OOTB Carolina Basketball Discussion Thread

I'm not even reading the responses in this thread.

There is nothing that I saw tonight that makes me think duke is better than we are or that they are better built for a run to a title than we are. They shot the lights out. That's their m.o....at home...especially against us. We'll beat them soundly at our place. We'll lose only one more game (at UVa), and we'll share the regular season championship with FSU but get the #1 seed.

Good game to duke. They shot well and we didn't make as many outside shots. We missed Hicks and I do think he would have softened things up a little but not sure he gets us the win. They just shot it well. I'm looking forward to the rematch.
Damn dude. I wish I had the ability to calmly analyze that 15 minutes after that loss.
 
Just for whatever reason, Roy cannot beat Duke. I know that isn't the ultimate goal but holy shit it would be nice to at least go .500 against them.

And this decade it was entirely possible. But we've lost at least 4-5 games off the top of my head we should have won but didn't because we couldn't close it out.

The majority of our tourney wins this decade were from last year. The more we lose to these chuckleheads (eh?:D) and the more Roy keeps being outrecruited, the more I think the time is nearing where he needs to go. Not now, but soon.

This game means more to Duke than UNC. You can see it.
Roy views our "rival" as NCSU, which is to no surprise why we dominate them.

UNC fans care more about the Dook game than the UNC team does. It sucks, but it's reality.
Rivalry games mean more to fans than they do to players on any team, in almost all cases. The fans have been cheering for their team their entire life and have a lifetime of built-up hatred in the rivalry. Players just got to that school 1-3 years ago and often are from different states.

I'll just stick with GFY, but thanks.
 
Year in and year out Kay kicks roys ass and Roy SEEMS ok w that. I'm disgusted but not the least bit surprised.

Ya, it chaps me when Roy seems all "aww shucks" after a disheartening loss.

This pisses me off so much. Hello, Duke is the team we need to play all out to beat - not ****ing State who we could beat with the damn freshmen playing the whole game. I realize the tournament is all that really matters, and I'm sick of getting bent out of shape in any regular season game in any sport since they don't matter, but for ****s sake if you can get determined to beat state you should be able to for Duke too.

That said, other than his usual head scratching lineups for a few minutes there and refusal of timeouts to stop runs, this one wasn't all on Roy. Need to shoot FTs better and guard 3s better - granted, the focus on both of those really comes down to coaching.
 
Toophy ..... nooooooooooooooo. 50 to 1 is HORRIBLE. You are making a good point, but those odds are NOT in your favor bro. Not even close.
 
Holy crap -- you guys are in complete meltdown mode. Breathe. ****, what am I thinking....?

I agree. They made a ton of threes. We missed a bunch of FTs. We got road Berry instead of home Berry. We didn't have Hicks. Rebounding was the biggest problem in the game. However, I think it is pretty clear UNC is better. I think that will bear out when we have everyone playing.

I'm pretty thrilled at the way Theo looked tbh.
