UNC vs NC STATE GAME THREAD

Agree 100% about none of them having hands but Brooks is the biggest offender. Arch or somebody on here nicknamed him paddles because of his hands and it’s so true. Rebounds, loose balls, entry passes, etc. the kid literally looks like he is swatting the ball away. And again, Manley last broke his leg 2 years ago. What 18 year old takes 2 years to build enough stamina to play 2-3 minutes at a time in basketball?

Stop making excuses for their play. Will they develop? Surely they will and frankly they have to. But right now, they are big time liabilities the minute they hit the floor. We just can’t afford to let them play much anymore at all. Too deep into the schedule and they haven’t shown significant improvement yet and it won’t happen. We are in the meat of the ACC meat grinder And have to run with who gives us best chance to win. Roy can’t kill our momentum like he did in first half. The drop in talent with that sub grouping mirrored the 19-0 run we were on the wrong end of.

I gave him that nickname . . we've had others on previous teams that have had some poor hands as well.
 
These game threads are nuts...Somebody just called our Freshman Bigmen shit...You guys are something else....
 
That’s right Billy! I laugh every time I think about it. I almost feel bad for Brooks but really there is no excuse in his inability to gather the most routine of passes. I’ve seen better hands in my sons 5U basketball games at the Y.

5 assists and 11 turnovers.Kenny is MIA AGAIN. Luke looks like he did his freshmen year. Brooks and Manley can’t catch the ball. Theo is in a fog again especially on defense. Roy cannot let a team go on a 19 to nothing run and not call a timeout to stop the bleeding. These are not his veteran teams of the past couple of years. His team is way to inexperienced for that and not to mention fragile. My friend is at the game and he is right behind the bench he even said that Steve Robinson was pissed that Roy didn’t call a timeout. Oh well hopefully we can redeem ourselves instead of shooting ourselves in the foot

Game threads are for bitching . . I'd rather it be in this thread than someone starting a new one just to complain . . see the 'What's wrong w/ Luke' thread . .
 
I did also notice the aggravation from Robinson on the bench. Not sure it had to do with not calling a timeout and moreso with just how bad our play was during that stretch.
 
Our freshman bigs are great cheerleaders though. Love their enthusiasm on the bench. They look more comfortable over there.

True...I seen it and posted in it...People forget how Meeks and Hicks looked in their 1st year...

Maye a jumper 59-56 keeps UNC up while subs try and eat up some minutes. Maye is carrying the team on his back as no one else is stepping up.
 
How many times is Maye going to get a rebound and either throw the ball away or lose it on the dribble? He has given State almost 10 points after defensive rebounds. Someone tell our guards that Johnson and Freeman drive right every time.
 
Have to admit it. Manly not ready to play in the league now. Beef him up and with some experience I’m looking forward to his play in years to come but now he is a liability on all fronts.
 
wow it sucks that our bench gives us nothing. Means our best chance to win is play starting 5 for 40 minutes. Regardless of how gassed they get or unfair it is. Serious question. Could BRob make a layup if he were alone in the gym? I never think any shot from anywhere is going in. Hes a spaz
