Pitt - UNC Tar Heels Game Thread

Boom. Homeschool with the nice breakout and dish to Marcus for the throwdown, then the pretty 3.
 
32-24 with 4 minutes till the half. Pitt getting a ton of second chances. Refs letting both teams play without getting to busy with their whistles
 
Great. Here's the " let them back in the game" lineup. I hate it. We were up by 13 with the ball. With this lineup we'll be lucky to have a lead at half.
 
. . and Isaiah is our most improved free throw shooter on the team.
 
What is Luke Maye doing in the game for 2 possessions. Makes zero sense to me. How can anyone expect him to be in a flow, or add anything?
 
Way too many offensive rebounds for them. They outrebounded us, including 7 - 1 in offensive rebounds, which led them to getting up 7 more shots than us. Other than that, all other parts of our game looked pretty good.
 
42-29 at the half as Carolina has played as good offensively as they have all season. Coach Williams cut down the rotation to basically just 8 as James only got 2 minutes and Maye just 1 minute. Team looks focused and other than giving up too many offensive rebounds UNC looks solid with Jackson leading the way with several long bombs and a couple of Magic Johnson type passes for layups.
 
Been posting on the other game thread. But GREAT half by the Heels. And it started on the defensive end. Getting turnovers and getting out and run. Starting 5 playing really well together today. With JJ leading the way. Was great to see Roy put out a team on the court the last 3 of players that should be on the court. JJ,Johnson, Paige,Britt,and Hicks. And build a double digit lead. Let's hope they keep up the energy the second half!!!! Go Heels!!! But do need to rebound better.
 
Has Young had a shot today where he did not push off to get space to make it? Usually it is his forearm but occasionally he even uses his hand.
 
48-38 at the 16 minute tv timeout as UNC has gone cold thanks to silly turnovers but 2 Panther starters on 2 straight unforced offensive fouls are now forced to sit with 3 fouls.
 
Seems like Pitt is pushing off on almost every offensive play. Finally the refs are seeing what I've seen all day. Young especially pushing off on every offensive move
