Carolina vs Syracuse game thread on Saturday 15 February 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Just now I got home from a pleasant week at Myrtle Beach where we had no rain and temps in the 60’s all week. Hopefully Carolina will not be as cold as it is here in the Triad because they already are on life support.

A couple questions to ponder before tip off in 20 minutes. Number one “will there be a new starting lineup? Number two, will Capt Jack get out of his funk that happened coincidentally when Trimble was healthy to play again? Number three will the team play like they know they are on life support and get behind big again or just play out the strong? Number four can one or two of the players step up and take a verbal leadership and lead by example? Lastly can Coach Davis even though it is not his personality to yell at players get on em to show what it means to wear a Carolina jersey…

We need all of these questions to be answered by the players and coach on the floor

unless the game is going to be on a different channel there is no way that it will be shown on ESPN at the scheduled time of 6 pm because the monster contest between Auburn and Alabama still has over 11 minutes to go

This is now the norm for this years "team" .. and we deserve it tbh .

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Looks like the contest will start on ESPN NEWS

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Can Carolina win on road?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers, Lubin, Cadeau, Trimble and Davis starters

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers, Lubin, Cadeau, Trimble and Davis are the starters for the second straight game

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau a tough drive and score 2-0

 

[DaveChapelle]

3 post feeds = 2 missed shots and a turnover

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lampkin scores over Lubin 2-2

 

[DaveChapelle]

Trimble and Withers blow easy buckets

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau at the line drops a couple 4-2 and Washington comes in. Carolina is going to press defensively

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington two monster blocks

 

[sctarheel30]

On a blazing pace here

 

[sctarheel30]

Two fouls on starling for the cuse that’s big

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

One for eight so far and Davis scores for the Cuse in close 4-4. I really like that Carolina has come out in a full court press

 

[DaveChapelle]

I'll never understand why Trimble and Tokoto always try to avoid contact at the rim. 6 years total of those brothers in a UNC uniform, and they would rather hang in the air and try a tough layup. Just try to dunk everything and get to the damn FT line.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington at the stripe sinks one 5-4

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Capt Jack BOOM 8-4

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lampkin a easy one in the paint 8-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lampkin a easy drive as Carolina continues to make unforced turnovers 8-8

 

[DaveChapelle]

Powell with a wide open shot and throws it to Washington on the baseline, where Washington promptly throws it away

 

[sctarheel30]

Averaging about a point a min so a 45 to 43 game is about right

 

[DaveChapelle]

Ian playing hard

 

[tarwhiz]

Jackson seems much more engaged

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson a steal and a flush then Washington BOOM from the top 13-8

 

[DaveChapelle]

Trimble blows a short shot in the paint, misses the rebound, hangs his head, and is the last guy up the floor.

Ian Jackson has to take a foul to stop Syracuse's 5 on 4 advantage. All because of Trimble.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Good point about that because they both have serious hops

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

McLean scores in close but Lubin gets that one back 15-10

 

[DaveChapelle]

WTF are you doing Trimble

3 on 1!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina Blows a three on one break

 

[sctarheel30]

3 on 1 break and no points

 

[DaveChapelle]

Get Lubin and Trimble off the floor

 

[DaveChapelle]

Carolina Blows a three on one break

Trimble blew it

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

another offensive rebound and Cuse scores four straight but again Lubin gets it back. Jackson at the line misses both 17-14

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis for Cuse a tip in and Cadeau now has three turnovers 17-16

 

[sctarheel30]

First one to fifty wins

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson with a tip in 19-16 and he looks so much different than he has been recently

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

RJ has yet to score and both of his three point attempts were ugly

 

[DaveChapelle]

STUPID 2nd foul on Cadeau
