UCLA vs UNC--Saturday 19 December game thread

[jah420]

Then again, if we are gonna play like this, maybe I don't like these jerseys.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Britt playing good d on hamilton. Berry is the entire offense so far. Nothing from James, Johnson Britt so far. Cannot make a three or win a game shooting a awful 25 percent from the floor. Johnson must be in the dog house again.

 

[goheels653]

Berry has kept us in this game so far.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

James and Johnson back in the game and the lead is down to 28-23 after a Johnson bank and Jackson layup

 

[WoadBlue]

We run a perfect fast break for 2, and Alford immediately calls TO to prevent us from getting into a rhythm.

If UCLA runs 4 perfect offensive sets in succession, Roy will wait for the TV timeout.

 

[tarh33ls]

It's like the Maryland game, once the 3s stop dropping we can hurt them. Some of these are just tough shots dropping

 

[tarh33ls]

The D has really ramped up, glad to see it

 

[BillyL]

Way to fight back, Tar Heels . . !

 

[coryfly]

Some good stuff from Brice. Their big guy Welsh is in foul trouble but Parker fouls way more than him but gets the benefit of the doubt.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnsons block and left handed layup gets Carolina within 5 again.

 

[Heelicious]

Its a regular pushing jamboree free for all for UCLA under the glass on rebounds now. Bout time they called one. We need to go inside to Brice with Walsh on the bench with 3 fouls.

 

[coryfly]

C'mon, Theo. Could have cut the lead to one there.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson again from in close 33-32

 

[gteeitup]

this is tough to watch because of these uniforms...i literally keep forgetting carolina is in black b/c ucla owns some.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Just now able to get logged in to watch. Loving the uniforms. Loving the intensity that seems to have ramped up since the beginning. GO HEELS!

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Wellll...UCLA is definitely better than they were last year.

 

[tarh33ls]

Miracle shot again at the buzzer. Can't complain we have shot the 3 horribly and are even. Got to get a better play in at the end of the half. Recurring theme.

 

[jah420]

Loved that we fought back! Gotta keep the intensity in the 2nd half!

 

[tarh33ls]

Just hit a few 3s in the second half and keep up the intensity. Brice was our best player that half

 

[coryfly]

Seems like every time we get to a late half situation Britt takes some ridiculous forced shot. Why is the ball in his hands there. Great job fighting back though. Hopefully they will cool off and we can wear then down some.

 

[berens007]

Just hit a few 3s in the second half and keep up the intensity. Brice was our best player that half

Yep great to get to the tie. If we keep feeding Brice and hit a few from outside we should be in good shape. What a half by him

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

38-38 at the half as Johnson goes off and Britt only allows a last second basket to Alford for his only points in the last 7 minutes. Carolina's defense in the last 5 minutes of the half sparked the comeback. UCLA has two starting forwards with three fouls which helped Johnson take over late. Pinson and Britt were great on Hamilton in the last 10 minutes.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Meanwhile, dook and Utah are headed to overtime tied at 60.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

If Berry, Jackson or Paige could hit a three it would really open up the inside for Johnson and company. Got to like Berry attacking the hole a couple of times.

 

[soap - new and improved]

Some good stuff from Brice. Their big guy Welsh is in foul trouble but Parker fouls way more than him but gets the benefit of the doubt.

Yep, did you see him Bulldoze Theo out of great position to grab an O Board with no call?

38-38 at the half as Johnson goes off and Britt only allows a last second basket to Alford for his only points in the last 7 minutes. Carolina's defense in the last 5 minutes of the half sparked the comeback. UCLA has two starting forwards with three fouls which helped Johnson take over late. Pinson and Britt were great on Hamilton in the last 10 minutes.

Is this true? ESPN has one Welsh with 3 and Parker with 2

 

[tarh33ls]

One of Paige or Jackson will wake up this half, hopefully both.

 

[tarh33ls]

Right on cue Justin

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson a corner three

 

[tarh33ls]

Joel is playing really well to start this half! Quiet the haters!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

46-38 UNC

 

[coryfly]

They need to make Welsh a driver.

 

[coryfly]

Tough call there. Looked liked it was all ball.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Got to make Alford go to his left 46-42

 

[tarh33ls]

Horrible call he hooked Hicks there I really don't think that was a foul but maybe I missed it.

 

[coryfly]

See if we can maintain with Britt in. Nice drive form the little guy there but he can not leave him to help. Do not leave Alford ever.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Have to quit the over helping! They've gotten 6 easy points this half from it!

 

[tarh33ls]

wow

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

50-47 with 16 minutes to go. James rewarded for running the court with a flush and a free throw. Berry and Britt score going to the hole. Paige having a tough day scoring but he has been terrific on d.

 

[tarh33ls]

Calling every ticky tack foul now
