UNC ONLY BASKETBALL 2024-25 SEASON

[Icky Mettle]

5 missed layups and dunks in a row by both teams combined within just a few seconds.

 

[4thgenheel]

well. we've missed as many dunks in this game as we attempted in some games last year, so.....that's something.

 

[CarolinaFever]

What a block by Trimble.

 

[4thgenheel]

The game is too fast for him at this level. He can't get a clean look to shoot.

it looks that way but the level he played very well at last year was better than elon.

the missouri valley conference is definitely better than the CAA.

 

[CarolinaFever]

RJ, Cadeau and Trimble are going to have to score a lot. Withers, Powell and Jackson need to just contribute and bring energy. I don't know what to do with the bigs, though. And Tyson isn't going to hack it.

Ian Jackson ugh

Rare defensive stand there.

Defense is well behind the offense so far. We’ll, the zone offense is also going to need some work, too.

We seem to be betting the other team can’t keep up offensively if we use a high risk/high reward scrambling defense that creates more fast break opportunities even if it provides the opponent more open opportunities…

 

[nycfan]

RJ having a rough night. We are obviously struggling to figure out complimentary lineups but feels like Powell has to play more and that and a 4-guard/wing lineup is the way we may have to go.

Has Jackson played this half?

Washington has not had a very good game — I know Elon has a 7-4 guy but still concerning. Kansas must be licking their chops.

Offense has been bad the second half. And the lack of a big is hurting the Heels.

 

[Icky Mettle]

I’m not one to be negative on game threads, but this is embarrassing. Not good.

 

[He's Not Here]

D has been abysmal

 

[CarolinaFever]

Really wish Hubert could get a freshman that can make an immediate high impact.

 

[CarolinaFever]

Does Hubert have them practice against a zone? Will he ever play a zone on defense?

 

[CarolinaFever]

Why is Jackson in and not RJ?

 

[theel4life]

Ian Jackson is so fucking overrated.

 

[nycfan]

yeesh

Our zone offense is everyone stand around to see if anyone else will shoot, apparently.

 

[nycfan]

Ian Jackson is so fucking overrated.

Seems waaaaay too early for that kind of judgment…

 

[CarolinaFever]

Lack of a good big really hurts UNC against a zone. Looks like the only way this team can score is in transition and hitting 3s. Really no inside threat and no one driving against the zone.

 

[nycfan]

I guess RJ has to get on his horse and one man us out of this mess.
