UNC vs Virginia showdown thread--Saturday 18 Feb 2017

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Salt must like the Commodore ' s music because he just put up 2 bricks

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

44-29 with 12 minutes to go as most of the starters minus Berry are getting a blow for the final stretch

 

[UNC-75]

Berry having a tough night. Hope he frees up for a nice three to gain some confidence.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

As good as the Heels have been in stretches, they've still only scored 44 and no one other than Jackson has more than 6.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both times ice cold Jackson a follow up 46-29

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I get the thrill of the massive block, but they can tap those and control them!!!

 

[UNC-75]

I'm sorry to say that guy with the man bun is creeping me out.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Jackson has forced 3 of his last 4 shots

 

[UNC-75]

What's apparent to me is that if motivated we can play some very good defense.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Siiiiiggggghhhhhh....nice bailout. zebra.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

There's Mr Berry!

 

[Littlejon]

Not a glass half full feeling, but the moo game notwithstanding, Berry just hasn't looked close to what he did early on. I love the kid to death, just wondered what is going on with him and hope like crazy he can shake it off soon.

Both teams are shooting it like crap. UVa going 0-forever from 3.

And just like that Berry nails a 3!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Berry Boom from the top 49-29

 

[UNC-75]

And Berry does as suggested

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Both teams are shooting it like crap. UVa going 0-Clemson from 3.

FIFY

 

[UNC-75]

I get the thrill of the massive block, but they can tap those and control them!!!

Could have caught it , not even blocked. Emotions get that blocked out of bounds. Not many know how to softly block.

 

[TarHeelMark]

getting some nice run-outs tonight, which is rare against UVA

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I haven't seen a UVa team get this tempo dictated to them since Bennett came to town.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks and Meeks score in the paint 53-29

 

[Littlejon]

THEO!

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I tell ya, at least once a game, I have to laugh at a shot that Pinson takes that goes in.

 

[Littlejon]

Dang. I was hoping they wouldn't score a 3 all night. Oh well, let's make that their only one.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson with a circus shot 56-34 and Perrantes finally hits a three after the team was zero for the spring

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

THEO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Pinson a corner three 59-34

 

[RP12]

The Bradley block was just right he was keeping it inbounds but it kicked off Britt's foot.

 

[UNC-75]

We play these guys in 9 days in their arena. Best to put in some walk ons and call it a night.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meeks a tip in 61-36 and Meeks again 63-37. Put the cheerleaders in, the popcorn vendors. the ushers, the lot people let everybody get some wahoo hide tonight

 

[RP12]

I'm sure the return game will be tough but UVa just doesn't have a ton of offense.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Hicks a wide open jumper 65-39

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I tell ya what, the defensive rotations have been TIGHT all night.

 

[UNC-75]

Come on. I can't be the only one messed up with the man bun guy.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Put Paige and Johnson in

 

[UNC-75]

I tell ya what, the defensive rotations have been TIGHT all night.

I think our best defensive effort.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Put Paige and Johnson in

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Littlejon]

If you had told me a few weeks ago that we would beat UVa, even at home, like we are tonight, I would've laughed at you. Our defense has been really good, but lets be honest, UVa couldn't hit their butts with both hands tonight.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

65-41 final. Virginia played like State the other night as they waved the white flag early

 

[Archer2]

Couldn't watch or listen to the game but was occasionally getting updates in the phone. I was very pleased with the win, to say the least. Even with less talent this year, UVA forces you to play a style of ball that most often gives them a chance to win. As someone said, we out-Virginiaed Virginia.
