Pittsburgh at UNC game thread—Saturday 8 Feb 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

No room for mistakes today as the season is on the line.,Everybody needs to step up and play with pride and passion: Game on ESPNU at 4

 

[DSouthr]

Yeah ID, this is a HUGE game that should not be as huge as it now is. This teams back is against the wall, they simply can not come out playing un-inspired lacking intensity. Would be a great time for Tar Heel fans to as one begin to lift this team up rather than continue to beat them down.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pittsburgh is really big as they have 10 players over 6’6 and 5 of those 10 players are 6’10 or taller. Dealing with tall teams is Carolina’s biggest problem all season long…

I like to look at the scoring in quarters, each 10min segment as a qtr. 20pts a qtr is my mark of a solid qtr, We scored a total of 21pts in that second half vs Pitt the first time. 10pts a qtr, 20 for a half is just not acceptable offense for any team.

So we've been relegated to ESPNU prime time Saturday afternoon huh. Speaks volumes for where this program is.

We were playing on ESPNU on Saturdays during every season we reached the Final Four in the past decade plus.

Heck, I used to have to go to a friend's house to watch the Hansbrough teams play on ESPNU. That was literally the peak of UNC basketball success.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau, Davis, Lubin starters

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lowe. Long three followed by a Trimble BOOM from the corner 3-3

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams turnovers

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin from Cadeau and a ft 6-3

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin from Cadeau again and Lubin from Davis on a great bounce pass 10-3

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin from Jackson this time 12-3 but then Corhem a short hoop and Lowe again from downtown and Corhem a offensive board and basket and Trimble from Jackson matched by a Leggett jumper 14-12

 

[DaveChapelle]

We needed to take a foul and get to the TV timeout about 2 minutes ago. Our defense has really fallen off these past few possessions.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington and Powell now in

 

[DaveChapelle]

Withers checks in and immediately does something stupid

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis forces a long shot but it is a BOOM then Leggett a hoop and Davis again 20-14

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers a tremendous block in the paint on Zack Austin at the tv timeout break

 

[tarwhiz]

Like to see Drake effect some shots from the 3 spot. Let's use our size while they are in the game

 

[tarwhiz]

We are playing NORTH SOUTH much better today

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a layup on a goal tending call 22-14

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Powell a medium range basket 24-14 then Love and Davis exchange headcbutts

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lowe too quick for withers and he drops one from the line 24-15

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Tyson in for Withers and Powell a layup from Cadeau 26-15. Carolina picking up a bunch of fouls and Lowe scores from the left again. May need to put Trimble on him

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Pitts giraffe falls over in front of Cadeau who, of course, get whistled for the foul🙄

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Corhem a dunk matched by a Trimble tap in 28-19

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin follows up his own shot 30-19

 

[NorCalTarheel]

GREAT ball movement but Trimble comes up short.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

RJ tries to shoot over Yao Ming and gets it blocked (Surprise surprise)

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson has yet to score and he shoots a brick from the corner

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Corhem 2 fts 30-21

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina continues to foul

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Sure would like to see Hubert get into the refs a little bit. We are getting hosed on some shitty calls

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cummings at the line drops one and another Carolina foul 30-22

 

[DaveChapelle]

Jackson and Trimble just wasting possessions by forcing things.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dunn at the line hits two more for the Panthers 30-24. Seems like every game UNC’s opponents are shooting twice as many free throws as the Tar Heels. I do not believe that Cadeau, Jackson snd Washington have scored yet

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson another brick

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Guillermo Diaz Graham a three from straight out forces a Carolina timeout. With Cadeau on the bench Pitt has scored the last eight points no make that ten 30-29

 

[Oak ridger]

Just came in from the course-wow UNC in winning. Time for the back 9. UNC has this game locked up.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble another tip in but Cummings ties the game with a long three 32-32

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington is completely lost out there.

Jackson has really hurt us today.
