With the NCAA bubble getting closer to bursting, UNC hosted Miami with a chance to get a quality win to build to a very weak tournament resume. With the game essentially knotted at the half, UNC game out of the locker room and put on another abysmal performance.
For the game UNC shot 16% from 3, the 6th percentile, and jacked up 47% of their shots from there. Thankfully UNC was 69% from inside the arc, the 21st best shooting performance inside the arc since 1996. UNC also took care of the ball reasonably well. It resulted in a poor 0.88 points per possession performance on offense. UNC also got a 2 possession rebounding advantage.
The cardinal sign that this offense is broken? 0.21 assists/FGM. Only THREE TIMES in the last 984 games has UNC shared the ball more poorly. They've only had 52 performances of worse 3-point shooting.
Defensively they had no answer for Miami all game long, allowing Miami to score 1.00 points per possession despite only shooting 46% from the floor overall.
I was thinking that after the psychological meltdown last weekend, we'd see that the coaching staff had tuned up this offense and gotten them focused on running a team game. The second half showed us that this team and its coaches really didn't learn anything from last week. I would like to ask any of the coaches why, when the team is shooting its nearly all-time highest inside the arc and one of the program's worst games outside the arc, are they still forcing the 3 by taking almost half of their shots from there?
I just don't think this group of players is ever going to figure it out. Their post-season lives are on the line and they still can't recognize why. Their offensive and defensive points per possession are almost exactly equal to last season's team, but they are trending downward this season. I think we are realizing more and more that last season's March run was just a magic miracle a la the 2000 run.
