Heels/Horns game thread

[coryfly]

Nice shot by Brice. I would rather Meeks shot the turnaround than the hook.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson again 55-50

 

[coryfly]

I'm surprised at the number of offensive rebounds we've given up. Again, that's a huge weakness for Hicks though.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Second shots again for Texas 55-52

 

[coryfly]

Man, Paige almost made that.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Paige 2 more fts 57-52

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis another three for Texas 57-55

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

58-55 another ft by Paige

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Littdisjointed right now. Need to settle in. And James has quietly played a really nice game!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks scores on a nice reverse 60-55

 

[imajericho]

For what? He was in position and the guy clearly leaned into him with his shoulder. We have had a pretty favorable whistle this half so far but I disagree with that one.

how was he in position? he was trying to recover and ran in front of him and made contact with him causing him to go off balance and travel.

Not like he was standing there. He ran into him.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Big Joel giving it a solid effort on Ridley.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

James has given the Heels some solid minutes

 

[coryfly]

It looked to me like he was running with him, not that he ran in front of him. Whatever though. I just disagree. It isn't that big a deal.

 

[imajericho]

Joel James giving tons of fouls.

 

[TarHeelMark]

I don't get why refs even call a ticky-tack foul like that 4th one on James. There was minimal contact and no advantage gained at all, as the Texas dude blew right by James.

 

[coryfly]

C'mon, grab the ball. Too many offensive rebounds for this team. That is surprising.

 

[tarh33ls]

Offensive rebounds this game man

 

[coryfly]

Berry has to make those open shots to take some pressure off Paige.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Damn we shooting too many 3's

 

[TarHeelMark]

And of course they are making too many 3's

 

[coryfly]

Finally on offensive rebound and then someone went to sleep and left Lambert wide open. Meeks has to go up stronger there. Lots of frustrating little things that could make a difference.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Can't go up that soft Meeks.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Mother F! With the damn 3's

 

[coryfly]

We are missing threes. They are making them. That is the reason this is a game.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Let their aggressiveness eat them. Already in foul trouble and the bonus. ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!

 

[WoadBlue]

If Texas could hit FTs like Felix nails 3 on our crappy perimeter D, the Horns would own this game.

How can this UNC team rebound so poorly on both ends?

 

[TarHeelMark]

I keep hoping they're legs are gonna give late in the game on those deep balls. But it ain't happened yet....

 

[toophly1124]

Meeks as soft as Charmin with that "lay up" attempt

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Barry misses two open threes and Texas makes a run and Texas leads 65-64 on another three by Felix Except for a Johnson layup after a tremendous block Carolina has shot nothing but threes the last four times down.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Paige 2 fts 66-65

 

[TarHeelMark]

They are 11-20
We are 5-13


Sigh.

 

[HeelFan58]

terrible performance against Tex once again. been hearing all week what a bad rebounding team Tex is but they are owning us on the boards.

 

[coryfly]

Meeks has to be stronger.

 

[toophly1124]

Meeks needs to get stronger/tougher quickly

 

[TarHeelMark]

We look great when we can run. Otherwise we are average.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina guards having problems stopping the Texas guards

 

[coryfly]

Missed shot goes off Kennedy's foot, which is basically just another offensive rebound.

Paige for three!

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Paige with the record!!!

 

[TarHeelMark]

Trailing by one with 6:30 to go



Marcus with a 3! Finally
