[DaveChapelle]

This game is over give Tyson and Brown some PT

Tyson has been sitting at the scorers table ready to check in.

Considering how he's struggled, it may be more beneficial to give Washington more minutes. Try to build his confidence.

 

[Archer2]

Five players in double figures, Lubin with his first double double and Cadeau with 10 assists.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Brown checks in and travels

[IDUNK4HEELS]

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hammond down the middle 85-54

 

[DaveChapelle]

Brown has given up 3 layups, and he just got rejected.

Tyson with with a tough rebound and made 3.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Brown really needed to redshirt this season.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Fifteen threes tonight- Save some of these bombs for Duke on Saturday

 

[Archer2]

Seven different Heels have hit a three, season high 15 made.

 

[DaveChapelle]

I guess I missed it, but social media is saying Hubert and Withers got into it when Hubert yanked him earlier in the game. Hubert was hot and Withers backtalked him

 

[KeeLo]

5th game in a row of 5+ players in double-figure scoring. Withers needs 5 more points to give the Heels 3 in a row of 6 players with 10+

 

[Archer2]

The score was 23-21 UNC at one point. Wowza!

 

[DaveChapelle]

Trimble is playing PG

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble scores in the paint 87-54

 

[Archer2]

The score was 23-21 UNC at one point. Wowza!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

[sctarheel30]

I guess I missed it, but social media is saying Hubert and Withers got into it when Hubert yanked him earlier in the game. Hubert was hot and Withers backtalked him

Saw them jawing at each other

 

[DaveChapelle]

Ridiculous 3pt shooting

Cadeau with 12 assists

Lubin with his first double double


I don't think RJ even attempted a shot in the 2nd half

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

A must win and a statement game.,15 for 28 from downtown…

 

[DSouthr]

Powerful win, may have been our best game this season. Last 10mins of first half and first ten of the second, really strong.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I have no idea what Coach Davis said to the team with 4 minutes left in the first half when the game was still close or what he said in the locker room between halves because whatever he said at both times needs to be bottled because the team exploded after both times….

[KeeLo]

Another game of phenomenal offensive stats.

• FG -> 59%
• 3FG -> 54% (!)
  • 3PT volume - accounted for half of the team's shots. But given the positive of the offensive stats, hard to argue against it.
• EFG -> 72% (!!!)
• TS% -> 72% (!!!)
• Only 12 FTA, but they made 10. Didn't watch the game, but not unusual to have a lower stat when 3PT volume is up
• Offensive Efficiency: Another game of 130+. Only ~ 68 possessions too.
  • 6-game avg of 133.7
• 5th game in a row of 5+ in double-figures
• A/TO ratio was 1.84/1. The first 25 games of the season it was 1.29. Over the last 6, the average is 1.67
  • Turnovers were high (13), but this just makes the offensive efficiency even-more astounding, especially given the average of 4 less possessions over the last 6 vs. the first 25
  • EC was 12/3
• 73% Assisted Field Goals
  • Highest metric of the season; only 7th time this year where it has been above 60%. First since the Wake game (??? true though)
• 46 (!!!) bench points - highest of the season (did IJ come off the bench?)

Rebounds

• Another 10+ rebound margin game (5 games in a row). Is Roy wearing a Hubert Davis mask?
  • Also will mention that because of their FG metrics, there were naturally less opportunities for offensive rebounds.
• Another game where they grabbed 54% + of all rebound opportunities
  • 5 in a row now of that too. Prior to, the most consecutive games in a row where they were 50+% was 3.

Defense

• Defensive Efficiency metric of 88. Lowest allowed since the GaTech game
• 10 steals. Most since game vs. Florida
• Held VT to 41% on 2FG.

 

[KeeLo]

At the 3:29 mark of the first half, it was 31-27.

I counted ~ 42 possessions in the play-by-play in the span of the last 23:29 of the game. UNC outscored VT 60-31.
For that span of time, that would yield an offensive efficiency rating (pts per 100 possessions) of 142.9
