I think putting a guy on the inbounder isn't automatically the smartest move with that much time left. You put your guys in the frontcourt, where they have to score. I think Berry could have pressured Ryan more but he couldn't really stay in front of him all night so I get it. The mistake was simply leaving Jenkins. He is their best shooter and has great range. You just can not leave him, period. If there is a mistake for Roy it is having Hicks in there since he is simply not a good defender. Still, he probably wanted his length. Hicks just has to stay on him. Don't leave him. Just a mistake. Really, no one ever got on him to begin with.
I think that's a fair assessment.
 
I just watched Marcus in the post-game presser and his whole body was trembling and mouth was quivering while answering questions. I just hurt for those kids, mostly him.
 
Yeah, I have no interest in going over to THR. I'll suck it up on the main board because I post there all the time but have no interest in that mess.
 
I'm drunk and tired. Peace out OOTB. I still say our defense on that last sequence was dreadful. They were shooting a 3 come he'll or high water. To not guard that out deep was stupid as shit.
 
If I was a coach, I would be t'ed up and kicked out of the game in the first 4 minutes of each game. I would need a bomb assistant coach to lead the team in my absence.

Never understood why they make the kids do that after a loss. The pros get paid to do it, but these kids don't.
 
Dag gone, 71 has gone one man militia on radar. John Rambo 71

It made me feel better for a while but now I am back to feeling sick again.

Key is a dimwitted oaf. He used to poast here all the time but got pissed when a few of us made fun of Bryce Harper. Called us all sorts of nasty names.

That dude couldn't pass a mental evaluation. His elevator doesn't come within 15 stories of the top floor. His "LTCC" posts are more Pack Pride esque than half the posts on Pack Pride
 
It's golf season now. That is what I roll with whenever UNC is done for the year. Break out the clubs, boys.
 
I think I shut my TV off while that ball was in mid-flight.

Feeling crushed this morning. And I haven't seen any of the reactions from the guys yet.
 
Well don't look. It's like a bag of feral cats right now

If everyone stays, realistically, how good will we be next year. I would expect Justin and berry to turn it up a notch. Kenny will start contributing with more playtime. Same with maye. I don't follow recruiting much, but I don't want to rely on freshmen to lead a team. So where will we stand? Top 15 team perhaps?
 
Well this sucks. Helluva game. Incredible guts by Marcus to put us in the position to possibly force OT. Was yelling to cover the inbounder and will never understand why we had multiple defenders inside the arc when they really didn't have time to get to the rim. That last shot was as good a look as you could possibly expect with >5 seconds left, and we let 'em have it. But we had a chance in this game despite all odds - getting forced out of our bread-and-butter post game, Nova hitting tough shots all game despite good D, and a healthy dose of inexplicable calls and no-calls.

Still, what a great season! Conference regular season and tournament championships, and a title game run. Couldn't be prouder of this crop of Heels.

I question having Hicks in for a must stop possession in the game. And I'm always a proponent for guarding the inbound pass with under 5 seconds in a situation like that.

To me, the bigger question was why was Brice riding the pine when we were dying the second half. If Brice was mentally not there and would have hurt the team, that's really disappointing. But if not, have to go down with your best guys right.

The ironic part of this whole thing is I'm surprised Jay Wright didn't foul up 3. A pair of questionable coaching decisions in the last 10 seconds. Just unfortunate for us Nova had the ball last.

Nova played better and deserved to win though. A worthy champ. It just sucks because I think we played our C+ game... But Nova had a ton to do with that.

Good news that the sun came up this morning... I guess it snowing yesterday in the northeast was a bad omen for the game... Pretty much the last thing I wanted to see waking up on an April day.
 
The invasion has begun.
