[DaveChapelle]

Withers I swear if you miss another damn FT

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers back to the line says choke on this with 2 fts 77-69

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a quick one but Deng gets it right back 79-71

 

[DSouthr]

Gonna be a nail biter!

 

[DaveChapelle]

Probably need to stay in the zone the rest of the game

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a circus shot 81-71

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble coast to coast and a ft 84-71

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice defense Tar heels

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau BOOM from the corner quickly answered at the other end 87-74

 

[KeeLo]

Someone tell UNC that Tallahassee has Bojangles

 

[DaveChapelle]

Tyson has played pretty tough in the paint.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another FSU bomb 87-77 and a great time out by Coach Davis to settle the troops for the final three minutes

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Put the ball in RJ hands so that he can shoot free throws

 

[DaveChapelle]

Yes Seth!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble has been a beast going to the hole tonight as he scores again and a ft 90-77

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Deng hits his third three of the game 90-80

 

[DaveChapelle]

Lubin messes up on D. Wide open 3 for Deng.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin a tip in 92-80

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Watkins a long three 92-83 his first Fg of the half as Carolina has pretty much shut him
Down when it counted

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

FSU fouls the freshman Powell who misses the first and the second

 

[sctarheel30]

Lord these FTs

 

[DSouthr]

Cory's love fest with Hamilton is getting sickening.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Hope Powell comes back for another year. That FT shot, and really all of his offense, needs a lot of work.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

RJ the closer gets fouled and he also misses from the line but sinks the second 93-83

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis back to the line puts the nails in the coffin with two free throws 95-85

 

[DaveChapelle]

RJ got a block

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble’s time at the line and he also only gets one of two 96-85

 

[WoadBlue]

This team is now playing well across entire games.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The bench comes up big again and even though it was a tough night hitting free throws the team has won four straight and is playing its best basketball of the season

 

[DaveChapelle]

We definitely did not play well on defense tonight.

It got better when we went to the zone.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Coach Davis going zone was the key to the win as the Noles had trouble scoring in the paint once that happened

 

[DaveChapelle]

Coach Davis going zone was the key to the win as the Noles had trouble scoring in the paint once that happened

And specifically that Powell, Tyson, Washington lineup with the zone D

 

[dtodd4475]

For my money quite possibly the best performance of the year. Coaching staff pushed an awful lot of correct buttons tonight. Didn't shoot it great, but controlled that game.

 

[gberry78]

Looking at the box score.. statistically it was pretty even with FSU shooting better from 3 & the stripe but rebounding was the difference…

For my money quite possibly the best performance of the year. Coaching staff pushed an awful lot of correct buttons tonight. Didn't shoot it great, but controlled that game.

Didn’t shoot it great? 55% for the game, almost 40% from 3 & better than 70% from the line. Did I miss something?

Agree however that the staff pushed a lot of correct buttons.

For me we didn't shoot 3's well early at all, then struggled at the line late. Getting some really nice sets after half and on run outs early in the second half for dunks/layups was huge. We did score on drives well, especially late with them scrambling to catch up.

I do not think we shot the perimeter all that well, and adjusted well to work with it. Free throws good in 1st half, abysmal in the 2nd.
