UNC @ Kansas game thread

[NathanFielder]

Kansas up 27-20 midway 1H.

Takeaways:
- Dickinson having his way as expected
- Transition D with the second unit has been a problem
- UNC has gotten a couple of layups off makes so clearly running has been an emphasis
- Powell and Jackson have made a FG

A general opinion. If Cadeau is on the floor without RJ, EC needs to look to score more.

Game seems a little big early for the second unit.

 

[NathanFielder]

Cade Tyson misses his first shot by 2 feet, lol.

Then that bad shot leads to Withers committing a second foul.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Guards good
Bigs bad

 

[DaveChapelle]

Cade Tyson misses his first shot by 2 feet, lol.

Followed by Withers' 2nd dumb foul in the first 9 minutes

 

[JDisaheelfan]

Zero defense on either end. 30 points in 10 minutes is pathetic.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Tyson blows it on defense, wide open 3 for Kansas.

Looks like he just got benched for Powell.

 

[NathanFielder]

Dickinson picked up his second foul on a rather weak call.

 

[JDisaheelfan]

Seth misses a wide open one, and they hit one. 6 point swing. Sigh

 

[DaveChapelle]

So I guess the shotclock operator is just going to keep turning the shotclock off when we're trying to run in transition?

 

[DaveChapelle]

Also our front court is embarrassing. We might as well just play 5 guards. Absolutely ridiculous we couldn't afford an impact big man this summer.

 

[ChrisMPA]

i have seen this shit show before

 

[DaveChapelle]

i have seen this shit show before

I haven't. When was the last time our front court was this small and weak?

 

[DaveChapelle]

Can anyone explain to me why we don't get Washington any jumpshots?

 

[ChrisMPA]

final four 40 - 12

 

[DaveChapelle]

Claude immediately puts Dickinson at the line

 

[big_deez]

Is it about to get really ugly?This is definitely a tough one to watch.

 

[ChrisMPA]

and a five second call

 

[dtodd4475]

I've always liked KJ Adams. Doing everything on our front line, inside or out.

 

[JDisaheelfan]

We are going to be a fun team to watch this year with our backcourt. But that frontcourt isn’t going to get us any wins that really matter, including this one

 

[DaveChapelle]

Our frontcourt sucks.

Our NIL simply let Coach Davis down.

End of story.

 

[dtodd4475]

Kansas has a great balanced roster.

 

[ChrisMPA]

hope for halftime magic

 

[dtodd4475]

Can anyone explain to me why we don't get Washington any jumpshots?

He has to move?

 

[DaveChapelle]

Terrible 1st half for Trimble

 

[JDisaheelfan]

3-17 for RJ, EC, Seth. All you need to know.

 

[TarHeelFanWV]

Is this the Alabama game on repeat for RJ Davis?

 

[CarolinaMagic]

Hubert and Carolina basketball are both a joke. I’m not going to call names but u know who you are. Jalen Washington is no more a starting caliber center at Carolina than I am. Our portal additions are beyond putrid. Roy and the alumni got what they wanted. Let’s see how long they can stand the losing.

 

[big_deez]

Sure would be nice to have Armando for one more year heh

 

[dtodd4475]

With Tyson looking like a miss, we have no shooters who can get their look except RJ, and a tiny frontline. Redundant pieces. Role players except for EC and RJ.

 

[TarHeelFanJ]

we have nobody good over 6’6”

 

[heels05champs]

Whatever Carolina spent on Tyson should have been used on a true center. Tyson looks completely lost at this level of basketball.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Portal is the difference

 

[JDisaheelfan]

We scored 38 points. That’s fine.

Giving up 53 in a half is terrible. Inexcusable. Can’t guard, can’t win.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Whatever Carolina spent on Tyson should have been used on a true center. Tyson looks completely lost at this level of basketball.

He does look scared

 

[DaveChapelle]

Our top portal pickup, Cade Tyson, is already in danger of falling out of the rotation. Tonight Withers and Powell were the first two guys to play the PF spot. Tyson came in, airballed a jumpshot, stunk on defense, and immediately got benched.

This is why Hubert was chewing out donors a week ago. Our NIL stinks. Our NIL is the reason our frontcourt is so putrid this season. And guess what? Next season will be worse across the whole roster.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Portal is the difference

NIL is the difference

 

[dtodd4475]

Hopefully kids step up. If you are playing 10 or 11 it's because you don't have a legit 8/9. Can't do it. If you have 2 quarterbacks it's because you don't have a true 1. It's early, really interesting who will step up, but a lot of redundant pieces.

 

[heels05champs]

Portal is the difference

Yeah, pretty much. KU bought players and got better. Carolina had a huge need and didn’t fill it.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

It’s a road game early versus the best team in the nation if this was a home game Heels would be down 6-8 points

 

[slothrop8]

Nice couple minutes from Brown. Maybe he gets a chance and flashes? We need a big to emerge - hope he turns out to be a raw hidden gem..
