California vs Carolina game thread on: Wednesday 15 January 2025

The Cal Birds can score and they do have a elite shooter but like UNC they are not very good on the defensive side of the court and I feel this will be the difference in the game.

Recently I am sure everyone has noticed Carolina has only been using a eight man rotation with: Davis, Washington,Cadeau, Jackson and Powell starting with Trimble, Lubin and Withers coming in to give them a break but I do believe Tyson and Brown will get some playing time on the court tonight as well…

This is a Quad 3 game for UNC. We need to win by a large margin.

The Cal Birds

Birds ??? lol .. carry on ID 😉

 

[DaveChapelle]

Looks like TV Teddy is one of our refs

Yes I know they are the Golden Bears but they are not FLYING very well recently in the ACC so I felt birds was a better option to describe them…

If that is true expect another two and a half hour game because TV Teddy likes his time under the hot lights…

Then let's call 'em the Dodo's 😁

Go Heels !!

Would like to see Cade get some pt in this one. And EC remaining the primary ball handler.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Who will get the job of slowing Stojakovic down because he is leading the ACC in scoring. My guess would be Powell to open up on him and if he gets into foul trouble then Trimble will get his chance to make life miserable for the Cal sharpshooter…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Campbell scores after an offensive rebound but Washington short turn around inside lane but Blacksear a jumper matched by a Jackson BOOM and a Powell layup causing an early Cal timeout. 7-4

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau a driving layup 9-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin in and a awful bounce pass by Davis

 

[DaveChapelle]

Try to feel Lubin... turnover

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin a block and then Cadeau BOOM and a Jackson layup

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another awful turnover pass 14-6

 

[DaveChapelle]

Trimble replacing Powell at the 4 spot is not something I would have predicted before the season started.

 

[tarwhiz]

Cadeau ball movement has been impressive.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Campbell with his third basket matched by a Cadeau hoop then Lubin in close 18-10. Meanwhile Dort scores twice for the Bears in close. Trimble fouled as he goes strong to the hole right before the second tv break. Neither R J Davis or Stojakovic have scored yet…

Jackson has played him very well thus far

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble steps to the line and buries two 20-12

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble and Dort exchange hoops before a Withers dunk 24-14

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Petraitis 1 ft then Trimble down the lane scores 26-15

 

[sctarheel30]

Wonder if Tyson gets off the bench tonight? Maybe if a blowout?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Joseph with a three and Jackson a jumper 28-18

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers drives, Withers turns it over

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington is really getting pushed around

 

[DaveChapelle]

Wonder if Tyson gets off the bench tonight? Maybe if a blowout?

He's on the court right now

 

[sctarheel30]

Withers drives, Withers turns it over

Of course. Not sure why he spots up for the three like he’s RJbor somebody

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Joseph a nice base line drive and basket 0ver Washington then another offensive rebound and basket by Sissoko but Cadeau continuing his hot first half now with 9 points scores again…

 

[tarwhiz]

Cadeau has played so well for 50 plus minutes now. His pace tonight has been great

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

California is getting a bunch of points in close because they are posting up the smaller Carolina players

 

[sctarheel30]

Tyson sighting see if he can contribute

 

[tarwhiz]

Jwash has forced 2 travel violation and has a blocked shot

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington a short jumper in the lane 32-22

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Stojakovic in the scorebook now but Washington another jumper 34-24

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau a driving layup from the left 36-24

 

[DaveChapelle]

Keep shooting that midrange shot JWash

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Have not seen Powell in a while
