Stanford vs UNC game thread on: Saturday 17 January 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another west coast team comes to Chapel Hill and they bring a 7’1, 245 man child who is averaging close to the 20 point per game average and he possesses both an inside and outside game. They also have a ex Dukie sharpshooter who also scores in double digits.

Like the California game earlier in the week the game will come down to Carolina slowing down their star and if the Cardinals can somehow slow down the Tar Heels scoring on so many easy fast break baskets…

Washington and Lubin will have their hands full so I would not be surprised at all if Withers also sees some time in the paint because he also carries 245 pounds on his frame.

Most people have Carolina favored by 11 plus points but I do believe UNC will only prevail by 6 to 9 points…We will see

And ofc the first game goes to OT

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Clemson and Pittsburgh game is good but we want the Carolina game now

Clemson and Pittsburgh game is good but we want the Carolina game now

If they don't get this weather alert banner off the screen during our game I'm gonna get angry. I don't live in Ashe or Watagua counties. This banner is covering the score.

Was that Tar Heel John Henson calling their game

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

And of course the network has to get their commercials in as well

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ex Dukie young a jumper then Washington a bank shot 2-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Young a wide open corner three 5-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Two straight misses by Washington but Powell BOOM 5-5

 

[DaveChapelle]

3 shots for Washington. 3 bricks, 1 of which magically went in.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau a layup followed by Raynuld 7-7 with a left handed basket from inside the lane. Jackson called for charging at the first tv timeout

 

[gkss]

We have them not set and trotting back defensively and can take advantage with a secondary break but we don’t commit to it. EC just committed and got a layup.

 

[DaveChapelle]

One difference immediately noticeable between the Cal game and this game, Standford's center isn't really strong so Washington isn't getting thrown around when rebounds go up. Washington may already have matched his rebounding total from the Cal game.

 

[gkss]

3 shots for Washington. 3 bricks, 1 of which magically went in.

They’re good looks but he is falling away and is not balanced. He’s being tentative with the shot.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Raynuld follows his own layup miss 9-7 for thevCards

 

[al would]

Lubin can't handle Renault

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin and Trimble come in

 

[DaveChapelle]

Getting killed since Lubin came in

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Raynaud at the line drops two 11-7

 

[gkss]

Lubin can't handle Renault

No one player we have can handle him- gonna take a collective defensive effort.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin from Jackson in close 11-9

 

[al would]

bad foul called on drake

 

[DaveChapelle]

No fouls on Stanford yet

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Obvious travel not called as Opaka hits one ft 12-9

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble BOOM from the right corner and Davis on the break BOOM from the top of the Key 15-12

 

[DaveChapelle]

3 pointers are so important to this team

 

[gkss]

Man we’re soo much better when we play team defense and push tempo!

 

[DaveChapelle]

Obvious travel not called as Opaka hits one ft 12-9

Ball don't lie on that FT miss

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

bad foul called on drake

Should not have been a foul as Opaka definitely moved his pivot foot

 

[DaveChapelle]

Man we’re soo much better when we play team defense and push tempo!

And make shots

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Smith a long three then Davis knocked down before foul called 15-15

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Lubin slam from Davis and travel called on the big from Stanford. Cadeau fouled on a drive drops 2 from the line 19-15

 

[al would]

need to get wash back in for D

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice drive by Blake and a hoop, Withers one ft 20-17

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington has had some good looks

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis from Cadeau on a running layup 22-17

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington from Davis for a layup but Blake with a three 24-19

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Defense very solid so far

 

[DaveChapelle]

2 fouls on Cadeau.

5 bricks for Washington.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington has had some good looks

And he's bricked all of them except a layup. He's rebounding well, but he's not making a damn thing. So he needs to stop shooting the ball.
