Time to get serious and focused...Already has been 2 major upsets today so Carolina cannot take Harvard for granted. Win and move on. One game at a time...
Dance time UNC vs Harvard game thread--Thursday 19 March2015

I am no defensive genius by any streth, but why would you run man against a team that slows it down? Your just wearing guys out. We dominate in every position. Just run a zone. Maybe I had too much vodka already. But it seems a no brainer to me. Anyway GO HEELS!!!!!!!!
Kinda sloppy the last few trips up and down, but our talent is over matching them right now. I expect them to hang tough so we have to be smart and keep the pressure on them defensively. They want us to chase them so I expect some smaller lineups before the night is done.
They are hitting some rainbows right now. Dang.
10-7 heels

10-7 heels
James a short jumper and Paige with a three 15-7 undet 12 to go. Harvard trying to stretch Carolina on defense and then use ad much of the clockcas possible
7-0 run stretches the lead to 15-7. Roy puts Tokoto on the only guy for them to hit anything and the rest of the team can't throw it in the ocean. If we can shut him down then we can do some serious damage, especially is Marcus hits some more threes like that last one!
Agree on the zone, but with the chance that one guy could get hot I am not so sure a box and 1 wouldn't be better with JP shutting Saunders down.

Tokoto hits Meeks on a fly pattern for a basket and the Berry goes to the hole and Harvard calls a quick time out.
This is just a terrible match up for Harvard. They're probably going to take and have to make a ton of long jumpers to win, but if they don't hit them at a high rate, that will lead to run outs for us. This is Harvard's worst nightmare.
Jackson Simmons at the scorer's table.... I don;t think now is the time to send messages after a bad Meeks pass to Johnson.
We were rolling.... We had a chance to get this thing to 15 pts by half.... Then Roy brings in Britt, Simmons and James. I just don't get it. Now we have a ballgame.
Just. Dang.
Why in the heck would Brice foul a guy shooting a 3?
Now we have 3 guys with 2 fouls. And Justin slips and we turn it over. No fault of his, just wet floor, but this is pretty typical of how things go for us at times. We seem to be a bit out of sorts. Gotta quit fouling these guys. They aren't that good shooting the ball, but they can nail FT's and it stops the clock. Just stop with the stupid crap and make them beat you.

What's up with Coach? This makes absolutely zero sense. There are three starters with 2 fouls with over 6 minutes left in the first half and he chooses to leave all three in the game?
The analyst is killing Roy's substitution patterns..

in the midst of an 8-0 run and still no timeout!!..i hate that sh%t from Roy!!..also subbing too much!!
It's ridiculous. Media timeouts are longer during NCAA tournament games.... Fatigue shouldn't be a huge factor. plus, it's not like we're on an 80 possession pace.
Wtf game are these officials watching. We are getting screwed on both ends. Just because Harvard is way overmatched it doesn't mean it's your job to keep them in the game. BS!!
26-20 after 5 straight Harvard free throws
Carolina turnover crazy again. Harvard has gone to a spread

Should've known we couldn't keep it up. This is the most schizophrenic team I think I have seen. They look like they could beat anyone one minute and the next thing you know they look like a high school JV team would give them fits.
We should be pushing 50 points right now and we have gone ice cold. And of course the defensive pressure has all but stopped with everyone but the water boy getting fouls now.
Gee whiz.

Roy had a lineup of:
Britt, Tokoto, Simmons, James, Johnson....
Of course we were going to go cold.
lol.
