UNC vs Tennessee Game Thread

Feeling like we bounce back pretty good today with a better performance. Also have a feeling 7th starts figuring it out & looks much more comfortable today. We shall see! Go Heels!

 

[al would]

Wonder who gets the start at point today .. believe I might start Stillman .. were it my decision.

 

[Archer2]

Because Nate struggled offensively, Roy may start him just to show he has confidence in him. Or, we could see him reward Stilman for his solid play. Or, 7th may get the nod. Who the heck knows?

 

[al would]

Think I would start White because he's the better available point guard .. he's actually a fairly under rated player .. not a ton of flash but very high bball IQ and well versed and comfortable running the offense... Seventh is probably the most athletic but he hasn't learned to play within himself yet .. just tries to force things to much. Nate seems to be more comfy at the two but Kenny and eventually Theo will get a lot of those minutes .. jmho

I'd start stillman but I suspect Roy goes with Nate.

 

[toophly1124]

Not a knock on Nate at all, but I hope we see a lot more Stilman. I love the cut of his jib!

[MWHeels]

Like the effort on defense so far.

 

[MWHeels]

2 fouls on Williams now.

 

[toophly1124]

Seventh gonna get a good bit of burn now.

 

[Archer2]

Damn we look disjointed without Joel.

 

[MWHeels]

Nice shot Nate!

 

[MWHeels]

16-11 Tennessee. Come on guys!

 

[Archer2]

Totally out of sync.

 

[heels05champs]

Freakin senior and still can't run the offense. Just put stillman in please.

 

[toophly1124]

Need to use our SIZE

 

[MWHeels]

Good offensive rebounds, but they need to start making some of these shots.

 

[Archer2]

Finally, we see Stillman and we get two good looks. He needs to play more and Nate less. He has a settling influence on the team.

 

[MWHeels]

There it is. Nice pass!

 

[dadika13]

Ugly so far.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Stilman should be playing the bulk of minutes at Pg until Berry returns. Nate Britt is awful and our offense is stagnant and disjointed with him on the floor. We need Hicks and Meeks to assert themselves in a big way. We simply aren't good enough to get into a jump shooting contest against anybody and that's what is going on right now.

 

[Butterbutt44]

Just play 14 guys.

 

[jeans15]

So am I the only one seeing that Tennessee's ball handling is suspect?

 

[GoNtheDistance]

How do our bigs routinely miss point blank shots? Hicks will spin himself out of a lay up and Meeks, hell he just misses it instead of dunking it.

 

[MWHeels]

Can't even hit free throws.

 

[heels05champs]

Losing by 10 at home to a pathetic Tennessee team.

 

[Butterbutt44]

Losing by 10 at home to a pathetic Tennessee team.

That's the difference between jb running the team and Nate Britt.

 

[al would]

Nate telegraphs almost ething ..

 

[dadika13]

Refs have even given us some calls that are questionable. Could be 15 right now without it.

 

[toophly1124]

Hope the officiating will get a shout out in the Stats n Stuff for keeping us in this game this far.

 

[Archer2]

Kennedy making himself small again.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

This Tennessee team isn't good at all. With roy at point we should be in control. Our other "go to" players need to grow a pair.

 

[jeans15]

We have a coach for a reason..it's not all on the players.

 

[toophly1124]

Britt is god awful bench his no shooting ass

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Nate Britt? Really? How many awful shots has this young man taken in the last game and a half?

 

[heels05champs]

That's the difference between jb running the team and Nate Britt.

Definitely. Nate wouldn't get 5 minutes if I was coaching. Offense is terrible with him at point.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Roy should tell Nate Britt, "son I know you can't figure out which hand you want to shoot with, how about you pretend you have no hands and don't shoot at all"

 

[heels05champs]

And Rick Barnes still owns Roy. Freakin Rick Barnes.

 

[dadika13]

This sucks.

 

[jeans15]

Roy should tell Nate Britt, "son I know you can't figure out which hand you want to shoot with, how about you pretend you have no hands and don't shoot at all"

And he should say earn your paycheck.
