UNC ONLY BASKETBALL 2024-25 SEASON

[Peppers49]

For all of the hand wringing our fans are doing, there is still a path for us to get back on track. We really need an extended winning streak in January though. It would be unreasonable to expect the team to go undefeated in conference play, but prolonging the losses for as long as possible is the key. A slip up early in conference play like @ Louisville for example would immediately bring back all of the pressure and negativity.

If Carolina lost to Elon, that would be a dumpster fire. All 5 losses are in quad 1, along with 2 q1 wins. This team is a lot closer to 10-2 with 5 q1 wins than to "dumpster fire".

At some point I think you have to start Jackson over Cadeau

If Jackson proves he can play D1 defense, and Cadeau keeps having high turnover to assist ratio games, yes, I would agree.

RJ Davis wasn't "ridiculous" last season from 3, but he has been so far this season.

As donbosco pointed out above, when Davis' shots are removed, the rest of the team has a better 3FG% this season than last season. Davis is struggling. Rather than lazily blaming "coaching", maybe we should look at actual player performance. I'm not blaming RJ Davis, I'm not criticizing him as a player, I'm glad he's a Tar Heel and I want him taking the shots, but I want last season's Davis. Something ain't right with him, and for him, the team, and all of us, I hope he gets it figured out.

RJ Davis 3.1-7.7 39.8% 35 mpg

Come on man. There is no comparison there

Lazily blaming coaching says the guy regurgitating numbers with zero context

Crazy that top 4 contains one current Tar Heel and one former Tar Heel.

That's not the top four that was just four notable. Kentucky had 3 main rotation players over 44% last season. RJ Davis hitting almost 40% isn't "ridiculous", but a 1st team AA career 36% shooter hitting only 25% is "ridiculous", and it isn't the coach's fault based on all avaliable evidence.

There are 200 names. I didn't go through all of them to check for playing time. Davis was shooting close to 40 3FG% last season, and he's shooting close to 25% 3FG% this season. The rest of the team doesn't seem to be affected nearly as much.

You said davis shot a ridiculous percentage last season.I showed you two hundred players that shot up better percentage. Everything else is you moving the goalpost.

I think Davis is awesome, and I hope he gets back to last year's form, but to blame coaching, because a player isn't performing like he has in the past, is "ridiculous".

 

[BillOfRights]

Even more proof how far we have fallen being underdogs to an unranked team

That doesn't prove what you think it does. Almost everybody could be an underdog to an unranked team on the road.

He attempted the most shots of any high major player and shot 8 3PA/game

So yeah, I will still stand by 43% given the volume and degree of difficulty of the shots he took, was ridiculous

If you want to make whatever point it is you're attempting, at least compare him to players who play a similar role

I think Davis is awesome, and I hope he gets back to last year's form, but to blame coaching, because a player isn't performing like he has in the past, is "ridiculous".

I'm not blaming coaching for RJ's shooting
