Just watched a replay of the second half and I’m still not exactly sure how they won that game

I’ll take it but damn. They still were not good

I’s clear Ian needs max minutes. Sit who you must

Jackson is electric, but the UCLA game was only the 2nd game this season that Carolina scored more points than they allowed with Jackson on the floor. His defense will need to continue to improve.

Not saying that we are playing good defense but points per game doesn't mean nearly as much as points per possession when you play a really fast paced offense with a greater number of possessions. I expect you understand that so why are you making that argument? A good faith one, and there are plenty, is more interesting.

Rj hasnt played d in 5 yrs. Not because of lack of effort hes just over-matched physically
 
I did think our free throw defense was pretty strong. We caused them to miss 7 free throws in the last 11 minutes.

There is no "current dumpster fire".

Look, man, if Duke, Kansas, or Kentucky had 5 losses before Christmas, it’d be described as a dumpster fire. Comes with the blue blood territory. It’s also the worst record and defensive #’s at this point in a season since 8-20.

It’s a little less a dumpster fire after yesterday. But they easily could have lost that game. Credit to them for fighting back (again), but I think it’s just that things happened to work out for them this time. I don’t see where anything was a cathartic breakthrough or anything.

Try to rattle off several in a row, find some confidence, figure out how to play with 4 guards, and see where we are in a month.
