OOTB Carolina Basketball Discussion Thread

[coolwaterunc]

No point in worrying about any of this anymore. I'm sure after Roy reads this thread things will change.

If he knows what's good for him, he'll read it.

So Joel is playing tonight?

Looks that way

Since Roy has returned to the Hill… 14 seasons

National Championships: 3 – 2 UNC
Natty appearances: 4 – 2 UNC
Final Fours: 5 – 3 UNC
Elite Eight: 3 – 1 UNC*

*we’ve been as far as the Elite Eight, 8 times to dooks 4 during this time.

Is that not enough good stuff for ya? Then how about this…
ACC Regular Season titles: 8 – 3 UNC

Ok, so they do lead us head-to-head 18-12 and that sucks. But it was only 10-9 in dooks favor after 9 seasons. The last 5 have been 8-3 in dooks favor; which can be heavily attributed to our recruiting struggles during that time frame due to the NCAA mess. dook has had three no. 1 national recruiting classes during the last 5 years (and a no. 2 & no. 9), while UNC’s average is 25th.

Oh yeah, they do lead us in other stat…. first round exits: 4 – 0 dook!

Game, set, and match.

THN11 will bend over backwards making excuses for our mediocre football coach/program rbut won't extend the same logic to the basketball program and our HOF coach. His posts clearly show he's a bigger football fan than basketball fan, quite ironic given his multiple posts berating "basketball only" UNC fans.

His statement "Did looming NCAA investigation/sanctions hurt our recruiting? Yes, absolutely. Did, in a weird but beautiful way, it also help us because we instead got moldable, coachable players that our HOF coach coached up and turn into a winning unit? Yes." is pretzel logic at it's best. As if Roy couldn't have coached up more talented players.

I assume that logic applies to the football program as well. I guess the NCAA investigation/sanctions allowed Fed to sign "moldable, coachable players" as well. I guess he just couldn't "coach them up".

 

[coolwaterunc]

Theo needs to stop shooting threes.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Great stat... Since 2003, only one coach has won 3 nattys.

 

[coryfly]

Brooks is maybe a little too aggressive. Needs to work it inside out a little bit more considering where our strengths are.

 

[coryfly]

Whoever is guarding Thomas is getting worked these last few possessions.

 

[coryfly]

Maye just continues to be awesome.

 

[TarHeelMark]

I like Luke.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Maye just continues to be awesome.

Baller

 

[coryfly]

Bad decision on the great by Williams but he has played well.

 

[strummingram]

Luck-muthhuhfvckin-Maye

 

[coryfly]

Maye is just doing everything.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Gotta love that ball movement!

 

[coryfly]

Berry leaves and things spiral a bit.

 

[coryfly]

Well, pretty hectic and somewhat crappy end to the half. The defense at times was pretty lost. Flat out terrible at times. Without the rest for Berry we are probably up closer to 15 or 16 right now. Offense looked great at times. Our young bigs are going to hurt us at times but all show promise.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Dammit. Heels looking sloppy

 

[coolwaterunc]

Not impressed at all.

 

[gunslingerdick]

Roy is playing a lot of young guys. This is great development time. Game is going pretty much as I expected. Now, I'll be concerned if we can't just turn it on with 8 left and go on to win by 12-15 points. But I come to like Roy's style and his willingness to experiment early in the season. It's a great attribute of the program.

 

[coryfly]

Pretty terrible effort and execution in the second half so far.

 

[coryfly]

Getting killed from outside again.

 

[strummingram]

struggling at home against Bucknell... ouch

I hope your right g.

Joel, Luke and Theo need to show these young dudes how to get it done.

 

[toophly1124]

We’ll be fine. I’m not even sweating this game win/lose. This is all gravy baby.

 

[gunslingerdick]

I think we'll need a good seed for the tournament so a home loss to Bucknell won't look good but for the most part, I agree. Roy gonna Roy. It's become endearing to me at this point. We'll be at our best in March. We always are.

Of course. I’m a realist. Championships are hard to come by. Back 2 back almost unheard of. We lost our 3 inside guys. In other words my expectations for this year are low. Honest to god I’m just enjoying watching the guys play. My blood pressure agrees w me.

 

[toophly1124]

Manley making a case to be starting at some point this year.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Nice and 1 by Mr. Manley.

Time to crank up some defensive pressure.

 

[coryfly]

Seventh not making great decisions out there.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Theo doing Theo... up and under, then takes the charge.

 

[toophly1124]

Should have passed that back to Platek for the open trey. I was hoping anyway.

 

[toophly1124]

Dude doesn’t even need a left hand lol

 

[TarHeelMark]

Like you said tooph... this season is gravy. I won't lose any sleep if we don't win, but DAMMIT.... I want a W!

 

[coryfly]

Tough call on Theo there. Not sure how that dude signals hold when he had his hands straight up.

 

[toophly1124]

Like you said tooph... this season is gravy. I won't lose any sleep if we don't win, but DAMMIT.... I want a W!

Oh you damn right. I want a DUB EVERY game!

 

[coryfly]

Why is Felton getting so few minutes? He is better than Woods or Platek.

 

[toophly1124]

Roy gonna Roy.

 

[coryfly]

Please take Platek out and play Felton. Not critical of Roy much but this is absurd.

 

[TarHeelMark]

argh.... stumbling, bumbling, fumbling
