Carolina at Louisville game thread on: Wednesday 1 January 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The real season starts tonight as we find out if all of those early games against top ten teams will give Carolina the confidence they need to win a tough ACC contest away from the Dean Dome…Secondly will the four guard offense be the key thing to victory or the reason for the loss. Thirdly will Capt Jack continue to emerge as a big time scorer? These questions and more will be answered very soon…

 

[DaveChapelle]

Trimble is out again with an "upper body injury."

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

This might end up being a three point shooting contest as the Cardinals are averaging shooting over 32 trey attempts per contest. stopping three point shooters has been a major problem for UNC this season and with Trimble out it will definitely be a problem…

Be surprised if UL relies on the 3 since they don't shoot it that well from 3 but UNC don't defend the 3. They should be able to dominate inside from what little I've seen. GO HEELS !!!

Louisville averages 32.5 3pt attempts, which is 4th most in the country

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Starters are: Cadeau, Jackson, Davis, Powell and Washington

 

[dtodd4475]

The 'Ville are guard orientated, but in my opinion we have to deal with the size.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Waterman a back door dunk but Washington hits a short bank in close 2-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Waterman a corner three 5-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another back door for the Cards but Powell a drive and hoop 7-4

 

[dtodd4475]

Getting great looks early.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson scores on the break 7-6 at the first tv break

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin in for Washington

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin at the line hits one of two 7-7

 

[DaveChapelle]

We really miss Trimble.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Tyson checks in, immediately gets blown by for an and-one.

 

[dtodd4475]

Cade Tyson couldn't guard me. That was horrible.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Tv Ted Valentine one of the refs tonight. We are so screwed, Hepbun 2 fts and then Smith scores on a goal tending call on Powell and a ft 12-7

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Captain Jack BOOM from the top then Powell a short jumper 12-12

 

[dtodd4475]

We need something out of Elliot. They are face guarding RJ. Create

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams have lids on the baskets they are shooting at

 

[DaveChapelle]

Cade Tyson couldn't guard me. That was horrible.

With Trimble out, Tyson is going to play more. It sucks.

Does Trimble have a concussion?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

It would be nice if Cadeau would drive and try and score or pass off to a teammate for a easy score

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

With Trimble out, Tyson is going to play more. It sucks.

Does Trimble have a concussion?

Upper body injury he got in practice

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Claude now in as Hadley goes to the stripe and buries two 14-12

 

[DaveChapelle]

Claude needs to sit ASAP

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Tyson from Davis BOOM but Hadley a layup 16-15

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Smith a long three 21-15

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers still stinks

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington scores again and a ft 21-18

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Neither Davis or Cadeau have scored yet

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Smith snother three followed Cadeau layup 24-20

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Having no points from Davis I am surprised the score is still fairly close

 

[heels05champs]

This team just isn’t much fun to watch. What do we even do well? And what are we even trying to do on offense?

 

[DaveChapelle]

2nd foul on Ian Jackson. That's a big problem with no Trimble.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Scott fouled on a alley oop and at the line he misses hoth

 

[gberry78]

Just make some shots

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Scoot a easy dunk 26-20

 

[al would]

[DaveChapelle]

Washington abused on both ends of the floor
