Clemson vs UNC game thread Wednesday 30 Dec

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Looks like ESPN is carrying this game and Clemson ' s long losing streak at Chapel Hill continues. Maybe it will end when our grandchildren ' s grandchildren grow up.
But don' t bet the house on that because it may even get longer...

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Start strong on both ends Heels and put this one away early. Don't give the kitties any glimmer of hope at breaking the streak.

king Kong is on their backs

 

[coryfly]

Well, this start sucks. Over three minutes in until we score.

 

[coryfly]

Good rebound from Hicks. James had a pretty terrible first few minutes and Roy pulled him quick.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson blocks a shot into the 7th row 6-4 for Clemson

 

[coryfly]

It was a hook but the foul was before the hook. Good call. Then a terrible foul by Paige. We don't need him getting unnecessary fouls.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Clemson is hacking away defensively but not getting away with it so far

 

[coryfly]

Berry has that little runner down pretty well.

 

[coryfly]

This team has not shown the effectiveness to play the halfcourt trap stuff IMO. It almost always leads to a good shot against a decent team.

Great ball movement there.

 

[coryfly]

Pinson has been terrible with the ball lately. Nice to see him knock that three down though.

 

[coryfly]

Even Brice is off right now.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

13-12 after a Pinson three with just over 11 minutes to go. Clemson wisely holding the ball for good shots and UNC is cold shooting the ball.

 

[coryfly]

Goodness, how did he make that three. Nate was all over him.

 

[coryfly]

I'm not sure what's up with this lineup.

 

[imajericho]

Oh god plz be ok berry

 

[coryfly]

Another ridiculous shot.

That was a terrible call. Hicks was hedging but didn't even move. Clemson dude just drove straight into him.

 

[berens007]

Two slop baskets for them at least now

 

[coryfly]

Another awful call as Blossomgame walks twice before the foul.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

21-17 in a very low scoring game. Berry leads the team with 8 but he is also now in the locker room. Hicks playing strong in the paint and he is looking to score.

 

[coryfly]

Nice push from Theo there.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

25-19 as Jackson comes in and scores twice within 30 seconds forcing the Tigers to call time

 

[coryfly]

Clemson is making shots they normally do not. We are missing some we normally make. I assume things will normalize at some point.

 

[coryfly]

Blossomgame is killing Brice. He's a good player.

 

[coryfly]

You can't call that walk on Brice if you refuse to call it on their big man.

Offense just isn't clicking right now.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

27-23 as Berry scores again but turnovers by Johnson and Hicks get us to the 4 minute tv break

 

[berens007]

Overall good d and they are making a ton of low percentage shots. Offense has been horrific

 

[coryfly]

Great drive by Jackson.

Another freaking lucky shot from Clemson as they bank in a three. UNC needs to get Brice going.

 

[HEELS1984]

They've made some really tough shots against us

 

[berens007]

The amount of trash falling for them is beyond belief - finally we get one on that and 1!

 

[coryfly]

That was a ridiculous moving screen by Clemson on that last missed three.

 

[berens007]

Big foul there

 

[coryfly]

Finally call some of that contact down low on what was probably not a foul.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The circus is in town as Paige scores falling out of bounds it should easily be on Sports Center top 10 highlights of the night. 37-26

 

[HEELS1984]

Dumb foul on Brice to end the half

 

[berens007]

what an idiotic foul - some how we manage again to let the other team score last - even when we have last possession - they are probably feeling great

 

[coryfly]

Seems like the end of every half is them scoring and us not scoring. Then Brice makes one of the dumbest plays we've seen all year and we end the half yet again in terrible fashion. Call a damn timeout and set something up. The one on one PG taking it hasn't worked one time.
