Biorhythms for UNC @Stanford: 9 pm Tip on ACCN

This is a poorly constructed roster with obvious holes that is being coached badly into being worse than they should be.

Those things should never be true of a basketball team at the University of North Carolina.

The roster itself is fairly good. It has a lack of a “floor leader” PG & a good back up big, but it should be no worse than a top 15-20 roster.

I think utilization of the roster is the vast majority of the problem.
 
Neither Evans nor Luca for that matter are really panning out. Seth had a poor game, and Powell barely got minutes. Young got minutes but his D was awful. That was a really demoralizing loss.
 
This team just lacks mental toughness.

It’s nothing physical imo. They don’t fight through off ball screens well, (or on ball for that matter) and they don’t have the mental toughness to hit FTs more consistently.

They have mental lapses like losing their man in the corner way too often. Some of that is the constant switching and some communication.

Trimble plays around 60% speed all the time and is the most unwilling passer I can remember. He should be a garbage points guy, as in put backs, and fast break finishes from other players, and he’s being forced into a playmaker role and is he the furthest from a playmaker we could have.

We have no guard that can lead the offense properly. The bigs are great at nearly everything but they can’t be relied on to get the guards open. If the 2 bigs get a touch it’s in the best interest for them to take the shot.
