Roy makes me chuckle. Cam hits 3-4 shots in a row. "Sit ya ass!". Jalek playing absolutely beautiful. "Sit ya ass!". I know he has his reasons and yes it was time for Joel to come back in but it still makes me laugh. Whenever he pulls a guy that's on fire I imagine Roy sayin "Who you think you are MJ?! Sit ya ass!".
I still want to see jalek and Joel on the floor at the same time
Cam's passing has been impressive. Seems to have great vision n awareness.
ETA. He seems to have the jumping ability of Meeks though.

I could only watch updates to halftime on my phone while taxiing to the runway... Minnesota bound.
Just landed and saw the final... very relieved. Saw the scoring stats in the first half, had to do a double take.

Didn't get to see the game live but just finished watching. It was sorta ugly early with the turnovers. Still not getting much from the bigs, which is concerning. If we can hit 3's like we did today, then we can win a lot of games. But we all know how that goes... live & die by the 3.
Glad to see Jalek playing better. And Cam was nice coming off the bench.
All things considered that was a good win. But man was that arena nearly empty or what?

Finally watching the game and I thought the first ten minutes were really good. Pinson missed a layup that was a good shot. Berry and Kenny both had threes that were in and out. Johnson looked fantastic. Thought they came out solid after that terrible loss. Inside presence was nonexistent but that is going to be the case a lot this year against good teams. Going to have to simply make outside shots.
Watched the final ten of the first half. I know Kenny didn't take many shots and only made one but he does everything pretty well. He just always does what he is supposed to do. Felton's shot is great, nice and soft and I like he is confident. He has no clue at all on defense though. Help or on the ball he just struggles. It is like he has never been taught how to play D in his life.
Not sure at all how Roy is going to deal with the minutes as the year goes on but have the confidence he does. Robinson and Platek really probably shouldn't get a ton but they need to play some. Berry, Williams, Pinson, Johnson, Maye, and Felton (to an extent) should get a lot of time. Brooks and Manley should get plenty. After that in tough games PT should be limited. There is a lot of depth but not a ton of quality depth yet because of the youth.

They could have dropped us more. Wins over Tennessee and Ohio State cushioned that fall a bit.
Probably a little too high to begin with. And it wouldn't be a Roy coached team without a WTF conference loss, so get ready for it.
Those wins should have cushioned our fall, both were quality wins. I think we’re ranked about where we should be.
I think it’s a good humility check too. Not every day one loss drops you that many spots.
Side note. I read where we just signed a Home n home w Wofford. Any truth?
I just hope the freshman
I don't think UNC is a Top 10 team just yet.
Nor do I. But we could be at the end of the season if things shake out correctly.
They look pretty good most games. I'm enjoying watching the team. But, the missing pieces from last year are visible.
Nice story that dispels the myth that Coach K is the devil.

That was nice for him to do. You didn't want to let the fine folks on radar know about it?
Well... in the documentary, or 30 for 30, about him and NCSU, K comes off as some pivotal role in the guy's life. I never knew if it was him grandstanding for himself, or what.
Hmmmm.... K grandstanding? Why who would EVER believe such a thing?
K promotes himself way more than Roy or Dean ever did.
It has felt to me like we're shooting a LOT of 3-pointers this season. Turns out it really hasn't been much different than what we did last season. Here are the percentages of shot attempts:
2017-2018
2 point attempts: 69.5%
3 point attempts: 30.5%
2016-2017
2 point attempts: 69.7%
3 point attempts: 30.3%
2017-2018
2 point attempts: 69.5%
3 point attempts: 30.5%
2016-2017

3 point attempts: 30.3%
Their defense was solid. They had open shots but didn't make them. Hopefully that changes in the second half. My biggest concern is if Theo is ok after that nasty fall late in the first half.
Watching the game on my phone in Minneapolis airport. Seems to be a slight lack of intensity. But, still up by 5 at half.
