Tar Heels v Eagles at 9 pm: Biorhythms Here

[PTOHeel]

Is Jaydon Young injured? He’s been a regular contributor off the bench, but nothing tonight.

I think he's in now

Assists and rebounds. Good numbers so far this season.

When a missed dunk is a metaphor.

Well the Heels looked better in the second half again. Gotta figure out how to have more focused efforts and more energy in the first half.

 

[grubar]

2nd game in a row with double digit TOs in 1st half and 0 TOs in 2nd half (at least until the very end)

I know it's against Central but Zayden High has looked pretty good

He'd do quite well in the MEAC, I imagine.

CWilson is a freaking baller

What freshman big men were this good?

Jamison, maybe Sam, Brad and Rasheed. Brandon Wright was great but not a modern player really. Tyler was amazing. Sean was on his way before he got hurt.

JR Reid.

Wilson & Veesaar combined for 33 points and 24 rebounds and 9 blocks, shooting 11-13 from the field. Which is pretty great.

But also reminded me of one of the best individual games I ever saw from a UNC player: in 2016, against conference opponent Florida State, Brice Johnson scored 39 points and pulled down 23 rebounds(!!!), shooting 14-16. He “only” blocked three shots (but you know against FSU).

That's a lot of O-rebs for Central. I missed the game because I was at a concert. Was it just long rebounds off missed threes? Or were we not taking care of the defensive glass?

Actually looking closer at the stats it's 8 O-rebs and 6 team O-rebs, so unlucky bounces account for a big part.

Honestly, I think it pretty much just came down to Central missing a lot of shots. They shot 16-66. When you miss 50 shots, it gives you a lot of opportunities for offensive rebounds.

Also, Hubert pulled the starters with a lot of time left. I think there may have been as many as 7 minutes left when they sat. So the lineup got a little smaller. And then he cleared the bench with a couple minutes left and the lineup got really small. I wouldn’t be surprised if several of those came at the end.

Harrison always struck me as a little too deliberate. It felt like he was holding back because he was thinking through everything, rather than let things be instinctual. Wilson’s on another level.

I can see that. Barnes was worried a lot about his brand as a player instead of just playing. Wilson also reminds me of Jamison and Marvin Williams.

I see some Big Game James in Caleb.

That game was hilarious. I kept thinking: "there's no way that Brice is just going to keep hitting everything" and then he just kept hitting everything.

14/53 chances. Around 26%

Meanwhile, UNC got 12/28 offensive rebound chances. 43%

This! One of his dunks looked like vintage James Worthy
