**UNC vs Notre Dame on Friday 11 March game thread**

[BillyL]

Berry hit that from the white truck!

Nice . .

 

[KOOL123]

If this group plays D and rebounds the ball like that it's not a team in the Nation that can beat them bottom line.....40 mins baby let's go....

 

[jah420]

Definitely should give them a steady dose of Brice in the 2nd half. Work the ball inside out with the guards shooting with confidence tonight.

 

[Heelicious]

The dude is playing hella defense tonight.

Hicks too. GET THAT WEAK JUNK OUTTA HERE! several times.

 

[strummingram]

Great day in the mawnin'

 

[strummingram]

18-0 run to end the half has to be one of the best in Heel's history.

 

[coryfly]

Well, they finally finished a half well.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Let's start the 2nd half with another 18-0 run!

Let's go Heels! Don't ease up.

 

[nctransplant]

I hope we see blue steel at the five minute mark!

 

[wilsinnc]

Duke was up 16 on em so we gotta keep playing and not let ups

 

[KOOL123]

Play D and Rebound.....Go Heels...

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Sending in waves of fresh players definitely tired the Irish out in the first half. Auguste--seemed pretty frustrated by Meeks, Hicks and James...

 

[BillyL]

Hicks too. GET THAT WEAK JUNK OUTTA HERE! several times.

Isaiah has been tough.

Justin Jackson wasn't backing down from anyone tonight.

 

[strummingram]

Floor it.

 

[BillyL]

Well, they finally finished a half well.

Yes indeed, but, we can't coast, and have to finish the game strong.

 

[strummingram]

They made that run with Brice and Meeks on the bench

 

[coryfly]

Yeah, this game obviously isn't over. Jackson is going to try and takeover and they can score well. Have to come out angry and play hard.

 

[coryfly]

They made that run with Brice and Meeks on the bench

The small lineup worked great against all of their movement.

 

[RP12]

Finished first half 10-0 against Pitt

 

[Heelicious]

and- we got 0 from Justin. I just don't see that continuing. Plus, I see more Brice imposing his will inside in second half. I fear the officials for some reason trying to put ND back in this. ie - that Brey gets to them at halftime.

 

[TarHeelMark]

We had a 15 point lead on ND and list earlier this year. They better keep that in mind and not lose focus.

 

[coachdubausee]

I hope you're ready to eat Brice!! Here comes dinner!!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson on the line hits two more 43-22

 

[HEELS1984]

3 fouls on Auguste, 2FT's by Brice

 

[Littlejon]

3 fouls on Auguste and then he turns it over.

Nice fast break and dunk by Jackson!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson scores 45-22

 

[HEELS1984]

Great outlet from Meeks!!

 

[coryfly]

Meeks fouled him but UNC is playing tougher

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson a short jumper 47-22

 

[coryfly]

Don't teach down there, Brice. Let him take it.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

ND finally scores on 2 fts 47-24

 

[coryfly]

Now Meeks with three. Dang

 

[Littlejon]

And just like that, here come the fouls.

 

[TarHeelMark]

This clock can't move fast enough....

 

[coryfly]

Go small.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Just when I thought the refs were letting them play.... A foul call on every ND possession.

 

[coryfly]

Not sure what James is complaining about. He had his forearm in his chest. Last thing we need to do is get them in the bonus quick

 

[Littlejon]

Now is when we need to play the same game and go after Auguste and get him out out of the game, too, while we're at it, Colson needs some fouls, too.

 

[Heelicious]

Just when I thought the refs were letting them play.... A foul call on every ND possession.

yep - bur all 3 on our bigs were legit, dumb, fouls. Sometimes they should just get straight up and let the guy shoot over you.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

49-26 as the Irish get two more from the line as the clock is now under 16 minutes to play. Johnson now with three fouls but Hicks has been good tonight so there is no panic yet.
