Finish To The Game

[ChiShankCity]

I know history won't remember it this way... But what an effort by each team late.
________

Theo (a poor FT shooter) knocks down 2 HUGE FT's. UNC leads 71-64.

De'Aaron Fox (a HORRENDOUS 3pt shooter) drills a corner 3. UNC leads 71-67.

Meeks with the only moronic thing on the 5 sec violation.

Malik Monk (struggling all game) nails a clutch 3. UNC leads 71-70.

Jackson home run... Doesn't travel, unreal body control, layup. UNC leads 73-70.

Great team defense... Luke Maye gets a jump ball... Arrow UNC.

Jackson misses the front end (go figure, ACC POY gives them a window right?)

Monk with an absurd 3 to tie it.

NO TIMEOUT FROM ROY.

Theo in trouble, Maye trails the play, knocks down the shot.
________

Incredible stuff by both teams. Yea, we gave them a couple openings and didn't finish great... But man, both teams came up big in the final minute.

What a game.

Roy going zone was huge!

 

[GACMAN]

You missed a couple of things...Maye makes a couple of FT's also.....Maye also makes the pass to Jackson over the top.....

Gotta say - in a real road game, with UK coming back and heating up.... if it went to OT, I'd give us about a 5% chance to win....10% tops... which would make it two straight years of heartbreaker late shots.

That's why I think this game / last shot, and the stake is prolly a top 3 shot all time for the program.

That pass was right in Home School's pocket right in stride..... the QB blood in Maye comes through!

I'm trying to remember an instance where a guy off the bench was that critical to the outcome of a huge game.

I remember seeing the "Capitol One Player of the Game" going to Isaac Humphries with 5 minutes left to play.

oops!

To the OP: I didn't know DeAaron Fox was a poor 3-point shooter.

Trut be told... hard not to like Fox and Monk.... both big talents, both love the game, but neither seem to be dirty players or trash talkers.

Goog game. Congrats on the win, could have went either way, but we laid an egg you guys went on 12-0 run. 2 SEC teams gave you fits but props for the win. BTW, I hate Kenny Smith

Luke is the no brainer POG. Again. He made 5-6 big plays down the stretch to pull out the win. I think he has answered any and all questions about being able to play at the highest level.

Why? Great announcer.

 

[JC CATS]

Why? Great announcer.

Too biased for my taste, he should have kept his personal opinions to himself, or had a Ky guy to balance it out. I have no problem with him being for NC, just be professional when working for network

I hear ya JC, but how do you expect to have him just scrub / squelch his deep seeded UNC love? Watch him comment on NBA games. He is as smart and knowledgable about the game as anyone out there. Bar none. He seems like he could be a good coach maybe, at either level.

Compare that to the numerous idiot stuffed shirts that announce, or the myriad Dook lackeys that have to resort to whining and crying in the years when Dook gets bounced 3 rounds earlier than expected..... I'll take Kenny every day - and twice on this Final Four Sunday!

I agree, he knows the game, smart and knwledgable about the hgame and X's and O's. The W wasn't as easy and cut and dried as he seemed ti infer it would be because NC had a size advantage though. Again the only problem I had with him was him being so biased. Did you see the interview with the kid? You will run wind sprints if you don't pick NC. He can love NC, just give me a UK lover on there with him

Marvin Williams at home against Dook

 

[UNC-75]

Pretty good form if you ask me.

 

[UNC-75]

Nothing but net.

Watch it on the slow mo Titanic vid. 100% perfect textbook form. You can tell he's put in a TON of work. His release in fact looks better than Berry's, probably similar to JJ, better than everyone else on the team. And nothing but net. A no doubter, in the clutch. Pure ice water in veins.

Freakin' textbook.

I knew this kid was going to contribute at UNC because of his genes, his dad was a fierce competitor. And everything I'd read about Luke indicated his motor was very high revving. Guys like Luke are my favorite types of UNC players.

Just changed my wallpaper from a '60 Impala convertible to this picture. And as much as I love '60 Impala convertibles, that means a lot.

And the great thing is.... he aint going nowhere! He's in line for one hell of a senior night tribute in Feb/March 2019!

No 13 looks like he's praying.
