Carolina at Wake Forest game thread on: Tuesday 7 February 2023.

I am willing to bet you on that. Miami is much better than wake. They could beat UNC by 30+ if they don’t let up.
We've played a bunch of teams much better than Wake. Bama is #5 in Kenpom. UVA, IU, and Iowa State are all top 20. All of those games were much closer than this one. Acting as though this game is all that matters this season is, well, dumb.

This team has played so that Lunardi just said at the Half that if Wake goes on the win, he might drop UNC from a #9 seed to the bubble.

Gotcha.

But those decent efforts seem like a lifetime ago

. What do you see or predict that is going to snap this team out of the humiliating spectacular suckitude of: players who combo little talent and zero effort, along with a coach who looks and acts like a guy who’s never even watched a basketball game before, let alone play or coach one?

season aint over and this might be a NIT bubble team
 
I mean - I have to ask - how can it possibly get worse?
How can it get worse???

Well, if they lose to Clemson at home on Saturday, which is likely. And, I dunno if they will win many more games the way they are playing. These guys look lost. I dunno WTF happened, but they have totally checked-out.

Can someone in the know- unc 75, gary please explain why Caleb is still on the floor?
75 can't tell ya because he's a former player on the inside and can't divulge former player inside stuff

Finish the bb season like fb with a long losing streak

We're down 14 as I type, with RJ shooting horribly even on open 3s and 3-4 missed layups. We could easily be down single digits with a couple made shots, on the road. You'd think the sky is falling by some of these messages.

Nothing about this season makes me think the team is particularly good, and I don't expect them to play like a top 10 team this year. But we're not horrible, and I don't think we're going to get blown out much the rest of the way either.
 
cant wait to not listen to hubcap and the excuses in the presser
 
Let's remember, recruiting has been down the last few years. Instead of supplementing the Love/Davis class with other top players we've got Dunn, Styles, Washington, Trimble. These are projects who may be contributors as upperclassmen. There's nothing especially talented about this team by UNC standards; it's two five stars (Bacot and Caleb, the latter of which never panned out unfortunately outside a couple tournament games) and a bunch of guys.

RJ has overachieved his ranking but the rest of the team (minus Love) has done about what you'd expect. If Baylor had hit a couple more shots in the tourney last year and beat us nobody would be so shocked by this team's fate.

I saw the dook cheersheet on twitter last saturday, wanted to dismiss the gossip outright.. What do others think re: love/davis?
 
Things are beginning to look a little bleak right now but with Wake, Clemson and Miami next on the schedule Carolina has a excellent opportunity to make a bunch of noise and progress. My hope that last year’s disaster in Winston Salem does not show its ugly head again. Mansanto has been burning up the nets recently and with Appleby still playing at all ACC caliber clip Wake is loaded. Playing defense has not been UNC’s strong point this season but to win this battle away from home the defense needs to get energized and play like Miami did against Duke last night…

As important as this game to me as a fan is I can only hope the Tar Heels can pull this one out without my constant play by play and posting here. Today is my wife’s birthday and I am taking her to the Tanger Center in Greensboro to watch “River Dance” which is currently on tour in the States. Yes I have my priorities right and I know it. Thank goodness I can DVD the game…
Delete the game do t waste your time. Yes you have your priorities right.
 
Sorry but this is all on coaching or lack thereof. UNC is poorly coached. Those are just facts. You guys are gonna miss the Dance totally at this rate.

This is almost the most humiliating clueless no effort brain dead performance you’ll see on tv tonight.

Wrong thread?

if this team misses the dance, they should not accept a bid to the NIT and spend that time finding a new home for Caleb Love.
