We're missing layups but we need to keep going to the rim....

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:19 AM

Remy taking way too many quick long shots...

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:15 AM

UNC is 4-17 and we're just up 3. They can't stop us inside. Drive, make layups, get ORBs, draw fouls. Stop settling for jumpers right now....

Ochai - you have to take that hard to the basket!!!!

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:11 AM

Go downhill dammit....

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:09 AM

JWil - no 3 pt attempts. Drive, draw fouls and rebound......

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:06 AM

Dave needs to establish deeper position - taking shots from too far out...

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:03 AM

A little lose with the ball. NC cannot stop us. Take it at them and shove it down their throats. Don't settle and let them off the hook...

Tarheels Game Thread β€’ Apr 05, 2022 01:00 AM

Take it to the rim every time down now...

Good analysis @drgnslayr. Would just amplify that from the get go the team needs to attack the rim. Whether that is getting it to Dave or penetrating. I don't think they can stop us going downhill. Invite contact. Drawing early fouls on Bacot and/or Manek will change the dynamic. Especially, JWil - don't be jacking up 3s. Definitely not your strength and it makes it easier on Manek. We should also learn from Baylor - apply some pressure on their guards. Don't let them get into their offense easily or quickly. If they are going to be hoisting 3s, which is almost certainly the case, make them rushed, contested shots.

Big 12 3 tournaments in a row with a championship game participant

B12 had underperformed in the tournament for a long while - that has really changed in the past few years. Not just 3 straight, but 3 different teams. Should have been 4 straight....

UNC and KU would be a track meet. Game at least in the 80s...

If we start rebounding on D we will win by double digits. We are making things hard

They have 1 guy outrebounding 3 or 4 of ours...

They are killing us with second chance points...

Need a couple of stops and open this back up...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 11:08 PM

Absolutely should have been a And 1...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 11:07 PM

The difference is that the Nova guys are leaning in at the basket. Our guys are falling away - esp. Dave with a skinny 6-8 guy on him...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 11:02 PM

No real defensive intensity other than from Juan...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:50 PM

Need the same intensity to start the 2d half as the 1st...

@stoptheflop said in Jay Wrong Game Thread:

@DCHawker Vill only shot 34% so a lot more rebound opportunities. KU shot 48%

Yes, but if we were doing the job on the defensive glass, all those misses should have lead to fast break opportunities. We just didn't do the job on the glass in the first half. Need to control the defensive boards in the second half - not let them get so many second chance points.

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:36 PM

Ochai and CB need to help on the boards - at least put a body on somebody! 1 RB each. Remy has 4. Villanova has 9 offensive rebounds - they are just out efforting us on the glass - other than Jalen and Mitch...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:31 PM

As shallow as Villanova is, we need to be drawing more fouls. 3 in the half is ridiculous...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:30 PM

Need to deny Gillespie the ball in the 2d half and quickly double him when he gets it. The other guys don't scare me...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:25 PM

Terrible job of blocking out. And, now settling for long shots - and from the guys we least want to be taking them....

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:16 PM

Terrible shot Remy...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:10 PM

CB does not have his head in the game...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 10:06 PM

With this lead, we should just continue to pound inside - wear them down...

Jay Wrong Game Thread β€’ Apr 02, 2022 09:59 PM

Making shots should open up the middle. If they start guarding higher, we need to drive it to the basket and draw fouls...

@drgnslayr said in Jay Wrong Game Thread:

We can't fall for their shot fakes or we put them on the line.

This is a tempo game. And that tempo may be only a slight difference.... but it still counts. We can't walk the ball up on offense. We push tempo. We build a lead and we get them out of the flow. We guard for 30 seconds of the clock. We don't leave our man... we leave our man, they burn the trey!

We take care of the ball... low TOs, and we rebound so we control possession count.

We push pace and they get tired with less depth.

This is a game that will be won with basketball IQ... both on the bench, and players.

All of the above - and, make shots - both from the field and FT line. We haven't shot the ball well in he tournament - even before that. If we can make shots, we win. Doesn't mean we can't win a game in the 50s, but that would probably come down to the final possession or two. Don't give Gillespie any breathing room...

Justin Moore β€’ Mar 28, 2022 12:20 PM

@Kcmatt7 said in Justin Moore:

I hope Self realizes that the two games he’s put Juando on their best player and not switched we are like 55 points better or something. He did the same thing against Pack/KSU and that was the key to the comeback.

Should do the same thing against Villanova. Bottle up Gillespie, much like Houston did. Let Samuels get his points. Without Moore, I don't think they can get enough points elsewhere. Gillespie is really the only one who is otherwise capable of going off, but he can be stopped if you focus on him.

Miami Hurricanes Game Thread β€’ Mar 27, 2022 08:13 PM

Everybody contributed big time. Jalen sucked shooting but was big on the boards in the 2d half. Dave set the tone at the start of the half. Mitch was more than solid all game. Ochai finally showed some life. CB too. Remy was Remy. But, I think the key was Juan D on McGusty the 2d half. Great adjustment by HCBS....

Ochai just not the guy you want to handle the ball with pressure....

Miami Hurricanes Game Thread β€’ Mar 27, 2022 07:54 PM

They will probably start pressing. Need to value the ball. Will need Juan back in at some point. Need to make FTs to finish this...

If Dave goes back him, hope HCBS tells him that we just has 6-6 guys guarding him, so just go straight up at the rim....

Why are we shooting from deep right now????

I don't want us taking them. I want to attack the rim...

Okay, but we need Jalen to stay around the rim, not the perimeter. He's 0-4 on 3....

Without Waardenburg, we can keep Dave in and just keeping attacking the rim and pounding the glass. We can foul their guys out of the game...

Miami Hurricanes Game Thread β€’ Mar 27, 2022 07:25 PM

We don't need to take 3s the rest of the game. Keep pounding it inside. Make them stop us, which I don't think they can. Hopefully, we will start making a few FTs...
