Yeah, I agree with his post. I just wanted to put some numbers to it and see if some of the basketball experts here could explain it in more depth than Trimble couldn't stop Boopie.

Can anyone explain how Trimble had a career offensive day (22 P, 5A, 0 TO), but Carolina was outscored by 23 in the 36:08 Trimble was on the floor, and Carolina outscored SMU by 9 in the 3:52 Trimble was on the bench? 16:53 on -8, 3:07 off +8 in the first half 19:15 on -15, 0:45 off +1 in the...

Not a single one of those is a viable option.

Middle school years are brutal.

Yes, Carolina brings in players every year with no ties to the Carolina Basketball tradition, but the environment is already in place for them to become acclimated. If Carolina were to bring in someone with no ties to Carolina, with a new staff with no ties, and mostly new players with no ties...

I disagree with your underlying premise.

My opinion differs. The game has changed.

Don't be like those fans. 😉 I'm not sure that coach Davis is the absolute best coach in the world, but he's only been a head coach for 4 1/2 years, the team is 13-2 and a lot of fun to watch. They're all learning and improving, they beat Kansas and Kentucky and several other teams, and they're...

Rational, sure. If I wanted knee-jerk overreaction, I can find that at IC or Facebook. I consider you rational and intelligent. I get the disappointment of today's loss, but some 18-22 year old kids lost a basketball game to a good team and a good coach at their place. It happens. Coach Smith...

UK is 9-5 with a $22,000,000 payroll. Do you think Mark Pope gets fired this year? St Johns is 9-5 and lost at home today to #78 Providence. Should Rick Pitino be on the hot seat? Mick Cronin? He's 10-4 with Donovan Dent and lost to Cal. Florida is 9-4 and lost to #53 TCU? Is Todd Golden out...

Yes, I do think their pressure disrupted our offense. The defensive pressure of their guards was the first thing I mentioned about them in my pregame comment. Carolina was able to overcome that and had a good game offensively. Not great, but Carolina will normally win games when they score 83...

Carolina scored 83 points in 69 possessions. That's better than Carolina did against Florida State, Ohio State, Georgetown, Kentucky, Navy, and Radford. There's plenty that Carolina could do better, but there usually is. Wilson and Veesaar didn't have good games. The story of the game was...

Shot clock violation

BJ Edwards can be a problem on defense (as can Boopie Miller). Edwards had a triple double earlier this year with 10 steals. That's the only triple-double in ACC history with steals as one of the categories. Carolina's offense is marginally better than SMU's defense, and Carolina's defense is...
