UNC vs Kentucky Game Thread

[2DDIMOND]

Thought I'd go ahead and post this a little early. I'll be on the road most of the afternoon & it'll give you guys time for some pre-game chatter. I think we rebound from the sub par performances & play well. Also think we pull away late.

Go Heels!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks, Hicks and Bradley need to own the boards so Kentucky can't run

 

[GoToHeelDook]

Here we go!

Heels 88-UK 80

 

[Archer2]

GO HEELS!

Changed my avatar to Isaiah because we need a big game from him today.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Forget the game clock as both teams look like roadrunner beep beep 10-7 unc

 

[Butterbutt44]

great pass catch berry to meeks

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Kentucky so far showing nothing in the paint offensively so the guards are shooting a bunch of threes

 

[Heelicious]

Meeks actually came to play today so far... we need it! Good for him.

 

[berens007]

None of our players look like they belong on the same floor as monk

 

[berens007]

nice stretch by Britt so far :/

 

[heels05champs]

Y'all see how important Theo is. I'd feel much better with him locking up Monk.

 

[Heelicious]

Lineup on the floor for us on the floor right now is dangerous.... and I don't mean in a good way. Seventh, Brit, and Luke Maye.... sounds like turnovers.

Theo

No other kentucky players are doing anything impressive. He will cool off

 

[berens007]

Would have to actually contest a shot by him to hope for that

 

[Butterbutt44]

Wtf

 

[trestyles]

There goes the fan fav britt

 

[berens007]

On pace to give up 120

 

[uncboy10]

Britt has got to start laying better. We're gonna need him

 

[carolinablue34]

Man I really hate them right now. Bradley goes down. ****

 

[berens007]

Monk owns us - basket is 10 feet wide after 10 uncontested 3s and dunks to start the game. And it is not just him anymore - we cannot stop anyone period

 

[toophly1124]

This bout to get ugly

 

[Heelicious]

Jeez this UK team is big fast, and Monk can't miss. I don't think the Heels are playing terrible, but they seem overmatched when UK comes to play like this.

Nice bogus call for Hicks third. That really hurts us inside. UK so much bigger. Almost forced to play Maye which is a disaster against vastly superior athletes, whoever he matches up against

 

[heels05champs]

We don't play good enough defense to keep them out of the lane.

 

[berens007]

Someone tell JJ the rim is made of metal rather than air

 

[berens007]

You would think 6 ft 6 guards wouldn't be quicker than our smaller guards but they sure are

 

[GoNtheDistance]

This is what elite recruits look like. These U.K. Kids are killers. Our kids look passive and hesitant on both ends.

 

[berens007]

Kenny Williams how did you graduate high school if you are stupid enough to leave monk there

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Also not necessarily blaming Roy bc U don't want to run our kids ragged the first 10 minutes but Maye and Britt look completely lost on the floor against anybody with a pulse most days.

Yeah it's tough bc they bring more pain off the bench and we have a key injury

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Our basketball IQ/general awareness on the defensive end has been realllllll subpar this half. They got a few kids who are on fire and for whatever damn reason they are wide open on at least half their looks. Kenny williams specifically. That young man has got caught watching the better part of the first half. We play man to man. Chase your ****ing man wherever he goes.

 

[Sk1310]

If Monk cools down, I like our chances in the 2nd half.

One kid has 24 of their 47 points....

 

[berens007]

They have gotten lucky on an air ball and a terrible shot

 

[RoseHeel]

Got a good one on our hands.

I Don't expect Monk to keep this pace in the 2nd Half

 

[GoNtheDistance]

They are definitely getting the bounces their way. It's no doubt they are significantly more gifted than us from an athletic perspective. I hope our experience comes into play in 2nd half.

 

[toophly1124]

Jesus Nate

 

[RoseHeel]

Didn't really expect much from Maye to Nate unfortunately...

 

[Heelicious]

Yep lets don't call the use it or lose it TO that way we can end up with something like Britt thinking he is the option to keep it in his hands and jack up junk among 3 guys a fott taller than him

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Of course Nate Britt sorry ass ends up with last shot lol
