UNC vs Oklahoma in Charlotte game thread on: Wednesday 20 December 2023

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I can remember the last time these two teams played and Hansbrough and company took down Blake Griffin and the Sooners on their way to the NCAA championship.

The Sooners are undefeated at 10-0 but they have not played the schedule the Tar heels have. They rely heavily on their guards which has been Carolina’s defensive weakness early in this season.

I believe being in front of a pro Carolina crowd will be the difference as the Heels break their two game losing streak in the Queen City…

They rely heavily on their guards which has been Carolina’s defensive weakness early in this season.

Seems to be a recurring theme. Never seen 'em play before but it looks like they have some size in the middle too. Will Mando be shut down again? What will be UNC's defensive approach? Will they switch and scramble on D ? Does OU's guards have good handlers??

Soares over Ingram but Washington in close scores 16-9

 

[Heels5150]

Ingram needs to settle down.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Notice how defenses trap the ball handler whenever Washington sets the screen?

Defenses do not respect Washington at all. Might as well not even involve him in in screens.

Oweh scores again 16-11.

Cadeau a short jumper then McCollum with a long jumper 20-17

Zayden is all hustle, no hands.

If he could grab some rebounds that would be great.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Four close in shots for UNC but nothing falls. Thankfully Ingram is fouled on the last attempt

Four close in shots for UNC but nothing falls. Thankfully Ingram is fouled on the last attempt

Gotta get High off the floor.

 

[RP12]

High or Withers need to get better if we’re going to match up with big athletic teams

 

[JDisaheelfan]

Love High’s motor. Get some skill and he could be a nice backup big for 4 years.

Creating a lot of live ball turnovers !

Bacot struggles with any feel for kicking out on a double.

Withers a nice block but Bacot throws the ball into the cheap seats then McCollum a long three 31-22

 

[DaveChapelle]

Feels like we could be up 20.
