Just realized Boopie Miller is SMU's leading scorer

Which makes me somewhat less worried

Scored 5 pts last year in Chapel Hill
 
They’ve got 6 players averaging 9 to 11 ppg as well. Massive freshman Turk (7-2) and 2 6-10 guys that play minutes. Still, leading rebounder is Matt Cross at 6-7 (Frosh year at Miami) who gets 8 rpg.

There was not a called timeout before the Free Throw. There was a slight delay while the refs stupidly looked at the monitor to confirm Cadeau's three pointer was in fact shot from behind the arc.

Yeah. Even though it wasn’t officially a timeout, it was effectively a timeout. It was the perfect time to discuss what to do after a made free throw.

Seven footer, hmmm maybe CHD should interview him for next season while were there. :unsure:
 
Fun facts about UNC and SMU:

Hubert Davis replaced Roy Williams as UNC head coach. Roy Williams replaced Matt Doherty (his former assistant at Kansas) as UNC head coach. And prior to that, Roy Williams replaced Larry Brown as Kansas head coach.

Andy Enfield replaced Rob Lanier as SMU head coach, who replaced Tim Jankovich as SMU as head coach, who replaced Larry Brown as SMU head coach, who replaced Matt Doherty as SMU head coach.

So both Hubert Davis and Andy Enfield have been part of a line of head coaches who have replaced both Matt Doherty and Larry Brown.

And Tim Jankovich, who replaced Larry Brown at SMU, followed Bill Self to Kansas as an assistant coach when Bill Self replaced Roy Williams at Kansas. And Bill Self was once an assistant
to Larry Brown at Kansas. And of course Larry Brown had once been an assistant to Dean Smith at UNC. So every head coach at UNC, SMU, and Kansas who replaced either Matt Doherty, Larry Brown, or Roy Williams— all of whom
had coached at both UNC and Kansas in some capacity— had previously coached at some point and in some capacity at either UNC or Kansas or both.

That's a family shrub.
 
SMU is a very good 3FG% team (38%), very good OR%, and they get to the line a lot. Not great defensively.

They play 4 G/W more than 20 min/g, so Carolina may match up well outside. They will have 3 guys 6-4 or less on the floor together at times.

Boopie Miller, who some may remember from Wake Forest last year, runs the show. Great playmaker, capable 3FG% (37% last season), but only 1/3 of his shots are 3FGAs.

Edwards starts at the 2 and shoots 35.5% 3FG%, but their 2 best 3FG shooters are Harris and Oquendo, who usually come off the bench, and take half of their shots from 3.

Matt Cross (Miami, Louisville) starts at the 3, and spends more time at the 4 when 3 of the G/Ws are on the floor together. He had a 13 pt/15 rebound game against Carolina, and is 5-9 3FG career against Carolina.

6-11 Traore starts at the 4, not high usage, but good FG%, good OR%, gets to the line.

7-2 freshman Yigitoglu from Turkiye has a great OR%, good FG%, great shot blocker, gets to the line, but very foul prone. 6-10 Colbert, ditto (a little better offensively).

kenpom has Carolina 88-82 (69%)

3 degrees of separation. And they’re probably all 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon.

And I met Roy! So I’m only 4 degrees away from my man Bacon.
Actually, I think the game goes we are all pretty much within 6 degrees of Kevin. Thus the name. I think that’s how the game is played, correct?

From goheels.com

• Carolina is 2-1 all-time vs. the Mustangs with wins in Dallas at Reunion Arena in 1986 and the Smith Center in 1987.
• This is the first time the teams have played since a 90-74 Tar Heel victory in Chapel Hill on 12/12/1987. J.R. Reid led all scorers with 21 points, one of four Tar Heels to score in double figures.
