Carolina at Notre Dame game thread—Saturday 4 January 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nobody know what Carolina team will show up in South Bend and being a early game I would not bet the house on either team since both of them are just playing average at best. Maybe having the 15 points and defense that Trimble provides will be the edge UNC needs to pull out the victory but that all depends if he gets the green light to play…

Trimble isn't playing. Whoever gave him the concussion in practice really hurt the whole team.

Trimble isn't playing. Whoever gave him the concussion in practice really hurt the whole team.

That’s awful news because other than Davis and Jackson nobody else is contributed points on a regular basis

 

[DaveChapelle]

ND is getting one of their best players back after missing 7 games, Markus Burton.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

ND slam after a Washington passing turnover 2-0

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington gets the rebound. But instead of attacking the rim, he throws it directly to ND to start their fast break

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Powell at the line hits just one 2-1

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau clobbered no foul called

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington's weak ass falls down and then trips a guy for his 1st foul.

Washington really isn't playing well

 

[DaveChapelle]

Jackson really screwed up there

 

[DSouthr]

Cadeau was not fouled???

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis for ND gets a steal then scores 4-1 but then Jackson BOOM 4-4

 

[DaveChapelle]

If ND keeps turning the ball over, we might win this.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Powell slam on a great pass from Davis countered by an Irish three 7-6. Carolina shooting a ton of threes so far. RJ Davis at the first tv break has not been able to get a look at the basket

That was a pretty pass from RJ and a big time finish by Drake.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson at the line drops two 8-7

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Claude puts in more effort than Lubin

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin a layup 10-9

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis finally gets a look and hits a short jumper but Shrewsberry a three followed by a Powell short bank shot from in close 14-12

 

[Spaceytoyz]

That last possession looked like a poorly coached team

 

[DaveChapelle]

As soon as Cadeau sits, our halfcourt offense stagnated.

With 8 seconds left on the shotclock, Davis passes to stone hands Lubin who immediately turns it over.

 

[DSouthr]

RJ the point guard...

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Carolina turnover as Lubin fumbles away a late entry pass and Burton is fouled at the second tv break. Very low scoring game in. Cadeau out allowing Davis to run the offense and Withers also enters the contest 14-12

 

[Spaceytoyz]

As soon as Cadeau sits, our halfcourt offense stagnated.

With 8 seconds left on the shotclock, Davis passes to stone hands Lubin who immediately turns it over.

Looked like Ian moved to the ball but Davis didn’t want to cough it up at about 15 seconds on the clock

 

[gkss]

Predictable result for that crappy offensive, what ever you call that! I won’t call it an offensive set, because that would be offensive to a good offensive set.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Ian Jackson is a star

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson a steal and a flush then Withers scores in close on another great entry pass and that is followed by a Jackson layup causing a Notre Dame time out 20-12

 

[gkss]

I love it when we’re active defensively and pushing tempo!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nije a nice hook but Jackson counters with a BOOM 23-14

 

[gkss]

Jackson hoopin!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson drives and it is show time as he scores and ft 26-14 and then he blocks shot

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers blows the wide open dunk

 

[TarHeelFanJ]

Withers misses a wide open dunk…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Allococo a long three and another three 26-20 then Withers blows a dunk after Cadeau set him up with a great bounce pass

 

[DSouthr]

Lubin couldn't flush that one, he was on the bench...

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Withers blows the wide open dunk

Not surprised

 

[RP12]

This is why plus minus is misleading…EC on the court with Tyson, JB, and Withers.

 

[gkss]

Great pass Cadeau! Tough miss by Weathers. He needed to two hand flush that- tried to get too fancy.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

In the last three or four games Captain Jack has really emerged as Carolina’s biggest scoring threat

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Playing Brown is important because we don’t know what he can or can’t do
