Syracuse at UNC game thread Monday 29 Feb 2016--senior night

[imajericho]

Lot of offensive fouls being called 38-34 for the good guys at the half. No Johnson, Hicks, Meeks or James on the court in the last minute of play. I can understand Johnson and Hicks who both have 2 fouls but why no Meeks or James. That was a head scratcher...

Roy is increasingly liking Maye. I think he seems him more a smaller stretch Zeller. Catch how they tried to throw over the defense to a streaking Maye last game? That was a Zeller play.

 

[jah420]

Sorry but a Maye 3 point shot should never be the look we settle for to end the half.

 

[coryfly]

Is there a reason Meeks got taken out after a steal and score and a near steal on the sideline?

I hope we can keep this shooting... But we'll need to get the ball inside in all likelihood. Cuse made some adjustments to the zone. Hopefully they'll lift the zone a little due to our shooting, but they may just expect us to cool off.

Unless he was tired it made no sense. Kid needs a confidence boost and finally does some good things and gets pulled, unless Roy wanted to tell him that. I don't know.

Roy is trolling us all for some reason. I can only hope it is a good reason.

 

[Archer2]

Why does Meeks virtually go on his hands & knees every time he gets the ball!!! The basket is up, not down!

He constantly brings the ball down to his waist and it leads to blocked shots more often than not. Very bad habit for a big man.

Isaiah with two quick fouls, once again.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson opens up from line and hits 1 39-34

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson on a breakout 41-34 from Jackson

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another offensive call on the Q

 

[toophly1124]

Did Roy watch the halftime show?

 

[Archer2]

29-2 paint points in favor of UNC.

Now everybody is trying to coach our team. Geez.

 

[coryfly]

Refs going opposite of first half.

C'mon brice

 

[UNC71-00]

29-2 paint points in favor of UNC.

Now everybody is trying to coach our team. Geez.

Just wish Roy would try too instead of lineup by blind draw

 

[tarh33ls]

Getting opportunities but not taking advantage

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

5 fouls on the Q already

 

[strummingram]

Ever notice how almost every shot inside the 3 is too hard?

 

[coryfly]

Last two fouls cost us points, haha

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks a slam after a bullet Pass from Paige and UNC now up six at 43-37,

 

[coryfly]

Paige being a playmaker for sure this game. That is what we need. Paige making plays and Berry shooting.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Really good floor game from Paige. 6 assists, 0 turnovers. He's probably had 2 additional hockey assists.

Once again, your basketball ignorance is apparent.

Need Paige scoring points.

 

[coryfly]

Need Paige scoring points.

I would love to see him score. He is giving us points either way though

 

[BillyL]

Thats it exactly, Cory . . !

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Silly turnovers

 

[coryfly]

C'mon Berry. No way that had a chance

 

[imajericho]

Surprised it too so long for them to warn Brice. Last in bounds both feet were over the line.

 

[coryfly]

JJ so smart them old school Paige comes back.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks from Jackson and then Paige coast to coast which leads to a Q timeout as lead grows to ten

 

[tarh33ls]

Nice stretch guys, great job Marcus

 

[coryfly]

Surprised it too so long for them to warn Brice. Last in bounds both feet were over the line.

Haha, he does it all the time.

 

[UNC71-00]

Once again, your basketball ignorance is apparent.

GET BACK EVERYONE. THE SHERRIF OF RADAR IS BACK IN TOWN.

and I'm fairly certain I know more about basketball (and other sports played by UNC- you know we have more than just basketball, right?) than you could ever learn

Did you happen to see how the game has been going with our best players on the floor?

 

[BillyL]

The Marcus of old going from end to end . . he is so smooth with the ball in his hands in the open court.

 

[Archer2]

Paige being a playmaker for sure this game. That is what we need. Paige making plays and Berry shooting.

I would love to see him score. He is giving us points either way though

With Paige's inconsistent shot, l have no problem with him being the primary ballhandler and JOel playing more off guard. None at all. Perhaps that's what we need to get Marcus going.

 

[Ozheelfan]

Really good floor game from Paige. 6 assists, 0 turnovers. He's probably had 2 additional hockey assists.

And a couple of blown assists... Brice has missed at least one easy lay-in.

 

[ChiShankCity]

Love that Roy didn't make any subs during that first four minutes. No need to worry about fatigue after Cuse called a TO during the stretch too. Brice getting a couple big time traffic defensive rebounds.

 

[BillyL]

Dayum . . . Up by 13 now.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

48-37 after Paige finishes 3 point play the Berry picks up a loose ball and scores 50-39

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Still having game called tight

 

[coryfly]

Bad misses by hicks and an awful call lead to Bruce's third

 

[tarh33ls]

Missed FTs bother me so much
