UNC vs Ohio State Official Game Thread

[Steat]

Need to keep it going! Hoping Nickel can hit several 3-pointers in this game. Could set the tone for several wins in roll.

Go Heels!​

This game looms a bit larger then normal with Michigan struggling non conference and the ACC' s woes in non conference. Our schedule from here on out looks to have many more opportunities for damaging loses then for quality wins as far as the overall NET profile. Getting a quality neutral court win today would be very helpful.

 

[dtodd4475]

Also interested in how RJ does, he seems to be excited about playing back in his home state of New York, with his first time playing at " the Mecca" Madison Square Garden.

Hopefully RJ will not succumb to the pressure of playing in his home state, which some of his relatives and friends will be in attendance. With his experience of playing on the biggest stages during his tenure, believe he will rise to the occasion, and produce.

This a huge game because a win would mark a real turn around that can last while a loss would suggest that maybe this team is going do a bunch of ping-ponging.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ohio State not really big up front height wise but they still are a tremendous rebounding team

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Key as the shot clock goes off 3-0

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a short bank 5-2 then Puff in early with a steal and basket 5-4

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot already out

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Key a Ft 6-4 but Nance a short jumper 6-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Love BOOM from the top 9-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice screen by Nance allows Davis to glide in from the right for a easy layup. 11-6

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nance a hook in the lane 13-8

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ohio State getting a bunch of offensive rebounds

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nickel hits one from the line14-10

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Black out with 2 fouls and Styles in as is Trimble

 

[strummingram]

way, way too much fouling

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot back in but a 9-0 Buckeye run with three regulars on the bench puts thevHeels down by 5

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot at the line chits two 19-16

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Awful passing turnovers down 24-16

 

[Travis2262]

Last two games look like fools gold

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina can’t find anyone who can score and Ohio State is scoring on every possession 28-16

 

[tarheels0015]

Wish the heels would play D like Ohio state is currently & wish our O would get open looks too ........

 

[gkss]

They are just playing tougher than us.

 

[JDisaheelfan]

Not sure what happened to Bacot this year, but he’s getting dominated in almost every game. Lots of touches inside today, but he’s done nothing with them.

On D, missing Leaky badly but don’t commit bad fouls.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot down low scores but another turnover

 

[BBallACC]

Not a popular belief I know but Love needs to be sitting. Nothing but negative plays ALL half.

 

[pittsburghheel]

Definitely a difference in toughness between the two teams. Crisp passes and solid defense on one side, loose play and lack of fundamentals on the other side.

 

[gkss]

Refs are allowing o state to bump and push- we have to respond in kind!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I know it is cold and wet in New York with all of the snow but these unforced turnovers are not being caused by the weather but by a lack of focus…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis at home in NY drains 2 fts 28-20

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Thornton a wide open three 31-20

 

[xtarheelx]

wow

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot from Love 34-22

 

[Travis2262]

This team is garbage. I'll check the final score later. I'm sure it'll be another beat down.

 

[gkss]

Would be nice to finish strong with the end of the half here to get back in it

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bacot from Love again scores and a ft 34-25

 

[gkss]

Did I actually see one of their guys complaining about pushing off? Good grief. smh

 

[xtarheelx]

smh
