I watched when berry left whitey open by collapsing on an inbound and then we sagged off freeman the very next play - 6 point lead down to zero. Then we switched to just giving Johnson space 1 on 1 while he was hot
UNC vs NC STATE GAME THREAD
- Thread starter Steat
- Start date
After playing for the Title the last 2 years and winning last year I am fine with a rebuilding year...
We left the W at the FT line. ZERO excuse for 11 of 20. Luke is great everywhere but the Charity Stripe. Berry 3-12 didn't help any either.
Well . . . time to change my prediction on the regular season record poll.
Piss poor coaching and piss poor defense equals a loss. This team is just bad.
Roy has got to let jalek play through mistakes it's killing berry and it's killing jaleks confidence
Nah. Still a 6-8 seed in the NCAAT.
But we can't afford to lose any more games that we are supposed to win.
He's very good with the short pass to a cutter or dumping after a drive.
Only problem is, there are so few plays called like this during the game.... way too much walking down to a half-court set where everyone stands around waiting for Luke to do something or for JB to miss a three.
Yep. That was my point earlier in the thread. Play your talent and let the chips fall where they may.
Go look at our schedule. Other than Pitt at home, nothing is for sure there.
His claim while reactionary, isn’t out of this world.
Had these Kids had the green Light to call a Time out then Manley would have positioned himself for that..... Its beat in their heads to not call Time outs so that element of the game is lost...
Only loss that can hurt us a ton would be Pittsburgh. But, if we lose to Pittsburgh we shouldn't even be invited to the cbi let alone the nit.
That said, you can look at all our losses. We are a jump shooting team. If we are not making 3s, we lose.
Can’t expect to play for a title every year, but don’t think a program with the pedigree of a UNC should ever have a rebuilding year. Just lost to two unranked teams this week. Imagine UNC will join them in that category before long. That shouldn’t happen
Roy’s mishandling of Felton is bizarre. We are watching Berry barely pick himself off the floor and completely exhausted while a perfectly capable replacement sits on the bench.
without that option sure, but you are suggesting you don't grow a brain to call a time out while falling out of bounds until you are a Sophomore
Do you not remember being 10 years old on the playground calling timeouts in fictitious situations, or in junior high or High school? Sorry not buying it..
Maybe, just maybe there is a reason that the general public doesn’t know about
My 13 year old asked why he didn’t call a time out.... he’s in the 7th grade.
We’ve been told time & time again that it’s his defense. I know that’s a lie, nobody on the team plays defense.
Yeah I'm with him, just taking it and chunking it opposed to a time out is hard to believe he did that without having I'm not allowed to call timeouts on his mind..
True, it's brutal. And we just lost one of the easy ones.
We catch a break @ Clemson because of Grantham's injury. And we still have Pitt. But we can't even take those for granted.
Notre Dame is at home, and Bonzie is still out. But Farrell is back. So that could be hard.
The rest? Yikes!
Nah. Point is still his to lose next year. And if he does well, he's off to the NBA. Why sit out a year?
If Roy plays JF more and we lose . . . well, I suspect we hear a different refrain from some here.
I confess I want to see Jalek get more PT, too. But when he isn't reliable and we end up losing, I'm not sure this was the game to play him.
If Roy was going to give him more burn, it should have been early.

Yeah - except that he hasn't shown himself to be a perfectly capable replacement.
He should be by now. Bu the isn't.
Hard to know how much of not being there now is on Felton and how much on Roy, but he really hasn't shown he can be relied upon in a tough game like this.
The sun shines on even the ugliest dogs ass every now and then. That’s the jest of states win today in the dome.
That being said. Here are the obvious takeaways from today’s game. Many of these a rinse and repeat of the whole damn year.
1. Joel is exhausted. Kid competes hard and we need him to play a ton but it’s catching up with him. We will lose every game he scores less than double digits.
2. Keates outcoached Roy severely today. State exploited Luke’s terrible ball screen defense over and over and over and over.
3. We have no post presence at all. Again, if our freshman duo of Manley and Brooks can’t at least combine for a double double, we will lose every time. Today they combined for 9 points and 1 rebound.
4. Our 3 point defensive strategy is behind the times. Say all the dumb shit you want about high percentage shots 3 vs 2. But a wide open 3 is a higher percentage shot than a contested layup at this point. State hit 15 threes. That makes an average team damn near impossible to beat most games.
Hate the outcome but we played hard. Effort is still there which is encouraging. We just need to get some rest and get back on track. We have to win the games we are supposed to win down the stretch in the league and maybe steal a game or 2 somewhere.

"No. 10 North Carolina committed five turnovers and allowed six second-chance points in overtime...."

Disagree. If he can simply dribble the ball across half court, that is enough to give Berry a couple extra minutes a game to rest. Berry is completely exhausted and we have 8 more games. I’ve seen Enough of Felton to know he can give 8 minutes per game.
Heels05, I agree with your sentiment in hopes of getting Joel a break because he needs it. However, Felton has struggled substantially to the point that we are like -75 with him on the floor year to date. It’s one thing to say he’s had some freshman struggles but the more accurate statement is simply that he’s been awful. You can’t even highlight his effort or defense he’s been so bad. Unfortunately we have zero depth and the drop off is astounding once you take Joel out. Lose lose situation Roy is in.
Is it just me or does it seem like something happened to this teams chemistry after Johnson got back from injury. This team was clicking before Cam but once he came back, everyone started to seem off a bit.
