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

[tarh33ls]

Got to like this pace a little better though, at this rate Harvard cannot play with us.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

46-34 as UNC still cannot stop dribble pentration

 

[berens007]

If that BS is the shot they get against our zone I might try it one more time

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

50-36 in the first tv break of the half. Meeks, Jackson and Johnson getting good looks.

If we keep Tokoto on the floor, we'll probably have to play some zone. 3 fouls early 2H.

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Berry time.

 

[tarh33ls]

Berry played so far off of Miller there...why?

 

[berens007]

These turnovers are seriously going to end my life

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Mental lapses!

 

[imajericho]

If Joel James plays a lot in this tourney then we are going to flame out early.

 

[berens007]

Six fouls and the haven't missed fts

 

[tarh33ls]

No excuse being out rebounded when we have 4-5 guys around the ball

 

[strummingram]

It's strange to be ahead by 11 and still feel like your team is losing.

 

[UNC&ME]

lapses and turnovrs-same old song-all year long

 

[Spaceytoyz]

James is a train wreck...

You must have read my mind!

 

[ChiShankCity]

We're just not interested in finishing off games I guess.

Harvard shooting FT's the rest of the way. Might be looking at a tight finish because we'll probably hit another offensive drought sometime between now and the end of the game.

 

[mahncpa1]

Refs are allowing Harvard to grab our guys and then we get called for touches. I hate inconsistent refs

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

UNC in big time foul trouble and with 12 minutes to go Harvard is in the one and one...dribble pentration again hurting the Heels

 

[berens007]

We need good Brice to show up

 

[Littlejon]

Nice takedown by James. Too bad this isn't football.

Good grief! W should be pounding them into the sand and yet I get the feeling this is going to tighten up before the clock runs out.

Read my mind strumm. If the Heels are lucky enough to sneak by Harvard and they play like this Saturday, the Hogs will win by 15+ and the Heels will be done for the year.

 

[Bur-Heel]

ok..so we need to get 3 point shooters to commit...now we need guards to keep their man in front of them too?..seems like everytime someone drives they're beating us and getting a foul called!!

 

[RoyWilliamsCOY]

I really wish that Roy wouldn't play Simmons at all and Joel James for maybe a minute or two per half. To be honest, since Coach doesn't call timeouts, why not take a few in the first half to give Meeks, Johnson and Hicks a breather?

MP
JP
Justin
Brice
Kennedy

Isiah
Berry
Nate
Pinson

 

[Bur-Heel]

Paige is having a tough night!!

 

[tarh33ls]

Missing layups, damn it man

 

[BillyL]

Berry misses a wide open lay-up . . ?

 

[coolwaterunc]

Why do we play do many guys? Can't get into a rhythm.

[berens007]

Wow does the offense look like garbage - can't make a effing fast break layup. Pinson looks good on Saunders at leaast

 

[ChiShankCity]

Mark down that missed layup.

54-45 lead around 9:30 left.

Btw, Paige had a really strange reaction when Pinson kept the ball on the late shot clock situation. Hopefully just a heat of the moment reaction.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

What happened to the days of completely pummeling the opening round opponent???

 

[toophly1124]

Pinson giving us some good minutes on D .. Esp giving Tokoto a rest

Yes he does. Can Berry not use his left hand?

 

[RoseHeel]

How the hell did Berry miss a wide open lay up? Jeez.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

54-45 as UNC with 4 starters on the bench cannot shake Harvard. Paige having problems scoring.

 

[Littlejon]

Ok, time for Roy to quit dicking around with the lineup and put this game out of reach once and for all. Marcus is having a tough night so far, so maybe he will light it up soon, but regardless, we need our best guys out there now.

Seems like a recurring theme these days...

Saw that reaction and that scenario is exactly why Pinson DOESNT need to be playing major minutes the rest of the year. I appreciate that Pinson has the cajones to want that shot but it's clearly Paiges team.

 

[tarh33ls]

Only favored by 10 guys, temper some of the expectations for a blow out.

Poor fundamentals.

And on that note - has anybody else noticed that most of the time when the shot clock hits 9, the guy with the ball delays with playground hip shaking and then makes his move and shoots, with virtually no look at passing?

This is the antithesis of a smart playing team for much of each game.
