Carolina vs Notre Dame game thread 🧵Wednesday 22 Feb 2023

[Geth]

Hope they do well in the 2nd half... This team just isn't worth staying up late for. (I get up at 530). That said if we can't muster enough to beat this crap ND team, I'll officially admit we made the wrong coaching choice. I've not said that or even thought it until now. The ACC is mediocre this year and we're nowhere near the upper tier. A decent coach should be able to take this talent at least into the top 4 of this conference. I'm so glad I lived through and remember all the championships since 82'... Those days are long gone. Oh... and PLEASE tell Puff to stop shooting 3's his stroke is horrific.

this is embarrassing

Hammonds at the line drops two as Nickel comes in 25-17

 

[sctarheel30]

Down eight seems like 20

 

[WoadBlue]

Not so long ago, people here were wondering about UNC meeting UK in the NIT. Well, the Cats won again tonight. Unlike Davis, Caliperi is getting his team turned around.

Bets on whether we get to 20 before halftime......

 

[strummingram]

TYLER NICKEL IS IN THE GAME!!!

Thank GOD!

 

[gauchoheel]

Trimble in the game no Styles. looking at this is Hubert just banking on everybody coming back? Watching this offense and what's coming in next year. The only thing that will save him is the point guard. He is not building a cohesive team. Without deadly shooting this will be a repeat of this year. This is ridiculous.

Styles is gone. Hubert's not a fan of him clearly. Could be a couple other bench players gone too. And really, given they can't earn time with this group of starters it's unlikely to be a huge loss.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot two from the linev25-19

 

[Heelicious]

Love’s and our bigs space brain strategy: if we turn it over or commit offensive foul, it doesn’t harm our fg % !

 

[strummingram]

The offense is amazing

heave from 3... BRICK

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Zero assist but we only have 21 points so maybe that's not that hard to believe

 

[imajericho]

Woohoo we hit 20.

 

[tarheel1275]

18% first half shooting

 

[Travis2262]

19 points lol. Can this season just end already.

 

[heels05champs]

This team doesn’t even like each other and it’s obvious watching them play. And they don’t respect Hubert enough to even put forth a reasonable effort.

 

[Heelicious]

There have to be 3-400 high school teams in the nation that shoot better than this heels team. Seriously.

Is there a bottom to this team’s suckitude? It seems bottomless. How can it get any worse? Losing to a team who has mailed it in for the year?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hammond drives pass Nickel for bank shot after going zero for the first half Dunn hits a shot at the buzzer but it does not count 27-19

 

[gauchoheel]

Halftime stats:

5-28 from the field. 18%
0 assists
8 turnovers
Zero 3 pointers

We really gonna run the same five guys out there for 15+ minutes in the second half?

 

[xtarheelx]

19 lmao

 

[TarHeelFanJ]

0 assists in the 1st half, has that ever happened before?

 

[sctarheel30]

Bets on whether we get to 20 before halftime......

We did…..for a minute then no we didn’t par for the course

 

[heels05champs]

I sure am glad this staff scrapped a beautiful fast paced offense that Carolina successfully used for decades for this sorry garbage offense they’re trying to run.

 

[strummingram]

We really gonna run the same five guys out there for 15+ minutes in the second half?

He's going to run with them for the rest of the season

 

[sctarheel30]

Can’t believe pittpoker or whatever his name is hasn’t shown up yet

 

[strummingram]

Woohoo we hit 20.

They took away the last shot... 19 points

 

[DaSheed]

0 Assists
0-11 from 3-Point Range
Call it a season

 

[Spaceytoyz]

The Definition of insanity
Continuing to do the same thing over and over but expecting different results…

 

[TarHeelFanJ]

Bench the starters for the rest of the game. Play Trimble/Dunn/Nickel/Puff/Washington all 20 minutes idc

 

[strummingram]

When the season has hit rock-bottom-- Sunday

They find a new floor!

 

[sctarheel30]

Zero assists….man I bet Dean has once again rolled over in his grave

 

[strummingram]

Bench the starters for the rest of the game. Play Trimble/Dunn/Nickel/Puff/Washington all 20 minutes idc

I'm with you except

Play Armando. He is always giving it everything he has.

 

[sctarheel30]

For anyone who took the over man you better hope we shoot 90% in second half

 

[Spaceytoyz]

UNC: so far, 0 assets, 0 3-pointers, and playing no D on the perimeter.

It all has nothing to do with inferior coaching.

Disagree
It’s a flawed system and the players know it and know how it’s going to end

 

[sctarheel30]

Styles is gone. Hubert's not a fan of him clearly. Could be a couple other bench players gone too. And really, given they can't earn time with this group of starters it's unlikely to be a huge loss.

Sure styles won’t be the only one to go


Addition by subtraction with so of them

 

[Heelicious]

He's going to run with them for the rest of the season

I know hd is here for a couple more years at least. But tell me how he doesn’t have some major splaining to do this off-season.

Yes we suck rignt now (all year really) shooting. But the No assists, limited driving, PURE DOGSHIT offense )and maybe players not listening and doing what hd instructs) is 100% on HD. His coaching is nonexistent, in way over his head - not equipped to coach at this level at all - based on the factual evidence on the court

Platitudes and bs talk is cheap. HD has sucked at performance, strategy, team building, motivation, ALL YEAR.

Hard to imagine any person we could have gotten for this prime big time multi million $ / year job - doing worse than HD.

 

[Heelicious]

Disagree

I think he was being sarcastic. No assists no defense has a lot to do with coaching. Imo.

 

[sctarheel30]

To a certain degree I can’t say I’m shocked at all this team is really really bad regardless of what happens the rest of the season

 

[Tarheels39]

Well, the press conference should be interesting 😏. Hubert explaining how proud he is of the team and how humble he is to be their coach and all.

 

[gauchoheel]

I hope Puff, Dunn, Nickel, and Washington play minimum 10 minutes each in the 2nd half. Time to at least see what they can do.
