UNC ONLY BASKETBALL 2024-25 SEASON

[SnoopRob]

Well, the second half is off to a better start.

So far a BillOfWrongs. ;-)

Everything looks better when the ball goes in the basket.

Scoring off turnovers vs bricking wide open 3s

The problem is what occurs when they’re not forcing turnovers

It’s 100% coaching that this team’s first half performances are what they are, especially in light of how we know they can play (eg, second half vs Kansas).

Do you think he coaches them to miss shots in the first half and make them in the second half, because that's the difference.

100% coaching?

That’s just stupid.

 

[Heelsandeers]

Florida either getting a bucket or turning it over

 

[Peppers49]

For better or for worse, the results always ultimately fall on the shoulders of the head coach. If it’s a poorly designed scheme that causes poor play, that’s on the coach. If it’s the players missing shots or not playing with energy, then that’s also on the coach for not getting better players. You can’t blame it on a front office like in professional sports.

He should give his halftime speech before the game.

This lady announcer makes me long for a dookie like gman or Bilas. She's a Florida girl I guess?

No but there’s something about this team’s preparedness that’s lacking.

He should give his halftime speech before the game.

That’s what I was going for above but worded it poorly out of frustration. My bad.

 

[JCTarheel82]

Carbon copy of the Kansas game.

 

[Mundial]

Softest rebounding team in a long time. We need EC to develop poise.

We also need HD to do better than pass it to RJ for a beyond NBA range 3 (I didn't see options on that in-bounds play at the end).

 

[ZZLPHeels]

Yay moral victory

 

[Heelsandeers]

Start of game execution end of game execution

[duluoz]

Maddening.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Our struggles to rebound really killed us down the stretch. We let Florida get a lot of second chance points when we had a chance to close out the game.

RJ’s front end free throw miss hurt as well.

I also thought there was a little fools’ gold in our comeback. While we certainly scored points off of hustle, we also scored a good number of points after a lot of dribbling and one-on-one play, which led to hitting some tough shots. That’s not sustainable.

Softest or smallest?
