Carolina makes a nice run to get to that 70-69 spot...that lineup showed some signs. The play from 3 minutes in was awful on both ends. Some really bad possessions on offense and not much better on the defensive end. RJ Davis was very sloppy with the ball today.

The front court is overmatched game in, game out. Lubin would be a nice energy guy, fourth post type. Washington just gets pushed around too easily and just doesn't have a strong enough base to use leverage.

This is one of the road games that you need to pick up for your tourney resume.
 
In the words of Dave Wasserman, I’ve seen enough. I have no faith that Hubert can be an effective coach here. The run in year 1 greatly skewed things - without that, this would be a no-brainer.

Just about anyone could get the results Hubert’s getting right now. Carolina should always have an above replacement level coach.
 
I've not commented on Coach Davis up to this point but I've seen enough to believe he is not the answer. He doesn't appear to be able to work the portal well. He certainly doesn't appear to be able to get this team to get. I dont see a real positive path forward.
 
Same story in almost every loss. RJ struggles. We struggle to guard. Get back in it and then just make awful, boneheaded plays down the stretch.

The offense makes no sense. They struggle for 20 seconds and then go 1v1. What are we trying to do?

Around the 3-minute mark: UNC down 1. Louisville misses a close range shot. Withers is in perfect rebounding position but he mistimes his jump (a common theme with him). He watches the ball fall instead of going after it— just stands there— and a Louisville player gets the offensive rebound. Lubin then fouls a guy shooting a very long 3-pointer. That guy hits all 3 of his free throws. It was all downhill from there.

It was a perfect clinic on how not to play down the stretch.
 
Quick question, how many shots to Ian have in the last five minutes? Any guesses?

Spoiler alert...how the fuck can HD not insist that he gets some shots? He's (currently) our best offensive player. It's mind boggling.
 
Really, Carolina basketball has been down overall since the 2019-2020 season. If they miss the tournament this year it would really be the third out of the last six years. The other three years they were on the bubble two of them, losing in the first round one of those years, and losing to a lower seed last year.

Roy's last two seasons were bad. They would have missed the 2020 tournament and barely made the 2021 tournament only to lose in the first round. Beating Duke at Cameron in K's last game there and the tournament run was great Hubert's first year. Until then the season wasn't good, though, and they probably wouldn't have made the tournament if they didn't beat Duke at Cameron. Missed the tournament the next year, but did win the ACC regular season tournament last season. Then they lost to a lower seed in the tournament. It isn't the consistency that Carolina basketball is known for. I know things are different in the world of college sports, but that still doesn't mean Carolina should just settle for where they have been the last 6 years. No one is going to be a great program if they settle.

You don’t need to post this after every loss
 
Carolina simply can’t keep any team from scoring.

This was our 2nd lowest offensive output all year. 70 lousy points.
68 is the lowest, in a win against GaTech.

If you can’t keep the other team from scoring, you damn well better put up more than 70 pts.

Another long season ahead.
