UNC versus Elon Game Thread

[NorCalTarheel]

awesome

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Not feeling the whole "team" offense or defense thing

 

[heels05champs]

Post play is pretty concerning as most of us anticipated it could be.

 

[notashelbyfan]

I said months ago, we will be a middle of the road ACC team battling the bubble pressure in March if Withers is our starting 5.

First game or not this is concerning!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

It is time to put Davis back and it is time for Cadeau to drive and dish or score. Screw all of these three pointers

 

[sctarheel30]

Gotta be kidding me tied at 69

 

[notashelbyfan]

It is time to put Davis back and it is time for Cadeau to drive and dish or score. Screw all of these three pointers

You have no choice but to shoot jumpers when you don't have anyone to post up and dump the ball into!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Game tied as adorn hits a long three over Cadeau 68-69

 

[sctarheel30]

Withers with a turnover

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Simpkins 2 from the line 71-69

 

[sctarheel30]

Well down by two now

 

[NorCalTarheel]

It's not as if they are killing us in the paint. We are missing layups and have no answer for their zone

 

[sctarheel30]

Just like last year gonna depend way too much on RJ

 

[NorCalTarheel]

RJ to the rescue

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis finally hits on a running jumper then Davis BOOM from the deep right corner and Carolina retakes the lead 74-71

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Need to consider putting Trimble or Powell on Simpkins because he is lighting everybody else up

 

[NorCalTarheel]

So we have better than average defenders in Seth, Drake and Even EC but it seems like Elon is shooting 90% from the field??

Again, not like they are posting us up each possession

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau BOOM his third deep one in this contest 77-71

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau hammered going to the hole hits one from the line 78-71

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington easy basket after a nice pass from Davis 80-71

 

[notashelbyfan]

It's not as if they are killing us in the paint. We are missing layups and have no answer for their zone

It's not about us stopping them in the paint it's about us not having a player that can get on the block and catch an entry pass and score.

 

[sctarheel30]

Hard to believe we couldn’t land one top notch transfer to man the middle

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis puts up a prayer in the lane 82-73

 

[NorCalTarheel]

I'd agree that any notion of Washington making a huge leap this year doesn't appear to have manifested

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis puts the nail in the Phoenix coffin with a three as he is left wide open 85-73

 

[notashelbyfan]

Wait till Friday night we will see how bad that lack of a post player is.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Our opponent shouldn't have been overlooked. They started a successful electric car company and a private space program!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Cadeau drives and scores 87-73

 

[keysersosay#1]

We have a long way to go....as said right now our inside game is poor....lots of work to develop some scoring there...(Kansas will beat us by 15 easy

 

[sctarheel30]

HD all fired up

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Phoenix three and Carolina finishes the scoring with a three of its own 90-76

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Wait till Friday night we will see how bad that lack of a post player is.

Let's hope our perimeter D is better Friday night or it's going to be a long game.

It has to come from penetration

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Now have three days to get ready for Kansas

Afraid you may be right

1-0. Lots to work on but lots of positives (if you choose to see them).

Seth and EC can shoot. Lubin can rebound. The frosh are going to be good. RJ is still RJ... all are good things.

Cade needs work. Washington doesn't appear to have progressed like we hoped. D will take time to come around.

I love our athleticism and I thought our D was very good for the most part, and if we shoot well we will win games.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Great to talk hoops and watch our opening game with y'all (friends I've never met).

RJ, 8 assist and 0 turnovers. Not a great shooting night, but a killer when needed knocking them done.

Only 6 team turnovers. 42% from 3land, 82% from the line. Game still in doubt late. Yikes
