Carolina vs Virginia Tech game thread on Tuesday 4 March 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

This has to be the game of the year because it is a must win for a UNC team who is still on life support and cannot make any mistakes with hopes of a March Madness invite squarely on the line.

Almost every expert I have listened to all say that Carolina must win tonight and beat someone talented like a Clemson next week in the ACC tournament.

Carolina has been getting some help from other teams on the bubble who are losing but I for one hope they get in on merit and not on the misfortune of other teams…

Lunardi has dropped UNC a spot after each of our last two wins. I hate that guy.

 

[al would]

not even televised on rectum expanded tier .. any other options?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Game is on ESPNU 370 in the Piedmont

 

[al would]

I don't subscribe to that tier .. it's not that important. I think I can watch it on the UNC sight through whatever affiliation they have with dizzny channel.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin from Cadeau 2-0

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hammonds a wide open three but Powell BOOM from Cadeau and then RJ BOOM and young hits two basket but RJ again BOOM 11-8

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two straight turnovers by Davis

 

[DaveChapelle]

I don't understand why Lubin came over to double the VT center. One easy pass and VT knocks down their first 3 of the game.

Also, by now RJ should know Lubin can't catch bounce passes that close. You gotta shoot the ball if you get that close.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Virginia Tech’s leading scorer and rebounder Tobi Lawal not available to play tonight due to a leg injury

 

[DaveChapelle]

Two straight turnovers by Davis

That whole possession looked bad. Withers decided to drive and almost turned it over. Then had to toss it out to RJ while dragging his pivot foot.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Virginia Tech’s leading scorer and rebounder Tobi Lawal not available to play tonight due to a leg injury

He also wasn't available in their last game, which they won.

 

[gkss]

I wish EC would come to the ball on that reset of the offense and there needs to be a pre determined offensive set for less than 10 on the shot clock.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wessler in close 11-10

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington with a rough start defensively

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble BOOM from the left corner after another Johnson three 14-13

 

[DaveChapelle]

If they aren't gonna call fouls, then we need to play tougher on D

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another turnover this one on Jackson

 

[DaveChapelle]

What a block by Trimble.

Washington barely draws iron on his brick.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble a monster block and then he scores over the seven footer Wessler. Virginia Tech getting way too many second shot opportunities

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington giving us nothing. Can't even grab rebounds that come right to him.

I think that's his 2nd foul. Should put his butt on the bench the rest of the first half. Give the other bigs a chance to play. Play someone who is going to give EFFORT tonight.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Virginia Tech getting way too many second shot opportunities

That's on Washington. That wasn't happening when Lubin and Withers were on the floor.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina to this point is playing down to its competition which is not a good sign

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson at the line hits two 16-15 but another Carolina bomb 19-15

 

[sctarheel30]

Other news baseball team still undefeated 5-4 win over coastal

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

stupid turnovers again

 

[sctarheel30]

Carolina to this point is playing down to its competition which is not a good sign

Yep

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Burham down low and Johnson scores again after another offensive rebound 19-19

 

[DaveChapelle]

My kingdom for a center who plays defense!

 

[gkss]

What’s up with the rebounding tonight?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin from Trimble scores in close 21-19

 

[DaveChapelle]

Only Lubin's hands could turn a putback dunk into an over the backboard turnover

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Burham a nice reverse layup 21-21

 

[sctarheel30]

EC stupid turnover

 

[Geth]

WTF Cadeau

 

[Archer2]

Oh no Cadeau. His 101st TO on the season.

 

[gkss]

EC stupid turnover

Yup- unfortunately

 

[DaveChapelle]

Cadeau tries to split the double team, refs don't call the fall, turnover happens, and Cadeau compounds it by committing his 2nd foul.

Just pathetic effort by UNC in the first half of a must win game.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I know Coach Davis will not use any cuss words in the locker but he may need to kick some chairs or turn over the Gatorade bottle to wake his team up who are showing no emotion and are playing like Virginia Tech should just roll over

 

[DaveChapelle]

What’s up with the rebounding tonight?

Ian Jackson was benched a couple minutes ago because he stood and watched a VT player grab an offensive rebound.

It's an effort issue.
