[Ozheelfan]

4 hours till tip-off?? You are excited Keyser.

 

[keysersosay#1]

Big game!!!! anxious to see how MP plays and how the Heels work on defense and the boards against a team that matches up very well with them .

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The biggest problem that might happen tonight is the team seeing their leader back stops playing and just watches Paige try and do his thing

 

[keysersosay#1]

That is a potential problem IMO..BUT the team has played well without Marcus and the win against K state was important for their overall confidence

[UNC Blue Hup]

I can't wait for this game..both teams want it badly..gonna be a fight!! GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tysofast]

What Maryland player is going to have his career high tonight? Always happens....

 

[RP12]

MP3!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Paige with a three 5-0

 

[_B5]

Why is Pinson not starting?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams are sloppy but UNC leads 9-6 at the first tv break

 

[RP12]

Why is Pinson not starting?

Because our starting SG is back from injury.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Good start. Love the tempo.

 

[Heelicious]

Just gotta get some shots to fall but I love the intensity on D and the ball hawking. Lots of steals and near steals already

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Looks like Paige hasn't lost his touch AT ALL.

 

[bobby121567]

Like the D so far

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Like the intensity. Curious to see how things go with both Paige and Berry off the court.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

17-11 at the 12 minute timeout. The Teri pans have a basket full of turnovers.

 

[Heelicious]

Nice, Joel James. I swear he holds the all time record for most mistakes in shortest amount of time. A straight up momentum KILLER

 

[Ozheelfan]

Like the intensity. Curious to see how things go with both Paige and Berry off the court.

Have to say I don't like it..... though I love both players I get scared 6:30 in when the announcer says: "Britt checks into the game along with Joel James"

 

[Ozheelfan]

OK, so Nate has come to play.

 

[Ozheelfan]

First Justin with the dynamite dime, then Marcus and Brice bring showtime.... Wow!

 

[ACokeForRoy]

Holy Crap Batman!

 

[MWHeels]

Nice give and go with Brice finishing with a monster dunk.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

30-19 and Maryland is forced to call timeout. Carolina all over the floor fighting for loose balls.

 

[Heelicious]

That was the nicest passing finish I've seen in a while. I hope we can keep it up. Right now we are so much more active toward getting and pushing loose balls

 

[bobby121567]

This is what I expect from Carolina Basketball

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maryland has hit three from downtown but UNC counters with bombs from Paige, Britt and Berry

 

[MWHeels]

They need to close out the half strong. Keep the big lead.

 

[Ozheelfan]

I think the low post turnaround jumper is James' best offensive move..... and the foul on Trimble is his best defensive move too

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

38-26 under 4 to go. Bench has helped as Britt has 5 and James and Hicks both have a bucket. Jackson and Berry had three half way down before they came out or the score would be worse.

 

[tarh33ls]

Got to be smarter Joel. Weird lineup.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Joel James........no comment

 

[toophly1124]

I know it's like a broken record and people don't like to admit but Joel James is god awful he doesn't need to see any significant playing time ...stupid lane violation leads to a three and once again he kills our momentum smh

 

[Ozheelfan]

Do not like this line-up.

 

[WoadBlue]

Joel James........no comment

He winked at somebody when he scored.

 

[coachdubausee]

Joel James playing for North Carolina is blowing my mind.

 

[tarh33ls]

How does the ref standing right there miss that call?

 

[WoadBlue]

Not a good close.
