Look-In: It is United Nations Day in Oahu for the Tar Heels as they face the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors with 9 foreign players on their 15 man roster (Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Lithuania, and Japan). And these are tough, tall foreigners who are 4-0 with wins over Life Pacific (?), San Jose State, Pacific, and Weber State (grrrr IYKYK). Legit modern center Tanner Christensen (6-10, #32, Utah State) leads Hawaii with 17 ppg and 7 rpg and is followed by Sophmore Kiwi Tom Beattie (6-5, #2) who scores at 12 ppg. Frontliner Harry Rouhliadeff (#14, 6-9, AUS) is plays a Euro-Game and scores 7.5. The heart of the squad is point man Kody Williams (#0, 6-0) who walked on (all the way from Minnetonka, MN) to become a scholarship player and starter (9 ppg, 3 apg). Backcourt mate Marcus Greene (#4, 6-2, 10 ppg, 3apg) rolled in from California (This is his 4th school in as many years). Best bench man is Gytis Nameiska (#5, 6-8, 11 ppg 7 rpg, Lithuania, Xavier). Aussie born Coach Gunot (he played at Swarthmore) has won 163 games so far in his 11 (on-going) seasons at HU and is coming off back-to-back 20 wins campaigns. They defend the Trey well (but don’t shoot it so good) – indeed, defense is the key to their success. They average (so far) over 80 points per game so they aren’t a “let the air out of the ball” type of squad but expect them to work to control pace versus Carolina in this after-midnight tilt. They are the Big West Conference favorites this year and have HIGH hopes to make the NCAA.

Frontline: Low marks for Washington and Luben and good arcs for Claude and Brown.

Wings: Powell and Tyson have solid physicals while Jackson is all below the fold.

Guards: Lots of ‘want-to’ from R.J. Davis and a soaring physical for Trimble. Cadeau is in the upper arc area athletically though bottomed out with intel.

Overall: The Tar Heels have taken a great swing biorhythmically from a week ago when they were chart toppers. At present they are struggling to rise above the 50% mark. That heralds a great possibility of either/or some sloppy play or step-ups from some young men making the most of court time and their own circadian rhythms (separate from said Biorthymic Ones). We’ll find out who the night owls are tonight…both among the Tar Heel Faithful and the young men wearing the Carolina Blue. Coach Davis has an elevated Wisdom Score, boding well for the chess game that coaches often are called upon to play. Las Vegas calls for Carlina by 15.5. Ritmos make it closer – say 11.

Catch a nap – set your alarm. Hope the Heels don’t need a wake-up call.

Will we win a game on Maui is the better question. Dayton is no joke

You aren’t kidding. A lot of pressure on this Hawaii game and UNC has a not so great history in games on the way to and from Hawaii over the years.

The Maui tournament is loaded. I had forgotten that Chaminade only plays in odd years now.
 
I like Hawaii’s uniforms, sorta.

Our defense has been spotty but the Rainbow Warriors have helped with shaky passing.
 
D’oh. Waaaay too many offensive rebounds given up so far.

Now a turnover. Given that we are playing without Cadeau nearly the entire half, the offense is generally doing fine, despite that TO, and we would have a bigger lead but for several missed layups and shots in the lane by our guards.
 
Ummm does Christensen have any eligibility left to go portaling next season? Next semester?

Ugggggh. 11-point lead cut to five with increasingly ragged play on offense against the zone and no answer inside against their bigs.

Hube brings Cadeau back in to try to stop offense sputtering.
 
41-34 Heels at half but we let them (and their crowd) back in it in last 7-8 minutes of half. We finally got some threes to go against their zone in final minute after seeing the lead cut to 3 with about 90 seconds left.
 
Thing that worries me the most tonight is seeing a few instances of hesitation on shots by RJ. I mean he has 18 points on 50% shooting so far, so don’t want to overstate it. Just surprised to ever see him hesitate — cost him a travel on an open three and has led to a couple of passes in traffic that seemed to put us in worse position.

But our interior defense also remains a problem. Withers is having a tough night and Jalen is getting bullied on defense. We are getting destroyed on the boards, which is allowing Hawaii to hang around at home.

Ugggh. Also worried about whether Tyson is going to be able to step up to this level of play.
 
Fortunately they are only 7-22 for three. We are 4-11 for three.

But Hawaii has no answer for the RJ/Seth/Cadeu triumvirate…
