Pitt - UNC Tar Heels Game Thread

[toophly1124]

Hicks seems to never miss from the line

Breath of fresh air isn't it?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina cannot get a board

 

[coryfly]

Offensive boards are killing us. That is the downside to hicks.

 

[strummingram]

lack of rebounds are killing us

 

[BillyL]

: smiles ;

 

[toophly1124]

Damn it that was a fun stretch of basketball right there! Paige is the man!

 

[strummingram]

Bam-Bam... back up by 14

 

[coryfly]

Great look from Paige followed by a nice steal and break. Keep up the pressure.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Paige a great Pass 52-41 and then Paige BOOM from the left elbow after a Pass from Pinson 55-41.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Marcus!!!

 

[Heelicious]

Whoa! Great couple of trips by Marcus on both ends. Pretty unorthodox on that 3 but we'll take it.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks scores 57-41

 

[toophly1124]

Another push off on Pitt and Britt gets the foul called on him SMH

 

[JP4UNC]

Nate's chest just fouled his forearm

 

[coryfly]

Strong board from Berry and then great D from Britt goes unrewarded as he is whistled.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

12 minutes to go still 57-41 as Carolina's 2nd unit has put the clamps on Pitt's offense

 

[Heelicious]

Right there was the epitome of MAJOR BS in the college game. Nate - not a great defender - but he played that PERFECT. If that's a foul on him, there is NOTHING a defender can do, nothing, to stop the dribble drive. I hate it.

 

[berens007]

as a bonus it appears that was called a shooting foul. It is like they want to make the call as over the top ridiculous as possible

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Unlike the first half the whistles have been working overtime this half

 

[toophly1124]

As many push offs as I'm seeing on Pitts O maybe that's how they've been out rebounding us ..haven't paid that much attention to it but makes sense

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson a short jumper 59-41 Young now with 4 fouls

 

[coryfly]

Got lucky on that charge.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks from Johnson 61-41

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson on the break 63-44

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another rebound leads to another three by Pittsburgh 63-47

 

[coryfly]

Great game so far except for the defensive boards. Consistent issue that isn't going away.

 

[strummingram]

This half is taking forever

 

[coryfly]

Goodness gracious. They have to have 7 or 8 ORs this half.

 

[Heelicious]

well some of the O rebounding is Pitt getting away with pushoffs like that possession right there. Still, have to be stronger.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry on the line hits 2 65-47 but Pittsburgh pounds the boards again and gets fouled. Someone has to help Johnson on the glass because it is like 1 against 4. Don't know if Jackson or Meeks have been credited with a board yet.

 

[UNC71-00]

I would love to see how well we rebound when fat Meeks is in the game vs. when he is not. He is not good on the boards, and I am guessing vertical jump has something to do with that.

 

[toophly1124]

I think we're limited somewhat on rebounds bc Meeks can't jump and Justin doesn't really crash the boards that hard so that leaves Brice as the main dude vs 3 of their guys going at it

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson again 67-47

 

[Heelicious]

Goodness gracious. They have to have 7 or 8 ORs this half.

9 this half. 16-1 overall. Nice

 

[UNC-75]

Love the effort.
Wonder why our guards don't throw it into Brice early in the set. Seems like he's open early each set and I don't think he can be stopped by Pitt when he's close to the goal

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson yet again 69-47

 

[toophly1124]

Joel Berry has absolutely been great on the defense end ... He's pulled some rebounds amongst the trees

 

[strummingram]

23 transition points

 

[UNC-75]

A I'm proven correct with back to back Brice shots

 

[toophly1124]

Joel Berry is a filthy human being

 

[strummingram]

Were it not for the disparity in rebounds, we'd be up by 40 points.
