Virginia vs UNC game thread—-Saturday 22 Feb 2025

[IDUNK4HEELS]

There is no team over the years that I have hated seeing on the court with Carolina than Virginia because of their deliberate style of play on offense.The Cavs are very difficult to come back on so the Tar Heels need to jump on the Wahoos early and often. We also need for State to somehow win at home against Wake.

oregon winning doesn’t help…need these bubble teams to lose.

Yes but State beating Wake and Clemson beating SMU are even more important since those two teams were are some of the last teams in

agree

 

[DaveChapelle]

I'm curious to see how much TJ Power plays today.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I do not often cheer for NC State even with family that went there but today I am and with three minutes left they are just holding on

 

[DaveChapelle]

Of course State is going to take an 11 point lead with 2 minutes left and somehow make us miss our opening tip

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Will this dam State/Wake game EVER END

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

4-0 for UNC

 

[Oak ridger]

Unc 6 Va 0

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

11-2,for Carolina now. I have no details

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Styles a double double for state today

 

[Oak ridger]

Unc 15 Va 2

 

[2DDIMOND]

11-2,for Carolina now. I have no details

Lubin has 6, Withers hit a 3, & RJ 2 free throws.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Last two minutes of the State game has now taken eleven minutes

[DaveChapelle]

Watched the game on the ESPN app. That take by Powell was sick.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

McKneely with a brick

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice defense

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Powell on a inbounds play scores and a ft 18-2

 

[DaveChapelle]

Our bigs are playing strong on the defensive end. That's a big help to this team.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington a tremendous block and then Capt Jack BOOM from the left corner before McKneely stops the Carolina barrage with a basket 21-4

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Going to three bigs instead of 4 guards has turned the entire season

 

[DaveChapelle]

And Jalen gets a flagrant 1

 

[DaveChapelle]

And now Withers gets a tech

 

[UNC-75]

EC has certainly regressed in his play this season.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington called for a flagrant one which was weak giving Virginia two free throws 21-6 then McNeely scores again but Withers Boom then he is called for a tech leading to three wahoo points and Coffie a three answered by a Jackson drive and hoop 26-16

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers at the line drops two 28-16

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Murray a strong drive and hoop and Powell on the other end gets one ft to fall 29-18

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Saunders a long three but Tyson BOOM 32-21

 

[sctarheel30]

Wtg withers a three with a T stupid

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Buchanan a back door hoop but Capt Jackson BOOM on a step back three from Franklin Street

 

[DaveChapelle]

Wtg withers a three with a T stupid

He's not a very smart player.

But he's making 3s right now and rebounding well, so he's gotta play.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wtg withers a three with a T stupid

And eight points so far

 

[JDisaheelfan]

Don’t woof at the bench, but you see it plenty and it’s not called. Ref was lonely. The Wash flagrant was pathetic. If the VA guy is 3 inches taller or shorter, nothing gets called.

 

[DaveChapelle]

So I guess 5 star TJ Power is just not really in UVA's rotation. He got a couple minutes in their last game, but none so far tonight.

He's actually averaging less ppg this year than he did last year at dook.

 

[DaveChapelle]

The Washington flagrant was a terrible call by the refs.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Meanwhile Clemson up 29-28

 

[DaveChapelle]

Another dumb turnover trying to feed Lubin results in a 4 point play

 

[sctarheel30]

Let them climb back into it
