UNC vs Davidson Game Thread

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Woods to the hole and he scores 11-10 for the good guys as the subs have played better than the starters

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Finally the mugging underneath gets called.

 

[BillyL]

Not a hater by any stretch but there should NEVER be a scenario where he's guarding Gibbs.

I read a lot of crap this past week on how Roy never should have played Maye in the IU game . .

Yeah I vehemently disagree with that opinion if for no other reason than who would play in his place? He earns every minute he gets.

Agreed . .

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

12 minute time out and UNC leads 11-10. Thank goodness the reserves are putting up a fight and showing some effort.

 

[BillyL]

Maye has 7 of our 13 points . . ?

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

His handle may be loose at times, but I like how 7th is always in attack mode.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Just turned on the game and saw the lineup on the floor... was wondering if they were televising the JV game. WTH? Roy mad?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye a short hook in the lane. A three by Aldridge 13-13 and another rebound by Maye.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Alright Meeks and Hicks, lets see if you're gonna let a freshman and a last scholarship type of player out motor you. Hope the message sent was received.

 

[BillyL]

His handle may be loose at times, but I like how 7th is always in attack mode.

I do as well . . he has the speed and quickness to do whatever he chooses.

 

[BillyL]

Get fired up JJ . . . we're gonna need ya.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Gibbs and Jackson exchange three balls 18-18

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

McGarrity has walked every time he has posted up. Glad to see it finally called.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks scores and then causes a wildcat turnover 20-18

 

[BillyL]

I really want to see Nate start hitting these 3 point shots he's taking . .

C'mon Nate . . !

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Love to see Williams get it going. I would also love to see Williams be able to create his own shot. That would go a LONG way tonight.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks 2 fts 22-18

 

[BillyL]

Hicks @ 79% FTs . . . . dayum thats good.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Wow Valentine...just WOW.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I just don't like the energy that this group has right now. Nobody attacking the paint. Lots of east/west basketball right now.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

22-20 at the 8 minute tv break

 

[BillyL]

Seventh throws some wild passes . . a couple of those would've been TOs had someone not been behind the intended target.

 

[Heelicious]

I'm serious about this question. Does 7th's eyes go closed or something when he starts moving with the ball? Out of control driving - and passing - doesn't even begin to describe it. We will need him at some point this year - and need him to be a 90% risk of something bad happening when he has the ball.

 

[coryfly]

Luke Maye with a huge lift. Seventh shows some flashes as well as some other stuff, haha. Need our bigs to step their game up.

I've wondered the same . . . . I think he's still adjusting to the speed of the game and how to stay under control. Very strange though . .

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks finally scores with 2 fts 24-20

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

WHY does Nate refuse to swing the ball without holding it for 2 seconds first?!?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks a short jumper 26-22

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Luke Maye has earned his scholarship in this game alone.

 

[BillyL]

Maye is hustling his ass off . .

 

[TarHeelMark]

JJ !!

 

[toophly1124]

Props to Luke. Been huge this game. Nate leaves me scratching my head every game now it seems. Disappointing.

 

[coryfly]

Man, they are letting contact go on both teams all over the court on reach ins. Maye got hit about 8 times on that one play, lol. Britt has gotten away with a few hacks on steals as well. Consistent though.

JJ en fuego.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson a long three after Maye fights to keep the play alive then Jackson another bomb 32-24

 

[GoNtheDistance]

How and why we routinely recruit guards who can't knock down open 3's baffles me (Nate Britt).

 

[TarHeelMark]

Yeah, Nate is struggling on D... getting lost

 

[BillyL]

JJ nails a 3 and leads us to an 8 point lead . .

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Jackson starting to feel it! Feed him!!!
