Wake Forest at North Carolina game thread—-Monday 22 January 2024

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nobody likes a quick turnaround but both teams played on Saturday so it is anybody’s guess who will be feeling the best…

Wake in the ACC comes into the contest 5-2 and they are tied for second and they just got back one of their better players Damari Monsanto.

The Demon Deacons presently have 5 players who score in double digits and as a team they shoot 39 per cent from downtown. Hunter Sallis leads the team in scoring and he is surrounded by a bunch of shooters and bigs.

Both teams are averaging 80 points plus a contest but I do not think that this will be a shootout because these are two tough Tobacco Road teams that come in with pride and lots of talent..

I feel and think the loud home crowd will help the Tar Heels pull out a close one like 80-75…

Wake has size inside .. an area Bacot struggles. Wake shoots really well from 3 and we have had issues closing out on the 3pt. shooters for awhile. Our defense has been fairly good recently but our offense has been hit and miss. Doubt we run away with this one. Hope hubs sub patterns or the zebras don't cause to much damage to the cause. GO HEELS !!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Miller a short jumper over Davis 2-0

 

[UNC-75]

What’s with the pink shoes? Guys getting paid to wear them??

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina first three shots all three point attempts then Ryan a mid range jumper 2-2

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis uses Bacot screen and scores on a reverse layup then Miller post up on Cadeau 4-4

What’s with the pink shoes? Guys getting paid to wear them??

I wondered the same thing .. fng ugly color

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

0-5 from downtown so far

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Both teams in a deep freeze in shooting so far

 

[DaveChapelle]

Stop settling for 3s. Get the ball inside

 

[UNC-75]

I wondered the same thing .. fng ugly color

Do they glow in the dark? Ryan the only guy who looks like he looked at the mirror in the locker room.

Breast cancer awareness

Considering that Bacot has hit like one 3 in his entire college career, he should probably be red lighted from taking them.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Dean Dome looks packed tonight

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram at the line misses two

 

[UNC-75]

Breast cancer awareness

Thanks. That makes sense and worthy of the look. What’s Ingram bringing attention to with the yellow?

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble in early

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

I like the old fashion uniforms

 

[heels05champs]

The amount of 3’s taken is ridiculous.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carr fouled by Ingram and he hits one ft 5-4

 

[UNC-75]

Considering that Bacot has hit like one 3 in his entire college career, he should probably be red lighted from taking them.

But he’s due.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Davis a runner 6-5

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers fouled going baseline by Carr

 

[DaveChapelle]

Washington screws up twice in 2 seconds

 

[DaveChapelle]

Thanks. That makes sense and worthy of the look. What’s Ingram bringing attention to with the yellow?

Probably just wearing shoes he's comfortable in.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Sallis a layup then a silly turnover by Washington 7-6 as Wake is forced to call time out when they cannot get the ball in play

 

[UNC-75]

Ugly game so far. The team that settles down will win this game.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Washington a flush on a great assist from Davis then baskets by Milker and Davis then Hildreth a corner three and Davis another bank layup then he is fouled trying the same shot 12-12. Every player for UNC has been subbed for other then Davis and Ryan…

 

[DaveChapelle]

RJ fed Washington a perfect pass, which he bobbled before dunking.

Wish the big fella could put it together.

 

[al would]

RJ running point again ???

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

wake is posting up the smaller UNC guards and they score again 14-12

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Withers at the line hits two 14-14

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Trimble in for Davis

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Ingram posts up his man and scores 16-14 and then Carr fouls Withers and he cans two more from the line 18-14

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wojcik in for Withers and he fouls immediately then Cadeau coast to coast 20-14 and with Davis getting a break Cadeau goes to the hole and banks one on again as Carolina is on a 10-0 and it is time out time for the demon Deacons 22-14. Another first half with Bacot not scoring yet

 

[sctarheel30]

When rj or Elliott goes to the basket it’s almost impossible to stop them

 

[UNC-75]

RJ running point again ???

No. It looks like Ingram. 😩

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carr a short hook 22-16

 

[DaveChapelle]

Get off the floor Wojcik

 

[sctarheel30]

Get off the floor Wojcik

He did
