If Powell and Ian try to go pro hope they like learning a new eastern European language every year as they aren't even close to even G League level.

serious post, carolina being down by 20 is an absolute embarrassment, down flagg/insert player or not…this is not 2002 or whatever year that was, but even then, ffs.
to have a shot to a win a game because of that and to close out in that manner, where are we?…im embarrassed.

It is embarrassing.. I just tell myself Dook has I think 10 burger boys & Unc has 4.. recruiting has been a struggle for years now & Talent & size win
What happened?!.....
I took a drink every time dspn said or showed Flagg and passed out 6 minutes in.
Did we win? My head hurts.

We started balling, and EC became a stud! We couldn't hit a 3, so we stopped shooting them. We had them, and then------------! We lost
Are the Tar Heels a football school now? Read an article saying that the money will be spent on football and no more basketball banners will be hung from the rafters. I have faith in Jim Tanner, to hit the portal hard and bring glory back to UNC basketball.
Football schools create basketball schools in this day and age. Sucks but if the football team becomes a powerhouse we will be swimming in money. See Auburn, Bama, Florida, etc
Everything is in the hands of our new front office. If we have sufficient NIL funds and they get good portal players, we can be back on top next season. The key is to build a balanced team.
Last night we saw how good Cadeau could be. He was attacking the basket, hitting 3s, and he spoon fed Lubin about 20 points. Keeping him should be the priority (especially since all signs point to Caleb Wilson decommitting if Cadeau transfers.)
Good players want to play with a pass first point guard. It will be much easier to build next year's team if Cadeau is in the fold. And if he can create that many points for an undersized center with bad hands (Lubin,) imagine what he could do with a legitimate tall starting center from the portal.
I admit I’m more a pessimist about this team and where the program is out.
If this were a typical UNC team and Duke was missing its best player who happened to be the best or second best player in the country, we here would all expect a win and some would expect a convincing one.
I think if this becomes a moral victory season, then it tells you all you need to know about this season’s expectations.
Again, I’m a bit more pessimistic about this group but I was more disappointed that they got clowned for 20 minutes than I was happy about the comeback. Good for them for giving themselves a chance to win. But that’s how I see it.
If your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle. Almost counts in horseshoes
If we dont make the tourney, Withers singlehandedly ended both of his years with the dumbest moves he could make. Last year, a stupid 3 point shot for zero reason when we were up by 1 then fouls a bama player on a layup. Low basketball IQ.
You may be right, but I think a year in the G League would ready them for NBA play. If not, they'll still be making good money playing a game.
I just posted this in another thread, but I don't think the G-League money is as good as people think, especially with NIL running rampant. Harrison Ingram could have easily made $1 to $2 million at Carolina last year as the face of our program. Instead, he is making $578,577 a year in the g League.
I would recommend staying in school and soaking in that NIL money while you work on your game.
Keep your advice in mind when UNC does not bow to basketball 'needs' for the first time since the hiring of Frank McGuire.
I doubt we'd be worrying about making the NCAAT if Ingram had returned.
It would be interesting to know if we wouldn't pony up more money . . . or if Harrison was so eager to go that money wasn't the issue.
It's also possible that he looked at our roster and figured he wouldn't improve his NBA odds by delaying.
