UNC vs Syracuse GAME Thread

[Ozheelfan]

When Manley learns how to be strong with a rebound he’ll be a ton better

 

[Littlejon]

Dang Kenny! Can't give them points on stupid turnovers

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Awful pass by William's leads to a layup

 

[pln2013]

Syracuse's offense looks terrible

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Manley tip in 13-7 at the 12 minute tv break. Cuse shooting a bunch of three pointers so far. Nice to see UNC looking to score in the paint early in this contest.

 

[pln2013]

We looked waaaaaay better with Theo in the game

 

[Littlejon]

Manley with the big block and Platek with the 3!

 

[MWHeels]

Nice D and then the 3 ball from Platek. 16-7

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Plate k from the left corner for three after a great Manley block lead to a breakout. 16-7. Robinson also now in for UNC

 

[MWHeels]

Strong rebound and the And 1 from the Manimal

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Manley a short jumper in the lane and a ft 19-9

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Battle two straight layups and a Plate k from Pinson 21-16

 

[pln2013]

Platek likes that little flat-footed floater. Shot it a lot in HS.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Need to get the starters back in to slow down this rally 21-18

 

[thaUNCshow]

i dont think platek is a bad player, but man teams always seem to go on huge runs against us when hes in

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

21-18 With 8 minutes left in the half. Nothing offensively for Berry yet but recently he has been a 2nd half scoring machine. 8 points from the bench has been big so far as has Pinson's 4 assists.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye a layup 23-18

 

[Littlejon]

Battle is taking it to whomever is guarding him and winning. Need to get someone to stop him.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry BOOM from the left corner 26-20

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson coast to coast 28-20

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye turn around 30-22

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry BOOM from the left corner again 33-25

 

[Littlejon]

Man, we are moving the ball VERY good against this zone and making the shots.

Hope we can keep it up.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Syracuse is a lot like UNC that they do not have much of a inside game so they depend on their perimeter shooting and slashing drives by Battle. Since William's has re entered the game Battle has found it more difficult to get to the bssket.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson BOOM from the top 36-25

 

[Ozheelfan]

Pinson for 3!!! What a half he’s having

 

[Ozheelfan]

Manley seems to get to the line a lot

 

[MWHeels]

I like Manley's production so far tonight

 

[Littlejon]

Manley is looking really good tonight. Being aggressive offensively and he is altering guys shots on defense.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Manley on the line cans 2 38-27

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Manley back to the line hits one 39-29

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

William's from Maye 41-29

 

[MWHeels]

Nice pass from Luke to Kenny 41-29

 

[pln2013]

Brilliant observation: our starters are much better than our bench.

 

[Littlejon]

Kenny has completely shut Battle down. But, we let them nail a 3 to end the half. Dang guys!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Three,pointer at thecbuzzer 41-32 atvhalf.

 

[Carolina Way]

Minus that last shot, it was one hell of a half.

 

[pln2013]

Well that's an unfortunate end to the half.

 

[FranktheHeel]

Really good ball movement leading to a very impressive-14 assists on 16 made field goals, with none other than Theo at the forefront with 6 assists. That certainly is a recipe for success. Theo being Theo, stuffing the stat sheets already with 7 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals, can this be the night of the triple double?!!

Also, nice contribution from Big Ster, 8 points, 4 rebounds and a block while going 4-5 from the line as he is aggressive and active on both ends of the floor. He can really be a big piece for us come tourney time, his play so far tonight is a step in the right direction for him.

While I was disappointed in the difficulties, I give ESPN props for thinking outside the box to try and give us some sort of feed while they worked on it.
