UNC at Pittsburgh game thread on: Tuesday 28 January 2025

What has he reported that was incorrect???Are you talking about @andrew jones being incorrect…
Kool I've provided DaveC with a direct link to the video Mr Jones published which basically put to rest this no NIL stuff. Twice DaveC has ignored it and not challenged the reporting by Mr. Jones. Now there is a major difference between having a huge, lack or no NIL $$ verses missmanaging and having tight purse strings. To be fair, I've tried to give DaveC respect here, you know, maybe his repeating NIL argument is really about mismanagement of funds and who is to blame, not necessarily missing or a lack of it. If that is the case he has a great point, just doesn't communicate it effectively. I would love for him to share why he thinks such, if he has credible, conflicting sources and info, it would be a MAJOR topic for Mr. Jones and team to dig the truth out of the allegedly "he said, she said" fans have watching for the past year. However could such reporting be a slippery slope? Think about it, getting to the truth, reporting and holding specific people or groups of people accountable is a tough business, hard to make friends with everyone... Sorry, back to DaveC. I know he has peeps on ignore but again, I and many others that still have patince, would like to see him respond to the reporting, not just call people trolls, liars and blatantly ignore legitimate challenges to his claims. I mean dude, let's engage in honest dialog. He hasn't responded to the many folks here that have shared Mr. Jones and team's work on NIL because he doesn't have enough to contradict the reporting. It's easier for him ignore direct challenges, slip, evade and of course, when arguments fall apart, start the name calling.

Yea I thought about it and said hell he want answer the ? Anyway so I just deleted it…IC was saying the same thing but walked it back after they missed on every Portal Guy we went after…Then Theo on his Pod Cast just taking up for Hubert…

All I know we are losing to teams that didn’t spend what UNC did on NIL and that is a fact…

Why "was" they? Drop out before you could take 3rd grade English?

Pitt changed their defense to counter Elliot's ability to get into the paint.

It's like you don't even have a clue what you're watching.

We countered by slipping Lubin to the basket (and Claude at least once.) It didn't work because Lubin can't catch the damn ball.
At the point where some begins to try and make fun of grammer or spelling you are now winning the debate.

Keep telling yourself that since you can't even identify simple offensive and defensive changes when they occur during the game.

"Uh, he pointed out my bad English. I must be winning the conversation!"
 
I’ve tried to sleep on it but still pissed this morning. This team and for most of Hubert’s teams seem to have very low Basketball IQs. But like last night how many times were we up and the ball was moving then we decided to go back to hero ball and one guy take on 3 guys or two guys. Like Davis took it into the trees at the end of the game twice. Once in double coverage and once in triple coverage. Almost every turnover seemed to turn into a fast break for them. EC dribbling between the legs in the paint in double coverage, TO, Jack dribbling between the legs in the paint into double or triple coverage, TO. Im tired of watching Seth (even if he makes it) on a fast break and he has 2 on 1 or 3 on 1, never gives the ball up and takes a difficult shot. Last night he had a couple. One at the end if he gives it up early they score. He realizes he’s screwed and then almost turns it over making a horrible pass. Can Davis just tell Lubin if you catch a pass that is not a simple layup or dunk pass it out. That guy has no moves or handles. I think every possession he had where he tried to make a move he turned it over.

I’m just tired of seeing UNC teams struggle. Theo saying it’s not Hubert. I know a lot is the players fault but have you ever heard the phrase Shadow of the Leader? I’m just tired of watching this team go through stretches of great team basketball then go Hero ball. It’s one thing to move the ball great then just miss a shot. But to stop moving the ball, it’s pretty easy to play D against that. I think almost all those possession led to points for them.

Well I have to be honest this was pretty much what I was going to say. After thinking about it over night and getting more ticked about the abundance of boneheaded plays I’m not sure who is to blame. I know for sure I’ve witnessed so many questionable coaching decisions that it makes me wanna scream. It’s hard to believe someone could play for the greatest coach ever and be an assistant for a hall of famer and make some of the blunders we have seen. Now we all know how bad the ball was dropped when it came to the offseason and the lack of NIL so there’s no argument there. My biggest concern/fear is can it be we have been saddled with so many guys who lack the necessary basketball IQ to play at a high level and at a prestigious university like Carolina? I know I have questioned this before and so have many on this board. I know some of the players whether current or past are guys who definitely never deserved to have the honor to put on that North Carolina jersey and that again goes back to the coaches who recruited them.

So to kinda sum it up bad coaching or low basketball IQ? Either way this is very embarrassing and not the “Carolina” way.
