OOTB Carolina Basketball Discussion Thread

Luke Maye goes from hero to zero faster than any player I can remember
Haha so true. Not entirely his fault though. He just can't go to the hole aggressively enough to either score or draw a foul. He needs to utilize the rumored Roy approach of layup rather than dunk, IMO.

Can't believe we were +4 with a lineup of Williams, Robinson, Jackson, Meeks, and... help me out? That was pretty impressive.
 
Can we please temporarily tattoo "2s Won't Beat Us" on our player's foreheads? I swear. Do not fall for ball fakes or dribble drives. Stay out on your man. A 2 is fine.

My first half thoughts:
- I like that the refs are letting them play.
- Either Meeks isn't getting open enough, or we're just not looking to him enough. He's been virtually a non-factor.
- Jackson is an assassin.
- Berry needs to wake TF up or we won't win this game.
- LOVE the effort of the bench guys.
 
But seriously, what the fukk is wrong with those managers or whoever they are. They're at a dead sprint at half court while Berrys 3/4 shot was still in the air. The half isn't even over and they're halfway to the locker room

Agreed. Without Berry playing well in the 2nd half, they'll pull away.
 
Not watching ...
That was the joke.

In all seriousness, I've never understood your self-imposed Carolina-Duke exile. The Duke game is one of the most exciting parts of being a Carolina basketball fan. Yeah, most have been agonizing lately, but still exciting. Way more exciting than any other non-Sweet 16 or later game.
 
What's the over/under on how many Dook "fans" know what a zone defense is? My God what a collection of dorks.

I will watch when the game is in Chapel Hill, but I will never watch a dook game at cameroon. I've seen enough of those cheer-sheet reading ******s to last a lifetime.
I record it and watch if we win; delete if we lose. Much better for my mental health...

But hope you guys are enjoying the show, and cheer us on to victory.

The pain of watching the losses against them makes the wins even more enjoyable. But that's just my opinion! We all have our methods of madness. Go where you go and do what you do.

I will say this now (because I can admit it right now but might not be able to admit it later, depending on the outcome), but this has been a great game so far. Excellent offensive play, some great defensive plays, some highlight plays. It's got everything.
