Heels vs Owls Game Thread

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Britt with his third three and the lead is uo to 14 61-47

 

[tarh33ls]

Britt and Berry are good perimeter shooters, Paige is proven and Pinson and Justin should be able to chip in as well. Nice to see Britt and Berry continue from where they left off in terms of their shooting.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

63-50 after a Williams layup his first regular season points for the Heels

 

[coachdubausee]

So far Berry, Britt and Meeks have improved from last year. Obvious improvement in various areas.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

67-56 for unc but Temple has hit some big time threes

 

[tarh33ls]

Spread was only -9.5 I believe so Temple is not a bad squad.

 

[toophly1124]

Giving up wayyyy too many WIDE open 3s ...thank God they're ice cold

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

69-56 after a reverse layup from Berry on a nice pass from Pinson---Temple now shooting nothing but threes

 

[tarh33ls]

Meeks will be tough to stop this season

 

[tarh33ls]

Need work on the D boards and a little slow on some of our defensive rotations but a lot of promising signs.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

74-56 as Meeks continues to impress

 

[Littlejon]

From the Temple Twitter thread:

"Kennedy Meeks has 23 points and 10 rebounds and is pretty much doing what he wants tonight."

 

[tarh33ls]

On another note, Ingram is going to have some growing pains. He'll end up really good but needs weight, strength and better shot selection.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

83-64 as Meeks scores again after another three by Pinson...Got to like the effort

 

[tarh33ls]

Our two best scorers are out and we are scoring in a variety of ways. Pinson is going to be an upgrade over JP IMO.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

87-65 and the starters still in

 

[tarh33ls]

MONSTER put back by Brice. Gets shoved after

 

[coolwaterunc]

Dumb move by Brice. Temple guy shouldnt have shoved him, but that was stupid by Brice.

 

[toophly1124]

I love that Brice has emotion but that's a little over the top for me ... This ain't dook

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wwe at the end of the game where's Rick Flair whoooooooooo

 

[coachdubausee]

WTF was Britt thinking?

 

[tarh33ls]

UK going to struggle early as well with all of their departures.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Overall the end of the game mess could have and should have been avoided. Brice was excessive with his celebration and can't necessarily fault the temple kid for his reaction. I will say that I like our fire. Britt was an idiot for coming off the bench. That's about as basic as it gets. Overall a nice showing by our kids in game 1 without Paige. Keep grinding boys.

 

[coolwaterunc]

I love that Brice has emotion but that's a little over the top for me ... This ain't dook

Yeah, if this was close game or something, then I love the emotion, but dude, you're up 20 at the end of the game against Temple. Dunk it and get back.

 

[Super6Fan]

Britt suspended next game?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

91-67 final solid games from Meeks with 25 points and 3 blocks. Great adjustment at halftime stopping the dribble drive.

 

[Archer2]

 

[RP12]

Dumb move by Britt no doubt but seemed he just instinctively went to pull guys away from it.

 

[Coach_a_Heart]

Hanging 91 on Temple is nothing to overlook. Kinda hoping the Heels get back to high octane Offense. We haven't seen quite the kind of production Coach Williams prefers over the last 4 years.

 

[UNC Blue Hup]

I may be crazy but I thought we played at about 65% of our full potential..let me say 1st game..so everyone I'm aware..JJ crashed boards with effort in 1st half..didn't have as great as game as everyone thought..but my gosh people OUR BLUE looked great for game 1 against a respected program.i couldn't be happier

I agree with all of that.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

brad frederick, former power forward?

okay, thanks.

Yep, that's him.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Britt suspended next game?

Was wondering the same. IIRC, yes he's suspended for 1 game for that.

 

[RoseHeel]

WTH Happened with Britt?!?!

 

[johnhelvete]

Was wondering the same. IIRC, yes he's suspended for 1 game for that.

Per Roy, Britt was ejected for leaving the bench but not suspended for the next game.

 

[UNC Blue Hup]

Bad emotional judgement--but this team is really tight..no excuse, but easily correctable and not his personality, Nates a level headed young man...Roy will handle it with some running.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Per Roy, Britt was ejected for leaving the bench but not suspended for the next game.

Very good! Love the emotion for his teamate but Nate has to show better judgement.

 

[Sk1310]

Great game! I don't think three pointers are going to be an issue this year which means teams can't pick the lane. Temple was one of the best teams are in the country last year, allowing only 63 pts a game. That is how good this offense could be this year...

 

[coryfly]

You are only ejected in the NBA for the next game for that. I didn't mind the dunk and yell but could have done without the leg swing. I mean, he wasn't trying to put his leg on the guys head but that is what happened and is on Brice. I don't blame the guy at all for the push. That is what I would have done. Still, I don't mind a little bit of that emotion. They could use it at times.
