California vs Carolina game thread on: Wednesday 15 January 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Now he is in after the timeout

 

[dtodd4475]

Cal is just triple dog daring Elliot and Jalen to shoot. Keep taking the looks. Their game plan is to stay at home on RJ and Ian, but my gosh in the paint 10 foot and in looks, I'll take every time.

RJ and Ian still getting looks as well. Should score all night.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Sissoko another layup 36-26

 

[DaveChapelle]

Cal getting all the offensive boards

 

[tarwhiz]

Have not seen Powell in a while

He got yanked by a pissed Hubert for not blocking out

 

[DaveChapelle]

Put Cadeau back in

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two straight turnovers against the cal zone

 

[DaveChapelle]

Cal only has 1 foul?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina is cold as it is outside, brrrrrr

 

[DaveChapelle]

No Tar Heels getting on the floor. SMH

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Joseph a layup and a ft 36-29

 

[DaveChapelle]

Did the ref interfere with Trimble's fast break opportunity?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Finally Davis BOOM 39-29 at the half as both teams just suck from long range tonight.

 

[DaveChapelle]

I rewatched it. The ref didn't get out of the way and his back foot kicked the ball out of bounds after Trimble dribbled.

 

[sctarheel30]

Cal only has 1 foul?

Wow

 

[dtodd4475]

Big unathletic centers from Cal are the only thing keeping them from being down 20. Getting 2nd and 3rd attempts just muscling and hustling.

Big unathletic centers from Cal are the only thing keeping them from being down 20. Getting 2nd and 3rd attempts just muscling and hustling.

Their starting center has been pushing Washington all over the place. That's why JWash hitting those jumpers is so helpful. Pull that big dude away from the basket.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

So far Jackson and company have kept Stojakovic under control but the Cal Bears bigs are scoring at will in the paint as they smartly continue to post up the smaller UNC defenders…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another offensive rebound and score for Cal 39-31

 

[sctarheel30]

Cadeau dumb pass

 

[DaveChapelle]

Bad start to the 2nd half

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Cadeau turnover leads to free throws

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington blows the layup

 

[sctarheel30]

Missed layup by Washington

 

[DaveChapelle]

Time to sit JWash.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Missed layup by Washington

And missed rebounds and a bad double team

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dunk by the beats but Davis on a floater and Sissoko on close scores and he has 12. Jackson to the line on a rare California foul and he gets both 43-35

 

[notashelbyfan]

Not our best start to a half. Cadeau 3 fouls because he didn't just get out of the way and give the guy a layup after making a bad pass.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Lubin immediately comes in and gives us a boost by use his strength to defend Sissoko and grabbing a dang rebound.

You really never know which of our centers is going to help us game to game.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Powell brings the rain BOOM 46-35 at the first tv timeout. The big question especially with with TV Teddy calling the game and all of the giant Cal Bears in the lane why are no fouls being called on the west coast team from Berkeley.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Are these refs going to call some Cal fouls

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Sissoko jam but Jackson drives and scores 48-37

 

[sctarheel30]

12 reminds me of the fat kid from moo last year. Not very fluid but effective

 

[sctarheel30]

How do we lose him in the paint

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Sissoko another open dunk but Lubin scores two straight hoops 52-39

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers BOOM from the corner and Davis gets another assist 55-39

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers gives us a 3, and then immediately commits a dumb foul on the next possession

 

[notashelbyfan]

Our defense has been really good tonight

 

[DaveChapelle]

Powell needs to dunk that instead of trying to close quarters pass to Lubin.

 

[al would]

Hubcaps player use is absolutely baffling. wtf is he thinking leaving wash on the bench and giving VAL all the minutes?
