Should be up by more. Bad last play but not a bad effort this half.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

41-35 at half UNC not getting much from Jackson or Pinson

 

[toophly1124]

wanna stop a unc run? Put in Joel james

 

[strummingram]

Much better than I expected.

 

[heels05champs]

Roy went with James too long in that half. I think we need a 7-8 man rotation.

 

[bobby121567]

Best half of the year so far this year. But didn't close out the half as well as I would have liked.

 

[tarh33ls]

Improve the FTs

 

[Heelicious]

I don't feel great about where we are. It seems like we've played good enough defense, but they still are hitting a lot of pretty closely guarded shots. We just need to stay out on their 3 shooters and hope they fall in love with taking a lot of closely guarded 3s. And no more Joel James in this game, please. We have no foul trouble in our bigs, and are way deep enough to not need the liablility and momentum killer of his time on the court.

Improve the FTs

Agreed. Berry and Jackson 1-4? Also, work on not stepping into the lane when your guy is shooting. How hard can that be, really?

 

[Ozheelfan]

I don't think it's about one player or another its the combintations. Having Britt, Pinson, James and Hicks on the floor at the same time is just asking for trouble. Each of those players has strengths, but their weaknesses seem to be like a reverse synergy.
Besides spot minutes I'd like to see one or both of Berry and Paige on the court for the next 20 min.

Roy went with James too long in that half. I think we need a 7-8 man rotation.

Eventually Roy will trim it to there. I wouldn't mind it happening sooner either though.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Wow, fireworks to start the second half

 

[tarh33ls]

7-11 from 3, percentages got to even out man

 

[WoadBlue]

I still say Diamond Stone is a perfect name for a porn star.

 

[tarh33ls]

Brice how the heck you let that happen to you man

 

[tarh33ls]

No wonder Brice frustrates Roy so much

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

55-53as Maryland had hit 8 from downtown

 

[strummingram]

3-point shoot-out

 

[Ozheelfan]

No wonder Brice frustrates Roy so much

Let his emotion get to him....

 

[coolwaterunc]

This is one of the worst defensive UNC teams I've ever seen.

 

[WoadBlue]

I still say Diamond Stone is a perfect name for a porn star.

His co=star: Alla Trimble.

 

[Heelicious]

You have to think / hope Maryland will cool down from 3....

 

[ChiShankCity]

3's are worth more than 2's. Basic math.

 

[Ozheelfan]

Not a great time to bring Britt into the game

 

[Ozheelfan]

James blew the defense, thank heavens for Justin there

 

[strummingram]

Maryland shooting over 65%

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

What a terrible lineup

 

[tarh33ls]

Can't ****ing miss from anywhere. Britt cannot guard.

 

[WoadBlue]

This is one of the worst defensive UNC teams I've ever seen.

It is bad, particularly in spurts. But it is a Roy problem, inherent in his basketball ideology and how he recruits.

 

[Ozheelfan]

Marcus Paige = Senior leadership

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Marcus is the sole reason we're not getting our doors blown off

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

No one can cover Trimble that young guy has serious game as Maryland leads 59-58

 

[coryfly]

Hicks got hammered on the other end with no call.

 

[imajericho]

They are scoring so fast. Hard to keep up with from work.

 

[tarh33ls]

Britt finally plays good D but that was a weird foul call

 

[imajericho]

Need jackson to start hitting badly.

 

[Ozheelfan]

Pinson, Paige and Berry..... together this three can defend!!!

 

[strummingram]

You know what? Marcus Paige is really good... I mean... he's really, really, REALLY good!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

63-59 under 12 to go. Paige taking the big shots when it counts. Maryland does not seem to have much of a inside game but their perimeter game is tremendous.

 

[Littlejon]

Well, as much as Joel James drives me nuts, if he wants to put Suzyman on his arse a few more times like that, I'll take it!

Win or lose, this is turning into one heck of a game between two teams that could play for th National Championship

 

[coolwaterunc]

Marcus Paige is a warrior.
