OFFICIAL UNC VS. Stanford THREAD

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Huffman is in....where's Travis???

 

[truetarheelraider0806]

That was not a foul... Bryce love is a class act

 

[GACMAN]

Theo needs to move the damn ball...KW should be pissed he is not getting the ball

 

[truetarheelraider0806]

That freshman wearing #1 for Stanford is gonna be special for Haas in a couple of yrs

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Theo can be a black hole when we don’t have a dominant ball handler on the floor.

 

[pln2013]

The what in the heck are u talking about bud? Either Maye can handle Travis or travis can handle Maye. I agree that Travis is the better palyer, but u act like Travis is only gonna do it against Maye and no one else. Maye is off tonight. Not just in the post. hes missing shots hes made plenty of times. It happens

1) Travis is really good, and Maye is not the first player he'll make look bad this year.

2) Maye is likely to struggle on defense against a number of bigs this year. His lack of length is a huge weakness on that end.

Those ideas can coexist.

But Maye hasn't really been a big mismatch for Travis on the other end.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Okay, so the refs are trying to contain the extra curricular stuff in the paint, but COME ON!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina thunder dunk by Huffman. The game is such a blow out a Stanford football player is getting lots of time on the mike

I agree

He's done that twice I know of this game

 

[pln2013]

Clever little shot by Platek

 

[pln2013]

Maye really can't get his hook shot off against bigger / longer / more athletic defenders. At least when they expect it.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Platek with a short bank 77-58...

 

[tarh33ls]

We are better than I thought. Nice to see the bigs all able to contribute something substantial depending on the game and the matchup.

Woods and Felton MIA tonight.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye from Williams 79-62

 

[tarh33ls]

Joel still diving for loose balls.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Nice save by LUUUUUUUUKE to Berry for the SPLASH!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry bang from the top 82-62

 

[pln2013]

Berry should average 10 3pt attempts per game. Should be one of our biggest sources of offense.

 

[sctarheel30]

Is Brandon Robinson injured? I haven't seen him tonight.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Brooks is having a rough game.....I'll give him that......but I really REALLY like what Sterling Manley is bringing the last couple of games....like the entirety of his college career so far.

 

[thaUNCshow]

Up by 17 in the 2nd half and a Final Four MOP with a broken hand is diving for a ball. Favorite player ever

 

[pln2013]

Is Brandon Robinson injured? I haven't seen him tonight.

Yep, hurt. Platek has taken his minutes.

 

[tarh33ls]

Is Brandon Robinson injured? I haven't seen him tonight.

Yes I believe he's banged up.

 

[truetarheelraider0806]

We are gonna be a heck of a team come march and we are pretty good now

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson on the line sinks one 83-62

 

[thaUNCshow]

Luke Maye is not even guarding Travis......are you even watching the game or just being an idiot poster!

He was guarding him the entire first half. Go to bed Gramps

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye a layup 85-64

 

[alabamaheel]

We are gonna be a heck of a team come march and we are pretty good now

And ol Roy has a bunch of kids to through out there. And on any given night get some great performances from diff guys

The only reason Brooks starts is because he’s the better post/perimeter defender 5. Manley is better and has always been better.

Ps: Some people were concerned about Stanford earlier in the week lol......

 

[pln2013]

Nice take by Maye. I think his best offense will come from quick, decisive moves. Multiple dribbles with his back to the basket probably won't work, but quick shots and pump fakes should serve him well.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye in the paint scores 87-66

 

[truetarheelraider0806]

That's my boy seventh with a nice crossover pull up and swish

Count me as one of those concerned with Stanford. Only Berry's second game back with an unproven front court. I still have my concerns, but I'm MUCH more comfortable with the interior rotation with since they've been somewhat tested, at least by Travis.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Woods a nice jumper 89-66 under 4 minutes to go. Stanford just too many turnovers and missed shots from the line. Stanford has been to the line more than Carolina in this game.

 

[sctarheel30]

Glad to see woods hit that jumper

 

[tarh33ls]

Vegas had us as a 7 point favorite IIRC. They're usually pretty spot on and we are a fairly public team which means our lines tend to be a little inflated. We are better than the professionals thought we'd be at this point.

 

[thaUNCshow]

Gotta say im pretty impressed. Brand new team and gonna put 100 on the road against a Power 5 team in November. Not an easy task

 

[KOOL123]

Maye with 12 points 9 boards and 5 assists...

Not bad for a off night...

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Great to see players still getting floor boards with a 20 point lead
