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

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye has missed his last two 3's

 

[UNC&ME]

no need for stupid fouls Pinson

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson with a foul his second. 56-38

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Baldwin with a nice bank 56-40

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry a power move to the hole 58-40 with his left hand,,,under 16 minutes left to play

 

[Heelicious]

I want Berry to drive it every time down right now, but that's just me. What does he have to do to get a foul call on a drive?

 

[Littlejon]

I certainly hope we don't go back to jacking up 3's and let them get back into this game. Pound it inside and play to our strengths.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Butler one ft

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

LOVE LOVE LOVE beating Butler down court even on made shots.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks down low 60-41 then Baldwin down the lane, Jackson one on three is fouled. He gets one ft 61-43

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Berry coast to coast!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry coast to coast again 63-45 and a Jackson floater 65-45

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

How in the world Buckets can make the off balance, underhand fade away is beyond me!

 

[Heelicious]

OK - we haven't been killing it on offense, but Butler seems pretty demoralized. Not sure why we should run one set rest of the game that doesn't start with looking inside or driving inside first. We are bigger, stronger, faster, fresher, better

 

[UNC&ME]

important possession..12 and chg..our ball, then tv timeout looming at 12 minute mark..focus!

 

[Littlejon]

Playing about as good as anyone could expect right now. I just don't want them to get complacent or start doing something stupid to let them get back in it. Don't give them ANY hope at all. Keep running it down their throat and when they make a basket, run down and score before they can even think about it.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Chrabascz scores over Maye in the paint and a time out is called. The big man for Butler has a solid overall game. Martin the leading scorer for Butler this season so far has been shooting bricks against Jackson.65-47.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Woods and Bradley in the game as Hicks scores from in close but he misses anorthern ft 67-47

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Not liking the lineup on the floor right now. Where will the offense come from???

 

[UNC&ME]

freebies missed again..good catch by Hicks..Pinson another bad foul..keep clock moving

 

[Heelicious]

OK - nice assist by 7, but needless to say this is a pretty herky jerky lineup. Give the starters a couple more minutes rest, then get them back in to put this one out of reach. Or maybe some already think it is. I don't

 

[UNC&ME]

switch lineup after timeout...a little spurt..not many more timeouts for Butler..not surprising options either

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

After a long Britt miss Pinson over the back for his third foul. Under 12 to go. Hicks only starter presently in the game as Coach Williams using the TV break is giving Meeks, Berry, and Jackson a break to get ready for the stretch run.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Martin over Hicks from the corner

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

GET WOODS OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Martin drives and scores 67-51

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

How in the world did Bradley even get that one up?!?

 

[UNC&ME]

freee throws...6 pts at least

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bradley from Britt and UNC misses another ft.
.Leaving a lot of points

 

[Littlejon]

Alright, we can't let that crap happen. Got to put the hammer down NOW!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks number four 69-54

 

[UNC&ME]

and Hicks was 5 star?

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I tell ya what, Luke came to ball today!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye from Britt and Martin another three 71-57

 

[heels05champs]

Momentum is swinging. Roy better get off his hands and light a fire under their a$$ during this timeout.

 

[UNC&ME]

looking tired...fundamentals!...Britt one dribble to nowhere..soft with the ball..pitiful

 

[Littlejon]

Good grief, here we go again. Just when we have the chance to really put them down for the count, we let them get back in it. Stupid foul by Meeks.

 

[ChiShankCity]

This is Butler's last push probably. D up for a few possessions... Get the ball into the middle of their zone.

I'd rather have Pinson in against the zone. Britt is just a complete non factor against the zone since he can't hit shots and isn't strong with the ball.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Britt has the ball poked away and Meeks with a rebounding foul. Under 8 minutes to go. Hopefully all of those missed fts will not come back to bite Carolina in the backside. Butler forcing other UNC players to try and score other than Jackson and Berry.

 

[CarolinaMagic]

The basketball IQ of this team with a big lead is absolutely pathetic. With a 20 point lead lets jack quick bad shots and create more possessions,lets stop guarding the 3 point line and lets bring in a team of reserves and turn the ball over.
