UNC vs Providence on 19 March 2016 for a trip to the sweet 16 game thread

[coryfly]

Finally got Brice a look. Great pass. With only one big in there it is hard to get him a look. Then a terrible foul by him on the other end. Uggh.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Terrible foul by Brice. We had them reeling and we give them a bail out

 

[TarHeelMark]

damnit.... good D until that crap

 

[TarHeelMark]

finished with a 9-2 run to end the half

 

[RoseHeel]

9-0 run till that horrible foul

 

[MWHeels]

I'm glad the Heels have the lead at halftime, but they should be up by double digits. They need to come out strong in the second half and leave the foot on the gas.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

34-30 at the half for UNC after a ugly shooting performance from both teams

 

[heels05champs]

We missed a golden opportunity with Dunn out for so long and never could take advantage.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

I like how the officials talk only about the Dunn kid with 2 fouls. Arguably 2 of our top players sat almost as long with 2 fouls. I'd call it a wash.

 

[TarHeelMark]

this feels like a game that will come down to the end...

 

[GoNtheDistance]

If we cut down on the turnovers in first half we are up no less than 10. We really shit the bed there with a chance to make it real tough on them.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

They have zero answer for Brice. We must pound it in there because they will foul or give us easy looks. Bentil played some tough D a few times but he's matador if he has to guard every possession. He likes to exert energy on the offensive end.

 

[jah420]

Has Brice's block landed yet? Looked like the ball was on the way to Fuquay-Varina.

Love the way Kenny smith is unapologetic in his love for unc

They moved the ball better and looked better as a team without him. Of course, you can give him the ball late in the clock and he can get buckets for you.

If they offer to sit him the rest of the game, I accept!

 

[coryfly]

If they offer to sit him the rest of the game, I accept!

Haha, yeah, no kidding.

 

[TARRRRRHEEEEEELS]

Run to start the second half! Let's go Heels! Marcus is going to get it going this half.

 

[TARRRRRHEEEEEELS]

Don't think the Heels are going to get the calls tonight. Better find a way to win it without the refs..

 

[coryfly]

Brice gets no respect.

Just a terrible start. F'ing awesome.

 

[BillyL]

This half isn't starting out very well . .

 

[coryfly]

Goodness, Marcus. Just awful.

 

[berens007]

Great start!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Providence opens the scoring with 2 Fts then Paige a awful pass 34-34 and Paige again with a turnover

 

[TARRRRRHEEEEEELS]

Step it up Heels! Stop this run and tie the damn game up.

 

[TarHeelMark]

WTH Marcus... sheesh

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry on the line hits two 36-36

 

[berens007]

Meeks torched there

 

[heels05champs]

I just don't feel good about this game. Paige and Jackson are aweful tonight and we need them.

 

[toophly1124]

Lol Paige jumping higher than meeks

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Bentil is fouled by Meeks but misses two

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Meeks is awful guys. Why do we even waste the first 2 minutes of every half with him in the floor. I thought I'd never say this but we'd be better off with Joel James starting the first 2 minutes of the half.

 

[berens007]

3 on bentil?

 

[JP4UNC]

That should be Bentil's 10th foul

 

[TarHeelMark]

refs are getting whistle happy in the 2nd...

 

[BillyL]

JACKSON . . !!!!

 

[HEELS1984]

Jackson Boom!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson BOOM from the top 39-36

 

[GoNtheDistance]

This is a game that if hicks shows up, we start to run away.

 

[TarHeelMark]

We need a good 10-0 run about now...
