UNC vs Syracuse GAME Thread

[UNC-75]

Berry got fouled on a 3 attempt and got pushed to the ground leading to a breakout for the Cuse player. Apparently in order to get the call you have to kick the other player in the nuts or some equivalent.

U can tell the 3 days between games has given UNC a lot of time to work on slicing and dicing the Syracuse zone. Also great move by Coach William's by subbing Manley's defensive presence for Johnson's offense. Manley might have played his most minutes of a half so far this season.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson from William's 43-32

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Syracuse three 43-35

 

[Littlejon]

Dang! Another 3 and at the buzzer with a hand in his face. At least Pinson gets the bucket and a chance to get the FT on the foul.... but misses it.

Dang it!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another Cuse three under 2 seconds to shoot but Pinson scores on a pass from Maye 45-40:

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Johnson a medium range jumper 47-40

 

[Littlejon]

Are you kidding me? A reach in foul? After the way they have hammered some of our guys? Really?

 

[Carolina Way]

Not sure that was a shooting foul... but this espn broadcast is trash so maybe I couldn’t see it

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Orange two free throws 47-42

 

[Littlejon]

'Cuse is stroking it now.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Howard a jumper 47-44 and Pinson on a layup from Maye 49-44

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Syracuse more aggressive now as their guards are going strong to the hole

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Gotta keep putting pressure on their defense. And how in the world that was called a block on Maye is beyond me, unless he was in the restricted circle, he was established, had pitched a tent, built a fire, and was cooking supper.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Syracuse living at the line 49-46

 

[Littlejon]

Down to a 3 point lead after the FT's, but Berry answers with a nice floater!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry floater down the lane 51-46

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry BOOM from the top 54-48&

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

THEO!!!!!!!! And beautiful ball movement for the dunk!

 

[MWHeels]

Now that's more like it

 

[Littlejon]

YES!!

That is some damn good basketball, folks! Completely unselfish on that fast break dunk by Theo!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson tomahawk dunk 56-48 causes a Syracuse time out.

 

[Ozheelfan]

That was fast break porn right there

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Luke, to Theo, to Manley with the no look pass.

 

[Littlejon]

How in the heck can you not love Theo?

That no look pass was a thing of beauty!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Another dunk for UNC 58-50 as Pinson gets another assist

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

WHOA!??!?!? That was a foul on the shot?!?!? That wasn't called until after the miss?!?!? Not a big fan of calling the foul based on the result of the shot.

 

[Littlejon]

Zebra's keeping Syracuse in it right now.

Theo with the bucket and a foul!

 

[MWHeels]

Theo is the man

 

[Carolina Way]

Man. If Pinson keeps playing like this...

 

[MWHeels]

Just curious though, what is a non-shooting foul for Syracuse?

 

[Ozheelfan]

Manley with the assist too.... maybe Butter back on campus is having an effect.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson scores on a pass from Manley in the paint and he is fouled right before the 12 minute tv timeout. 60-50. Again I will say it the break between games has given Carolina a bunch of time on how to attack the zone.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson ft 61-51

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Manley down low 63-51

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Manley taking the traditional post entry against the "vaunted" Syracuse zone. LOL!!!! Couple more buckets and the Heels bust this one WIDE open!

 

[Littlejon]

Folks, I think we are seeing Manley's coming out party tonight!

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

These refs are walk happy after Boeheim goes Coach K in the first half.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina winning the loose ball war

 

[MWHeels]

Folks, I think we are seeing Manley's coming out party tonight!

And he's only a freshman
