only Maye getting serious pt.

 

[All_Heel]

Go Skywalker, go.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Maye with almost a double double in the first half and even Britt is knocking down threes.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson 2 free throws 49-32 then Britt a three 52-32

 

[UNC&ME]

why hurry now--18 pt lead

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Butler missing some open shots

 

[Heelicious]

Let's not F this up. We should go into half up by 18-21 IMO.

 

[UNC&ME]

42 ticks make them work!!...they must use energy to catch up..tired legs/missed 3's, their strength

 

[strummingram]

all good except for too many fouls

 

[UNC&ME]

all fouls on bigs--unnecessary

 

[CarolinaMagic]

Shot selection the last 2 minutes was brutal. All we did is jack 3 pointers.

 

[UNC&ME]

no brains to figure out- Butler going after Hicks..Meeks...fouls score while clock stopped..pace of 2nd half key..wear them down

 

[Heelicious]

Shot selection the last 2 minutes was brutal. All we did is jack 3 pointers.

Right. If we work inside, we should win. Jacking 3's puts them back in it. The 3's should be from inside out.

 

[UNC&ME]

hahah..8-17 from 3...are u jealous dook?

 

[alabamaheel]

hahah..8-17 from 3...are u jealous dook?

Yes because they would take 0-17 just to be playing right now

 

[CrazyHeel]

Hopefully we sustain this lead and get Berry some rest.

 

[UNC&ME]

at some point they will play zone-what ever happened to back screen/lob pass to Hicks

 

[Heelicious]

at some point they will play zone-what ever happened to back screen/lob pass to Hicks

and Berry and JJ s/b able to slice and dice the zone. Don't settle for 3's. Thats what they want to give you

 

[heels05champs]

hahah..8-17 from 3...are u jealous dook?

I think we all know we won't shoot the 3 that good in the second half. Need to pound it inside.

 

[UNC-75]

Lots of folks with 2 fouls. We are going to use lots of players tonight. Good thing we don't have a weak bench like Duke.

 

[UNC&ME]

at least pass inside..make them defend and use energy..no need for knockout punch first 4 minutes..pound the body the head will follow

 

[UNC&ME]

feels good to not be nervous whole game!...

 

[UNC-75]

Just saying, that end of first half time out lost 4 points. Why we didn't go for a 2-1 baffles me.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks foul number two allows Butler 2 free throws and after a long Berry miss UNC up by 16 at half. 52-36..
II really don't know if UNC can shoot any better than they did in the first half..

 

[bluesome]

Maye the force be with them the second half

 

[Heeelz46]

Pound them inside to come out in second half.. put them away.

 

[Littlejon]

CANNOT let up in the second half. Butler won't continue to shoot blanks, so we have to be ready and keep that foot on the pedal.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Pinson turnover then a Hicks a short bank 54-36

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks on the line hits one 55-36

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks anorthern lazy foul

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Chrabascz 2 fts

 

[alabamaheel]

That foul was crap. I know he fouls a lot but man

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks fouled by Woodson...on the line hits one
