NC State vs Carolina game thread on Saturday 2 February 2024

[DaveChapelle]

We might need to start trapping ball screens more, or asking the bigs to hedge hard.

When Cormac has been bad this year, he’s been brutally bad. And Bacot continues to not give max effort consistently. The amount of in-close shots he manages to miss is amazing.

It's hard to believe that he can miss so many, ALL the time!

It's in your face ugly ... almost .. or is embarrassing.

For some reason Hubert went with a lineup of Cadeau, Trimble, Ryan, Withers, Washington. That's an odd lineup. Gotta have at least one of RJ or Bacot out there.

Saving there energy .. lol .. they get gassed like our football team

 

[KinstonNC]

Wojcik was worse

Our defense is better with him on the floor.

Our bench is so bad, we can't just bench our starters.

Then he should stop shooting cause it’s freaking ugly!

 

[NorCalTarheel]

I’m still amazed that someone said coaching has little to do with the other team shooting well. Lol

If defense was 100% on the coaches 100% of the time, you wouldn't even need to put the players out there.

My point was that you can have a perfect game plan and if the players aren't playing with effort and intensity it won't matter. That is what I'm seeing today. Very little effort and very little intensity (paired with an incredible and hopefully unsustainable shooting percentage).

Good news is no foul issues, should not see much of the bench in the 2nd half.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Morsell a jumper 47-37

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan BOOM from the corner then Bacot a score in the paint 47-42

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram from Cadeau 47-44 after Bacot misses a dunk

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Looking like the WWE is breaking out in the Dean Dome

 

[KinstonNC]

Damn gonna need another 42pts from RJ cause Bacot bs around shooting floaters and Ryan C ain’t giv nothing- Again!

 

[NorCalTarheel]

I like that we are (finally) showing some fight

 

[al would]

I cannot think of a starting caliber player for Carolina over the last 30 years that missed more point blank shots than he does.

How do you think he got all those rebounds .. they were his misses. Sad.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau to the hole and he is fouled. He makes both 47-46

 

[RP12]

Who tf is Ryan C?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau to the hole and he is fouled. He makes both 47-46 then Horne is fouled in the lane. He misses the first but hits the second 48-46 then Cadeau smacked in the face scores to tie the game 48-48 then Ryan saves a sure basket by Horne. Davis BOOM 51-49

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Taylor fouled by Davis who converts both 51-51

 

[NorCalTarheel]

State rebounding like, well.... We are supposed to be

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers fights for the ball on the floor and gets Carolina a possession and he is rewarded with a layup on a nice pass from Davis 53-51

 

[DaveChapelle]

Get Washington off the dang floor

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Morsell at the line drains one 53-52

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington just slapping at the ball instead of rebounding

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble fouled going into the paint and at the line he hits one 54-52

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram posts up and he is fouled by Burns his fourth

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram at the line rips two

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot with Burns out spins to the hole and scores and ft 59-52

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Horne at the free throw line drops one 59-53

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau not a great free throw shooter hits a couple 61-53

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan’s defense on Horne has been GREAT this half

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ryan gets a chance at the line and he connects on two shots 63-53

 

[DaveChapelle]

We pretty much dominated all but 90 seconds of this 2nd half.

 

[RP12]

Cadeau not a great free throw shooter hits a couple 61-53

Close to 80% last 11 games

 

[DaveChapelle]

Ryan’s defense on Horne has been GREAT this half

He's gotten in Horne's head.

Also Bacot has handled the screens better.

 

[KeeLo]

NCSU shooting 1-16 this half after going 19-33 in the 1st. Not watching the game; what adjustments have been made?

 

[DaveChapelle]

Looks like we practiced free throw shooting this week

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

State has scored a WHOOPING 8 points this half

 

[DaveChapelle]

NCSU shooting 1-16 this half. After going 19-33 in the 1st. Not watching the game; what adjustments have been made?

We've played more physical. Fouling more as a byproduct.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram BOOM 66-53

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Taylor a corner three 66-56
