I anticipated a loss and possibly a beat down but seeing Carolina play with more urgency and energy would be been nice. Some guys are either playing scared or unmotivated. Defensively on the perimeter we’ve got to be better.

Won't shock me at all to see Hubert shrink his rotation again. Tyson is already on the verge of falling out of the rotation. Claude and Brown only play when the other bigs are in foul trouble.
It's just amazing how much different this team would look had we bought Danny Wolf, whose asking price was a bargain compared to the other bigs in the portal.
Is this UNC team just one quality big man short of an ncaa tourney team? I know it's very early and based on what we've seen so far, how likely is it these guys will not make the tourney? Not trolling but maybe just enjoy the season watching the young guys mature and hope a big man miraculously arrives for next season? I don't know
They could have easily called 5 fouls on him already. He was putting 2 hands in the back of a KU player every time they shot the ball, dunked the ball, or went after a rebound.
Great for down the road. We need a core 8 of Dawgs. I doubt he is one for this year. For all the Dean and Roy talk of death, look at the minutes. The DAWGS played huge minutes, others gave short rests. We have 1 DAWG, and 1 possible. Can't win like that at Dean/Roy levels. Can be dangerous though.
I would think so to, but from the very small sample of games and what we've seen, I think it's a legit question. You are right though, missing on a big is an obvious problem, exposed big time tonight.
All the good teams have shrunk rotations. Hubert will shrink it, but will he have 8 quality to man it?
Hate to bring it up but I have Dickinson with 6 fouls at this mome
can we pick one up before the trade deadline? I figure since these guys are all “under contract” and getting paid there should be the ability to trade mid season! Imagine what that would bring.
We could hypothetically buy a top 2025 big man, get him to graduate early with online classes, and have him enroll in time to play for spring semester.
But we'd need a big time NIL to make that happen. And we don't have that.
At least the team is showing some energy and effort in the second half so far. RJ shooting a pretty poor percentage through the first two games.
Win or lose, guys are showing some heart
Heck of an effort in the second half. Proud of their fight back.
Withers playing a strong 2nd half after a bad 1st half.
RJ just can't make anything from the field.

Just got to the tv and seems it was bad early on but let’s find a way here to break their hearts
