Carolina at NC State game thread on: Saturday 11 January 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Even if it is cold with snow and ice all around I fully expect it to be really hot in Raleigh this afternoon when the Tar Heels and the Wolfpack go after each other in this very important ACC BASKETBALL MATCH on Tobacco Road.

I am eager to see how Styles plays against his former teammates especially since he is having a breakout season for the Wuffies.

Both of these teams at this point of the season are playing under expectations so to me this is a pick em game with the difference maybe being the home crowd willing their team on…

A win away from home would be a bonus gift for me today as I celebrate my 6th anniversary with my wife Barbara who tied the knot with me in Jamaica where there is never cold and snow…

Give em HELL Heels…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hill with three chances scores 2-0

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington slam 2-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a layup 4-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hill a short jumper ties the game as State has 5 offensive rebounds already

 

[DaveChapelle]

Turnovers and misses rebounds

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hill another close in junper but Lubin responds as State is called for goal tending 6-6. May have to put Trimble on Hill who presently is embarrassing Cadeau in the paint

 

[tarwhiz]

Our pnr need to be below the 3pt arc so our 5 men don't have to dribble before finishing

 

[2DDIMOND]

Cadeau should have gotten an assist on the Lubin goal tend. Box score still shows he only has 2 on the first 2 baskets.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Stone hands Lubin blows the layup. Mises the free throw.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wonderful wrap around pass by Cadeau to Lubin who misses a bunny and then two free throws

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina cannot rebound but Davis from Powell for a layup and a Lubin scores in close 10-6

 

[DaveChapelle]

Bench Lubin plz

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hill a layup after a Lubin turnover but Davis hits a short jumper 12-8

 

[gberry78]

Lubin is gassed get him out

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hill another offensive rebound and basket as he has all 10 points for the State 12-10. Both teams are as cold as it is outside

 

[DaveChapelle]

Lubin is trying hard, but his hands are just awful. We'd be up 8 or 10 if he could just catch passes and finish open layups.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Lubin is Tired but that’s no excuse for those turnovers

 

[al would]

Nice to see EC actually getting a chance to be a pg .. to bad the shots aren't falling.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Lubin is trying hard, but his hands are just awful. We'd be up 8 or 10 if he could just catch passes and finish open layups.

His efficiency at doing that last year was at a high rate but not this year damn

 

[tarwhiz]

Cadeau should have gotten an assist on the Lubin goal tend. Box score still shows he only has 2 on the first 2 baskets.

Gary will fix that later tonight 😉

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

So far more blocked shots, offensive rebounds and turnovers than combined points

 

[al would]

just plum butt ugly bball so far

 

[DaveChapelle]

Awful start for Ian

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Get a jar of stick em out of the football locker room because everybody for Carolina cannot hold on to the ball. Middlebrooks a old type three point play puts NC State up 13-12

 

[DaveChapelle]

Styles missed every attempt he's made until we put Withers in the game. Styles just buried a jumpshot in Withers' face.

 

[UNC-75]

Refs letting this one get out of hand. I expect them to start calling some fouls. Otherwise this could get ugly.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Heels need to turn this into a basketball game they are not going to win at the hustle heart deal

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington a follow up hoop but Styles gets into the scorebook with a long jumper. A real low scoring contest as both team are putting currently on a exhibition of how not to play a clean basketball game with so many turnovers and missed shots from in close…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Styles a corner jumper then Powell BOOM 17-17

 

[DaveChapelle]

Styles cooking Withers

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Turnover city both ways

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau drives scores on a goal tending 19-17

 

[GoNtheDistance]

it would be nice to have guards who could
hit wide open 3’s consistently

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington short jumper with a assist to Cadeau 21-17

 

[al would]

This "everybody stand in a corner" offense is bs

 

[DaveChapelle]

Keep shooting that jumper Washington.

Also, as soon as we benched Withers and put Powell back on Styles, Styles shot a brick.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams taking a bunch of the shot clock before shooting

 

[DSouthr]

Jalen wih the jumper, thank you

 

[DaveChapelle]

This "everybody stand in a corner" offense is bs

We're screening and forcing them to switch very well.
