UNC ONLY BASKETBALL 2024-25 SEASON

[stankeylegjones]

I agree to disagree. We were missing a floor leader, a leader who started. And we were missing a legit big. Had to have them both to be top 25 ALL year long. Also Elliott's TO/A ratio wasn't where it needs to be for top 25 - all year long.

Of course we had talent. We had talent good enough to be in the top 36. But we were missing some huge pieces. We couldn't get past d00k, Louisville and Clemson in our own league.

Could we have been top 30 in the NET? Yes, with wins against Stanford, Wake and Pitt and being on the right side of just one of those Q1 games (the d00k, Fla or M.St game). But we didn't. And it wasn't just poor coaching. It was because we were missing two big pieces.

Yes, we will just have to agree to disagree. Snoop provided some metrics, there are many more, including the "eye test." They should have been top 25 all year. That they weren't mainly falls on the coaching staff.

And the coach was given an extension in December. The beat goes on.

Not sure why you keep saying they struggled for 3/4 of HD’s first season.

They did not.

Lots of analysts had them on the bubble until they beat Duke at Cameron.

Lots of analysts had them on the bubble until they beat Duke at Cameron.

They won 17 of 20 going into the title game. That’s at least half a season.
