His whole problem is staying in the game with those 8 fouls in 36 minutes. Chinoso Obokoh didn’t play in any of the three games. If he plays in this one we are in trouble. Tyler Roberson 1/26/15 35M 6/9 2FG 0/0 TREY 1/4 FT 13 PTS 2 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 5 AST 0 BLK 3 STL 0 TO 5 PF 1/9/16 32M 5/5 2FG 0/0 TREY 3/4 FT 13 PTS 2 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 1 AST 1 BLK 0 STL 2 TO 2 PF 2/29/16 34M 4/8 2FG 0/0 TREY 1/1 FT 11 PTS 6 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 2 PF Total: 101M 15/22 2FG 0/0 TREY 5/9 FT 37 PTS 10 O-REBS 11 D-REBS 6 AST 1 BLK 3 STL 3 TO 9 PF Comments: T-Rob has played very well against the heels, averaging 12 points and 6 rebounds a game, 11 of 17 from the offensive boards. He’s also shot 68% from the field. Tyler Lydon 1/9/16 23M 1/2 2FG 0/2 TREY 0/0 FT 2 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 1 AST 4 BLK 1 STL 1 TO 3 PF 2/29/16 36M 2/4 2FG 1/3 TREY 5/6 FT 12 PTS 1 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 0 AST 2 BLK 1 STL 0 TO 3 PF Total: 59M 3/6 2FG 1/5 TREY 5/6 FT 14 PTS 1 O-REBS 6 D-REBS 1 AST 6 BLK 2 STL 1 TO 6 PF Comment: T-L hasn’t played as well against the Heels as he has been in this tournament, (or in the Bahamas). But he always finds way to be productive. Those six blocks came against a big front line. He’s gotten those 6 defensive rebs and was 5 for 6 from the line in the last game. Still, we’ll nee4d more form him to win this game, especially more than 1/5 from the arc in 59 minutes. Malachi Richardson 1/9/16 35M 2/5 2FG 4/10 TREY 0/0 FT 16 PTS 1 O-REBS 3 D-REBS 5 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 4 TO 4 PF 2/29/16 37M 2/5 2FG 1/4 TREY 3/4 FT 10 PTS 0 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 4 TO 4 PF Total: 72M 4/10 2FG 5/14 TREY 3/4 FT 26 PTS 0 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 5 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 8 TO 8 PF Comments: The definition of a talent freshman, Malware has been our most inconsistent but also most exciting player. Against Virginia he broke out of a 4 for 27 slump to score 17 points on 6 for 8 shooting in a run that took us from 34-45 to 64-58 and on to the Final Four. He’s been productive against the Tar Heels but not En Fuego. He’s helped out on the defensive boards and had 5 assists on the first game. But there have been too many fouls and turnovers. He’s got to avoid that and shoot the ball better to put us over the top in this game. Trevor Cooney 1/26/15 40M 6/13 2FG 4/13 TREY 4/4 FT 28 PTS 0 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 3 TO 3 PF 1/9/16 39M 5/9 2FG 5/12 TREY 2/2 FT 27 PTS 2 O-REBS 3 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 0 TO 2 PF 2/29/16 33M 1/4 2FG 2/7 TREY 6/6 FT 14 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 0 TO 2 PF Total: 112M 12/26 2FG 11/32 TREY 12/12 FT 69 PTS 2 O-REBS 6 D-REBS 3 AST 0 BLK 5 STL 3 TO 7 PF Comment: UNC knows nothing about this disappointing Trevor Cooney ‘Cuse fans moan about. He’s killed them, although not so much in the last game. A strapping lad like Trevor could help us a little more on the boards but he’s made some steals and took care of the ball but he’s got to score – in his jump shots and on his drives- for us to win the game. Michael Gbinije 1/26/15 38M 3/7 2FG 3/7 TREY 1/3 FT 16 PTS 0 O-REBS 4 D-REBS 5 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 1 TO 4 PF 1/9/16 37M 3/7 2FG 0/6 TREY 4/5 FT 10 PTS 2 O-REBS 4 D-REBS 4 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 3 TO 4 PF 2/29/16 39M 5/10 2FG 1/6 TREY 4/5 FT 17 PTS 1 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 7 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 7 TO 3 PF Total: 114M 11/24 2FG 4/19 TREY 9/13 FT 43 PTS 3 O-REBS 10 D-REBS 16 AST 0 BLK 3 STL 11 TO 11 PF Comment: Mike’s our star and so receives the most attention by the other team’s defense and North Carolina can give you plenty of attention. But he’s had some big games despite the attention, just not against the Tar Heels. Obviously, we need him to come up big in this game. He looks for his teammates, thus the 16 assists. He’s got 11 steals but the same number of turnovers. The big thing is that he’s got to shoot it better than 4 for 19 from outside. Franklin Howard 1/9/16 5M 0/1 2FG 0/1 TREY 0/0 FT 0 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 0 PF 2/29/16 12M 2/2 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 4 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 0 TO 0 PF Total: 17M 2/3 2FG 0/1 TREY 0/0 FT 4 PTS 0 O-REBS2 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 1 TO 0 PF Comment: Frank is playing an increasing role on this team and could be our point guard of the future. He’ll see some action in this game. Kaleb Joseph 1/26/15 24M 1/2 2FG 0/0 TREY 2/2 FT 4 PTS 0 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 4 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 5 TO 3 PF 1/9/16 2M 0/1 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 0 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF Total: 26M 1/3 2FG 0/0 TREY 2/2 FT 4 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 4 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 5 TO 3 PF Comment: Kaleb’s career has gone in the opposite direction. He used to be our point guard but will be a spectator in this game. North Carolina Kennedy Meeks 1/26/15 32M 6/13 2FG 0/0 TREY 5/8 FT 17 PTS 4 O-REBS 4 D-REBS 1 AST 1 BLK 1 STL 5 TO 3 PF 1/9/16 14M 4/8 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 8 PTS 2 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 0 AST 1 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 1 PF 2/29/16 13M 3/5 2FG 0/0 TREY 4/4 FT 10 PTS 2 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 1 TO 2 PF Total: 59M 13/26 2FG 0/0 TREY 9/12 FT 35 PTS 8 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 2 AST 2 BLK 2 STL 7 TO 6 PF Comment: Meeks is a load. He can score inside. He gets to the line and makes his free throws. He stays out of foul trouble. He could be a better defensive rebounder in our games, (although his overall numbers are good). His playing time has declined somewhat because of the development of other big men but not as precipitously as the above numbers suggest: he’s never really been a 30+ minute guy. Isaiah Hicks 1/26/15 11M 3/3 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 6 PTS 1 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 2 PF 1/9/16 22M 5/5 2FG 0/0 TREY 11/13 FT 21 PTS 1 O-REBS 7 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 4 PF 2/29/16 22M 4/9 2FG 0/0 TREY 2/4 FT 10 PTS 5 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 0 AST 1 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 3 PF Total: 55M 12/17 2FG 0/0 TREY 13/17 FT 37 PTS 7 O-REBS 8 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 9 PF Comment: This guy’s been an even bigger load, especially at the Dome, where he murdered us. Meeks is a little bigger at 6-9 265 vs. 6-8 230 but we have trouble with either one, especially when Brice Johnson is feeding them from the high post. Joel James 1/26/15 8M 1/3 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 2 PTS 2 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 0 PF 1/9/16 10M 3/5 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 6 PTS 3 O-REBS 3 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF 2/29/16 7M 1/ 2 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 2 PTS 3 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF Total: 25M 5/10 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 10 PTS 8 O-REBS 3 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF Comment: James is the biggest guy on their team at 6-10 and 280. He’s obviously not as good as Meeks or Hicks but he’s shown he can hurt us, too. Brice Johnson 1/26/15 29M 6/6 2FG 0/0 TREY 5/8 FT 17 PTS 1 O-REBS 10 D-REBS 1 AST 3 BLK 0 STL 3 TO 2 PF 1/9/16 33M 7/11 2FG 0/0 TREY 2/3 FT 16 PTS 0 O-REBS 4 D-REBS 8 AST 1 BLK 2 STL 2 TO 2 PF 2/29/16 24M 6/10 2FG 0/0 TREY 2/4 FT 14 PTS 5 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 1 AST 1 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 3 PF Total: 86M 19/27 2FG 0/0 TREY 9/15 FT 47 PTS 6 O-REBS 19 D-REBS 10 AST 5 BLK 2 STL 6 TO 7 PF Comment: Just ask Florida State about Brice Johnson. He got 39 points and 23 rebounds against them. He hasn’t done quite that well against us but he certainly knows how to fill out a stat sheet. This 8 assists in the Dome game show what he can do when you play too much attention to him. Ad he’s a terror on the defensive boards. Just a great college player and a great NBA prospect, too. Either he or Buddy Hield is the best player in the Final Four. Justin Jackson 1/26/15 29M 2/5 2FG 0/2 TREY 1/2 FT 5 PTS 2 O-REBS 3 D-REBS 4 AST2 BLK 0 STL 2 TO 1 PF 1/9/16 23M 8/10 2FG 0/1 TREY 0/0 FT 16 PTS 1 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 1 AST 1 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 0 PF 2/29/16 34M 3/6 2FG 1/5 TREY 1/2 FT 10 PTS 1 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 3 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 2 TO 1 PF Total: 86M 13/21 2FG 1/8 TREY 2/4 FT 31 PTS 4 O-REBS 6 D-REBS 8 AST 1 BLK 1 STL 5 TO 2 PF Comment: Still another talented big, although a skinny one, (6-8 193). He can certainly hurt us just like the others. Luke Maye 2/29/16 6M 1/2 2FG 0/1 TREY 0/0 FT 2 PTS 1 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF Comment: The 6-7 May has played in 32 games and averaged 5.6 minutes, so we could see him but he’s not likely to be a big factor in this game. Theo Pinson 1/9/16 18M 0/0 2FG 0/4 TREY 0/0 FT 0 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 2 TO 2 PF 2/29/16 12M 0/1 2FG 1/2 TREY 0/0 FT 3 PTS 1 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 3 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 3 PF Total: 30M 0/1 2FG 1/6 TREY 0/0 FT3 PTS 1 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 4 AST 0 BLK 0 STL2 TO 5 PF Comment: Pinson is a 6-6 three point specialist, although he’s better at missing them than hitting them, (28% this season: 26% last season). But you never know with these gunners and he does show an ability to pass for buckets, too. Joe Berry II 1/9/16 32M 2/3 2FG 2/4 TREY 4/4 FT 14 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 4 AST 0 BLK 4 STL 0 TO 3 PF 2/29/16 32M 2/3 2FG 2/6 TREY 3/4 FT 13 PTS 1 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 3 TO 3 PF Total: 64M 4/6 2FG 4/10 TREY 7/8 FT 27 PTS 1 O-REBS 6 D-REBS 4 AST 0 BLK 6 STL 3 TO 6 PF Comment: Berry was on last year’s tam but missed the Syracuse game. This year he provided the Heels with an outside shot when they really needed one during Paige’s slump. Now they are a strong 1-2 punch, making an area of weakness into a strength. Marcus Paige 1/26/15 35M 2/3 2FG 4/7 TREY 6/6 FT 22 PTS 1 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 8 AST 1 BLK 4 STL 0 TO 3 PF 1/9/16 35M 1/2 2FG 1/6 TREY 0/0 FT 3 PTS 1 O-REBS 5 D-REBS 8 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 2 TO 4 PF 2/29/16 37M 1/3 2FG 1/7 TREY 1/1 FT 6 PTS 0 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 8 AST 1 BLK 0 STL 1 TO 3 PF Total: 107M 4/8 2FG 6/20 TREY 7/7 FT 31 PTS 2 O-REBS 12 D-REBS 24 AST 2 BLK 5 STL 3 TO 10 PF Comment: Paige’s shooting slump seems to be over, although it will be interesting if the NRG Stadium background affects him. He’s not just a gunner: he’s had 8 assists in every game against SU and has 5 steals and 12 defensive rebounds, surprising since he’s only 6-1. Nate Britt 1/26/15 26M 1/2 2FG 4/5 TREY 3/4 FT 17 PTS 0 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 2 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 0 TO 2 PF 1/9/16 13M 0/1 2FG 0/1 TREY 0/0 FT 0 PTS 0 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 2 AST 0 BLK 1 STL 1 TO 0 PF 2/29/16 11M 1/2 2FG 1/3 TREY 0/0 FT 5 PTS 0 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 1 AST 0 BLK 2 STL 3 TO 0 PF Total: 50M 2/5 2FG 5/9 TREY 3/4 FT 22 PTS 0 O-REBS 2 D-REBS 5 AST 0 BLK 4 STL 4 TO 2 PF This guy hurt us badly in last year’s game. This year he’s averaging 15.7 minutes and 5.7 points a game, shooting 33.8% from the arc. So he’s an unknown quantity. But unknown quantities sometimes make their presence felt. Justin Coleman 2/29/16 1M 0/0 2FG 0/1 TREY 0/0 FT 0 PTS 0 O-REBS 1 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF Comments: A deep-bench reserve. If we see him, it will be a very bad sign. Spencer Dalton 2/29/16 1M 0/0 2FG 0/0 TREY 0/0 FT 0 PTS 0 O-REBS 0 D-REBS 0 AST 0 BLK 0 STL 0 TO 0 PF This is what is known in the trade as a “billionaire”. There’s one number representing minute(s) played followed by a long line of zeros. Comment: They have more good players than we do and a couple of them, (when Paige is on), maybe better than anyone we’ve got. It’s hard to see us staying in the game with them but we’ve done it all three times we’ve played them in the last two years. Teams tend to be tight in the Final Four and to play conservatively. The backgrounds the arena provides will also tend to keep scores down. I think this game will be about gaining possession of the ball more than what they do with it when they have it. If we can hold our own on the boards, we’ve got a shot. [/QUOTE]
