UNC vs NC STATE GAME THREAD

Great finish by Platek . . BRob banging a 3 . . oh yeah.
 
That Robinson 3 was weird. 7th threw it back and immediately started trotting up court before brob even shot it like 7th knew he alrdy made it lol
 
We lost momentum with that awful lineup we subbed in with Platek, robinson, 7th and Brooks alongside Theo. My goodness that was pathetic.
 
State,making a run 28-25. Kenny William's AWOL again offensively. Beverly has hit three from downtown. Defense still pretty solid but offense has really slowed down
 
Roy with a lineup of Woods,Platek,Robinson,Pinson and Brooks. Who is going to score with that lineup on the floor? You simply can't have all 5 starters out of the game at once.
 
Can I just state how bad the ACC Network feed is.

Random ass boxes on screen for no reason. Just missed a NC State 3 because they didn't tune back in fast enough. Etc.
 
Hate to say it but I agree about our freshman bigs. They are absolute shit. Say what you want about Manley’s legs being the reason for his lack of conditioning, but something just isn’t right. The kid is gassed after running down the court twice. And garrison Brooks may as well have his hands cut off because he hasn’t caught a pass clean all year and is weak as shit every time he goes up. No less than half his attempts get blocked.

I understand that Roy wants to try and develop depth but it simply doesn’t exist with our lack of talent this year. We beat duke by playing our starters big minutes. Today we are back to letting scrubs play key minutes in the first half on the way to a 19-0 NC state run.

Nc state player was greedy at the end of the half and cost them a bucket before the end of the half.

We need to hit some 3s to win.
 
Roy kills any momentum this team builds. How was a lineup of Woods, Pinson, Platek, B-Rob and Brooks going to score? 17-0 run... Oh well
 
I’m not suicidal about where we are now. Roy clearly tried to steal minutes in the first half due to the quick turnaround.

I expect tighter rotation and we responded well off the 19-0 run.

If you’d told me State had a 19-0 run, and we’d have 11 first half turnovers, I wouldn’t have expected to be down just 2.

I've hardly see Manley catch a clean pass either. And he never seems prepared for them. Three freshmen bigs who all have stone hands.
 
Down 37-35 at the half but as a,Tar Heel fan u cannot be too upset especially since William's and Pinson did not score. And Johnson and Maye barely score. Have to be happy with at least 12 points off the bench and the fact that State is not getting a ton of open looks from beyond the arc. Play Brooks and Manley more which should free Maye for more,open looks.
 
Down 2 after 19-0 run missing 11shots in a row.
Bench had 12 points so stole some minutes but also lost momentum when we were on 10-0 run.
Tough damn stretch with another game in 48 hours. Need to find a way.
