Carolina at Louisville game thread on: Wednesday 1 January 2025

[DaveChapelle]

Lubin absolutely useless on defense as usual.

Lobbing to Lubin's man is the easiest play our opponents get, and it's been like that all season.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I would put Weathers in at center to try and stop Scott because right now Scott is abusing both Washington and Lubin in the low blocks

Foul him he’s 1-6 from the line Hack a Scott

Withers is terrible too. All our bigs stink.

 

[notashelbyfan]

We are just bad.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Louisville is playing basically all portal players this group couldn’t have cost that much

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson one ft then Rooths a three and Rubin and Jackson score in the paint 51-44

 

[RP12]

Not a foul

Ball don’t lie

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Edwards over Cadeau in close then Powell from Jackson but White a scoop and basket 55-46

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson a short corner jumper 55-48

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Waterman and Powell exchange layups 57-50

 

[RP12]

It literally looks like offensive players are just deciding for themselves when they’re going to go one on one and shoot. Powell has done it twice immediately following Jackson scores.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Offensive rebound and basket for the cards 59-51

 

[Spaceytoyz]

It’s still baffling to me that every team we’ve played this year including Elon has had a better Center than we have

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Just not enough scorers on this year’s team. Really miss Trimbles 15 points per game.

Louisville boosters drop fat bags. How do you think they got Donovan Mitchell. Heck, do you remember the Samardo Samuels recruitment?

 

[Spaceytoyz]

When you deal exclusively with the portal you can hand pick veteran players and make sure they are the right height and that’s the difference in this game

 

[DaveChapelle]

Cadeau has 4 fouls.

Tyson commits a moronic foul.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Another dumb foul on Tyson. Holy cow he sucks.

 

[heels05champs]

Our free throw defense this year is the only good defense we seem to play.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cardinals should be up by 20 but they continue to miss from the line Lubin 22 fts 59-53

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis cannot at this point cannot put a beach ball in the ocean

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a driving basket and a ft 59-56

 

[heels05champs]

Davis cannot at this point cannot put a beach ball in the ocean

He’s still allowed to shoot anything he wants just as Caleb Love was.

 

[dtodd4475]

Finally attacking more. Ian/RJ

 

[DaveChapelle]

We could really use Seth right now. Defends without fouling, and finishes at the rim.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Another dumb foul on Tyson. Holy cow he sucks.

He has D2 athleticism and a D1 body

 

[DaveChapelle]

Finally attacking more. Ian/RJ

Ian has been attacking all game. He's missed a ton of layups and been called for 2 charges. For some reason he's not getting much love from the refs when he attacks.

 

[dtodd4475]

He’s still allowed to shoot anything he wants just as Caleb Love was.

He and Ian are the ONLY creators. Coming back with aggression.

 

[DaveChapelle]

He has D2 athleticism and a D1 body

So did Luke Maye. Maye had more strength and was tougher mentally.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Powell a basket on the break 59-58

 

[DaveChapelle]

Amazing d by RJ

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hepburn two more fts 61-58

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Capt Jack BOOM 61-61

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Card three then Withers and Hepburn exchange layups 66-63

 

[DaveChapelle]

Feels like we really missed a great opportunity with 3 straight bad defensive possessions.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Hepburn is the best player on the floor

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The amount of free throws taken by Louisville is the difference in this game

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Any reason we just don’t foul Scott and send him to the line ?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two more Cardinal fts 68-63
