UNC vs PITTSBURGH GAME THREAD

Hope someone will try and give updates of the game like I normally do because being in Jamaica this week I am probably not going to be able to watch it. Thanks
 
I'd like to see Sterling get about double his normal minutes in this game.
I agree. He played 20 against Clemson. And Clemson has a tougher interior presence than Pitt.

Let's see if he can do that (or more) 2 games in a row. If he has the stamina, that will serve us down the stretch.
 
Who knows what lineups Roy will use against the shortest, weakest team in the league? Their 3 tall guys barely play 45 minutes, combined. Chukwuka (6'9 228) starts but has averaged under 15 minutes per game recently.

Will he rest Theo? Probably not. Probably should, but I don't think either Theo or Roy is inclined that way - unless he's really hurting.

Will Seventh get some burn? Beats me. I still think he should redshirt. But if he's ready and wants to come back, go for it.

Will some other player(s) get extra minutes at point to see who can step in as Joel's backup in Jalek's absence? Probably. This is the only game left to do it without it potentially costing us.

Will our bigs get a lot of burn? Maybe. I hope so. Sterling's 20 minutes in the last game was nice to see. Fluke, or does he really have the stamina?
 
Hey, I guess we have a chance to win this one huh? :cool:

Depends entirely on who is refereeing the game tonite . .

This team desperately needs brandon Robinson and Sterling Manley to come on down the stretch, Theo's shoulder is gonna be an issue rest of the season if he doesn't rest for at least a couple of weeks.
 
we got problems either in the coaching staff or the players . Players don't listen or coaches not coaching 5 3pters giving up already.
 
We better hope that Trent Jr and duke have a cold night behind the arc of we're going to get destroyed.
 
At this point, I wouldn't be opposed to our players literally running through our bench to run Pitt off the corner 3.
 
I just can’t understand why we won’t try a freaking zone to limit the penetration.

I’m going to keep posting it every game.
 
Coach can say how much he emphasizes the 3 point D but until it gets to a point that hes yanking guys off the court for giving up open 3’s I dont expect much to change
 
If Pitt hangs around until halftime, they’ll get some confidence and this will be a game.

Roy rarely plays a zone defense . . every now/then to change up, but, that's about it.

Roy doesn't teach defense, never has . .
 
You want defense . . ? Pray that Tony Bennett is our next coach . .
