Most pathetic game of the season

[Cusefan0307]

Zero excuses. If we can’t beat Carolina now we can forget ever beating them. What a joke.

 

[jgeorge322]

Huh?

 

[Charbroil]

It’s pathetic how bad this team is at home. I honestly think they’d have a better record if all their games were on the road.

 

[85SUAlum]

why is it we can't make 3's in the dome but other teams go off here.
I thought the dome was supposed to throw off visiting teams shooting but it seems to have more of an effect on our guys.

Because we give up wide open shots and contest the shooter after they’ve released the ball already. Meanwhile we pull contested shots from 30ft

 

[hungrychuck]

Certainly a frustrating game.

UNC’s worst team in years and they toyed with us.

Still have better athletes. Still stronger and tougher inside.

Epic Sidibe is the only positive.

 

[jdubs30]

Buddy and Sidibe were good in the 1H. Q was a beast for that 4 that minute stretch in the 2H. Other than that...awful

 

[Domedude3]

My oh my. Lots to digest. My main takeaway walking away from the dome...we have the worst defending guards in the Power 5 especially Buddy. Not sure I’ve seen a guard this poor defensively

 

[Ghost]

I can't wait for the postgame presser, did we lose, because:

A) Because we missed shots
or:
B) Because it's hard to win if you miss shots
or:
C) Because you gotta make shots, and they made shots

 

[OrangeDW]

Marek’s foul trouble scene is beyond old.

 

[dasher]

Zero excuses. If we can’t beat Carolina now we can forget ever beating them. What a joke.

We haven't ever beat UNC? Come on.

Don’t kid yourself, joe is just as bad. But at least he’s got the short excuse

 

[Ajflood12]

They have been up and down all season by this is the first time a game ended and it feels like they didn’t try.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

We haven't ever beat UNC? Come on.

Not close to what he’s saying

 

[Cusefan0307]

We haven't ever beat UNC? Come on.

1-12 since we joined the conference Dash. That is pathetic.

 

[Orangefan1]

Inexcusable today

But... KenPom is a hoax!

 

[OrangeDW]

We haven't ever beat UNC? Come on.

Have we ever had a longer losing streak against anybody? What’s it at now? 8? 9?

Even Pitt and Louisville never did that to us, when they completely owned us.

UConn never did even when they had our number in the mid 90s. GTown never did when they had us in the 80s.

 

[OrangeDW]

JB 's post game expert analysis is "THEY SHOT IT WELL " brilliant. the old dude is worth every penny.

Which coaches’ postgame pressers do you find especially insightful?

 

[GoSU96]

This was lost on the offensive end. If you aren't going to get stops, your scorers have to score. UNC had folded all year under pressure, they had multiple possessions to score and inside of 4 minutes to make a single digit game and didn't.

So? They have a better program than us. Always have had. Do I wish we beat them today? Of course. What I really wish was that we played them without Cole. I'm not proud.

UNC is our annual “load management” game. Staff takes the week off so they can be fresh for the subsequent game.

I am surprised at the 1

 

[cuseguy]

Honestly, this was an easy call. Knew Carolina would pose huge issues if Anthony was back and playing well. Yes, Carolina made shots today, many 3s, but they could have scored inside and from short range. SU did some nice things this year at times, but today was a sign of just where we are as a program. Big game, name opponent, and we didn’t show.

They were 11-17. No excuses this year. We can beat Duke. We cannot beat UNC ever.
