Dance time UNC vs Harvard game thread--Thursday 19 March2015

Once again. No reason for the fouls. Go to a zone. We own this team in every position. I know Roy wants to just run run run. But ya have to play smart. Whatever, Drunk fan < HOF Coach
 
Harvard throws the ball out of bounds and still get the ball back.
 
Good point SJung!

Hicks is getting hot now! Good to see the kid take it to them. Might have gotten away with a charge, but I like how is going after them using his strengths.
 
Is the Harvard band full of child prodigies? They look about 12-13 years old each

Nope . . . sad isn't it . . ?

Hell, we didn't even get a shot off there . . a lot of Berry dribbling though.
 
Keys to the 2H.

Paige, Tokoto, Jackson, Meeks, Johnson
Berry, Hicks

That's it.

If foul trouble gets too severe, give James minutes but that's it. That's the rotation. Don't get cute.

Expect Harvard to zone in the 2H.
 
Wow this Lappas guy has his heel hate-o-meter turned up to 10. F him. What's his background and story? I hope I never have to hear from him again.

We've done that so many times and basically end up with the same result . .

Roy had his use it or lose it timeout. We were clearly confused when they went zone and switched back to man.

That's where you call a TO and have a set for man and for zone.

But the players really bailed out Roy in the 1H. We were rolling and on the way to a 30 point win, but he got cute, and tried to send messages in game #36. Once he brought 5-of-7 rotation, we rolled again. Tonight isn't complicated. We're far superior skilled, size wise....

perfect post on the 1st half
 
Actually, Hicks should be in there and James sitting. James big size is not being used today and his hands have hurt us bad as expected. His strength is defending against an imposing big and Harvard doesn't have one. So, IMO James sits.
 
This is how much of a mis match this game is. 28.5 first half possessions. That's a 57 possession pace. That's 13 fewer than we average and we're up by 11. This is Harvard's game and we're up 11 despite 6 more turnovers.

And to back up my point on the lineup....

When the following players were on the floor:
Berry (21 pts scored, 10 allowed, +11)
Paige (15 pts scored, 9 allowed, +6)
Britt (0 pts scored, 6 allowed, -6)

Play Hicks and put Meeks on the bench.
Meeks is playing harder than Johnson He looks un-motivated
Why does he fade away in the post against Harvard's no size inside?

Because Meeks would fade away against SJung on some of his offensive moves, its just what he does from time to time
 
Technically we were favored by 10 tonight I believe, lets keep that in mind when watching this game. I do agree, if we play our best guys we should still win by 20 or so.
 
Love what we seeing from Berry-Hicks, Berry just waited to late to start his drive at the end of the half. Have no idea what is up with Brice, started good then just disappeared. What has Marcus taken 1 shot?
 
Yep, you can bet they will play a lot of zone the rest of the way. Would be nice if JP, Marcus, Justin and Berry could make them pay, but that may be asking too much. I agree that we need to play them tough with the best lineup and sub when we have to.

I won't trash any of our guys but poor Joel James just can't seem to do anything consistently. He has had some good games, but does some of the dumbest things you will ever see. Not sure I would put him in unless we are up by 30 or desperate for rest.

Nobody moved when Berry started to attack and it just ended with a thud...

James is a Florida guy correct? he probably has some family at this game
 
It's like the best we can expect in last shot situation is to dribble out the half without turning it over for a layup at the other end. Very sad. Would it kill is to call a timeout and get a play to any of our bigs that are 6 inches taller and 50 lbs more muscle than them?

Yessir, James and Berry.
 
Hicks and Berry need more PT this seconds half.

We need to put this game away fast. Can't let them just hang around or we will be in trouble.

The way we have been shooting the ball from outside this season I don't want them to stick around and make us play a half court game.
 
Would be nice to build a large enough lead to allow Pinson who was out and some of the younger guys to get extended minutes.

Massive dunk by JPT
 
Marcus looks a bit out of sorts right now, as does our interior defense. What the heck is up with them getting 2 dunks?

Great. JP just picked up his third foul.
