Carolina vs Virginia game thread on Saturday 24 Feb 2024

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I expect this game to be very similar to the Duke/Wake contest presently going on a very close and competitive battle that will go down to the wire.

I really do not care that the Tar Heels have not won up there in 13 years because these are different teams and this is a different year. I believe Carolina fully understands the overall importance of this game and the effort with a week off since they played last will make for win for the visitors…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

ESPN WILL NEVER switch games if Duke is involved

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Duke down 2 with 10 seconds left and turnover and Wake seals it with two free throws 83-79

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Wake did it's part, now let's get a little separation.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Now Carolina needs to take care of business thanks in part to the Wake win at home vs Duke

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Getting on a plane right at tip off time so I'll be interested to read the game thread to see how it went.

Go Heels!!!

 

[WoadBlue]

Dook lost at Wake, so now this team needs to play with no pressure and take care of business.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Bacot really engaged early. Cormac made a corner 3. Solid start.

UVA didnt do drop coverage on a Cadeau-Bacot ball screen and EC got a wide open layup on a switch. If that’s their strategy, do that all game.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Finally to the Carolina game and they are up 9-4 early

 

[ChiShankCity]

First media TO and Trimble and Withers in for Ryan and Cadeau.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams are really cold

 

[ChiShankCity]

First media TO and Trimble and Withers in for Ryan and Cadeau.

UNC’s shots following:
- Withers step back long 2
- Ingram fade away 2 off an iso post
- Trimble 911 drive into a black hole late shot clock

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers, Washington, and Trimble all decide to go YoLo.

We should have fed Bacot way more. Now he has 2 fouls.

But hey, Withers got a behind the back dribble jumpshot attempt.

 

[gauchoheel]

Bacot with a really dumb second foul. You can't play clean against Buchanan 1-on-1? Keep your hands up man.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Bacot shows frustration after picking up his first foul. Then commits a rather lazy 2nd foul. Need to be better.

Maybe UVA never makes a shot for the rest of the game though!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Boom by Ryan again 12-4

 

[gauchoheel]

Ingram post-ups so far: a tough shot (missed) and a turnover.

 

[RP12]

UNC’s shots following:
- Withers step back long 2
- Ingram fade away 2 off an iso post
- Trimble 911 drive into a black hole late shot clock

100% predictable

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two fouls on Bacot early so Washington will get a chance but Buchanan a dunk 12-6

 

[ChiShankCity]

These Ingram iso post ups suck. The entry passer either needs to be Ryan or RJ so the help defender can’t help off.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington is slow

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers in for Ingram

 

[RP12]

Must be nice for bigs to be able to defend without getting called

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau coast to coast after a Washington block 14-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington fouled by Buchanan at the tv break

 

[gteeitup]

Washington fouled by Buchanan at the tv break

god i wish he would play stronger…just go flush it.

 

[ChiShankCity]

On a positive the defense has been pretty solid. UVA has missed their share of shots that were decent looks, but defense has been solid without many breakdowns.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Did anyone else notice that Flipowski had to be helped off the a court at the end of the wake game when he got trampled by the happy Demon Deacon fans. His limp was very noticeable

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington at the line misses the first but drains the second 15-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan BOOM number three 18-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two Wahoo free throws 18-8

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dunn wrestles Ingram down to the court as he picks up foul number two

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan Boom From the top and that is his 4th from downtown 21-8

 

[Oak ridger]

1st to 50 wins !!

 

[DaveChapelle]

Good grief Jwash

When that Iowa girl player got freight trained by a fan I figured they’d crack down but they didn’t. They will now though. It was only a matter of time before a player got injured

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis fouled going strong from the baseline

Myers scores over High 21-10
