Heels/Horns game thread

Perfect game for Roy to go with a small lineup and see how it can play.

Jackson at the 4, Hicks/Meeks/James at the 5.

Doubt Roy will, but this game is a chance to.

 

[tarh33ls]

Hicks' time to shine.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Brice Johnson averages to commit 4.1 fouls per 40 minutes this season. 4.8 committed fouls per 40 minutes last year.... He's always been and always will be a foul prone player. That's a terrible move by Roy.

Whenever Meeks or Johnson are in 2 fouls early foul trouble, that's auto bench.

Hmmmmmm....pretty sure Ridley and Lambert would own the glass. Texas is NOT the team to go small against!

 

[tarh33ls]

Well back to the usual game plan against the Heels, try to bury them with the 3.

 

[coryfly]

They have three guys who can shoot from deep. They are going to make them.

 

[ChiShankCity]

9 of Texas' 13 FGA are 3PA.... Just an ongoing problem.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

One ft by Hicks 19-18

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Ummmm no foul there. Hicks and Meeks both had ALL BALL!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ridley 1 ft 20-18

 

[CarolinaMagic]

The officiating in this game is so one sided it isn't even funny. If Roy watches this for 40 minutes without a T he's lost his mind

 

[coryfly]

That is twice they have come over the back to knock away post passes, which is what they called on Meeks.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Hmmmmmm....pretty sure Ridley and Lambert would own the glass. Texas is NOT the team to go small against!

Coming into today... Lambert: 29 3PA, 11 2PA... He's not a guy that lives in the paint. Texas is also an extemely poor defensive rebounding team.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Meeks can take Ridley to school if he can just get the ball.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks a turn around jumper and a Jackson breakaway 22-22

 

[TarHeelMark]

Feed Justin!

 

[TarHeelMark]

This game is being called pretty tight all the way around. They've called a lot of offensive fouls on Texas.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Don't care where he shoots from. I care about him crashing the glass with a sizable height advantage.

 

[tarh33ls]

Getting beat in the boards too much

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

A Berry floater and it is 24-22 at the 8 minute tv break. Texas getting a bunch of second shots as they are hitting the boards. The longhorns guards are very quick.

 

[CarolinaMagic]

Lambert just completely climbed over the back of Hicks and they swallowed the whistle. everyone in the gym saw it and they called nothing.

Yep, and some here want to give them more of an advantage on the boards.

 

[imajericho]

Refs are favoring us if anything so far. Fpul on Ridley was a foul. He hit his elbow. Inly non I saw was the over and back on the white dude.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Don't care where he shoots from. I care about him crashing the glass with a sizable height advantage.

I would rather have Justin Jackson guard Connor Lambert vs having Connor Lambert guard Justin Jackson. But Texas is destroying us on the glass right now, so you may have a point.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Paige on the line hits a pair 26-22

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Joel James with the follow!

 

[coryfly]

Not a good play from Berry on the help. No reason at all there. It isn't going to help and just leaves the guy open.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another three by Texas 28-27

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Texas winning the game from the line

 

[coryfly]

Good, confident shot from Joel there. He has made some big ones.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry another three 32-28 for the visitors

 

[coryfly]

Good job by Hicks. Ridley can't guard him or Brice away from the basket.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Like Hicks trying to use his speed against Ridley. Definite advantage that can put him in quick foul trouble.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The whistles are non stop on both teams

 

[coryfly]

Good floater by JJ, should have been and and-1.

What a job by Hicks with the pass.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Whenever this team is in transition, there's not another team in the country that can stay within 10 points of the Heels. And it looks like Felix is going to be the thorn in the Heels' side that he has traditionally been.

 

[coryfly]

Another three where our defender is in terrible and unnecessary position. If a guy is a shooter, there is no need to be off him that much.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

37-35 after a Jackson runner on a great pass from Britt and Britt scores after a great pass from Hicks but Texas hits it's 6th three of the first half.
