Nothing is more aggravating than beating yourself by missing free throws. 3-10. Would be in it if made free throws. Must stop taking bad shots which is starting UNC fast break. Cooney and G took numerous bad shots leading to break outs. Poor discipline.
Nobody shooting well today.

Thought the refs were fine

Is this really a surprise? We didnt play particularly well against UVA or the Zags. We won those games because those teams couldnt close the game out in the end. Hopefully UNC chokes as well.

Coleman has 5 fouls to use in 2nd half. Better use them all. No layups when he is in

 

[Orangemen]

Way to stay classy, Roy. Up by 11 and complain about a foul call at the halftime interview.

Watch tru tv if you can.

Aside from the game, it's like unc doesn't exist.

 

[doc05]

No one expected them to hit 3s. Nothing crazy there.

Unc is doing what they do. Solid overall, a lot of offensive rebounds. They haven't gone crazy.

We're not playing well, missing fts, foul problems.

Given how we're playing, this score is almost a best case scenario.

What I mean is the D has done what it can do. If the offense is going to provide nothing and Gbinje is going to play like this, we are done.

How many times can we come back in the 2nd half? Do we another in us?

They need Wally's halftime speech:

 

[longislandcuse]

Mals disappeared. G has forgot how to play basketball. Cooney has played ok. Roberson is giving his all. What a half.

I didn't think it was possible for G to play like trash the entire tournament but he's one half away from doing that.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Mals disappeared. G has forgot how to play basketball. Cooney has played ok. Roberson is giving his all. What a half.

Cooney finished the half badly. He has to stop trying to drive against 2 guys much bigger than he is. Weak.

And get f-ing open so you can hit a 3 pointer senior!

Fact: we were down as much as 16 to Virginia with less time than this. Now wake the heck fire up and claw your way back.

 

[Ajflood12]

2/8 FTs.

Damn it refs!

Cuse doesnt shoot FT on terrible defensive foul calls.

 

[Ghost]

Mals disappeared. G has forgot how to play basketball. Cooney has played ok. Roberson is giving his all. What a half.

Mal is always a second half player.

We need to exploit Lydon vs. Johnson when available. Why we ignore the roll so often is beyond me.

TC went to when G started playing better. They both need to have a good 20 minutes in the second half. Both need to limit mistakes.

LGO!!!!!! We got this!

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Thought the refs were fine

Seriously? Those two anticipation calls on Mali and Lydon were awful.

 

[JarHeadJim]

It's
Malachi
Time!

 

[rocfan44]

Mals disappeared. G has forgot how to play basketball. Cooney has played ok. Roberson is giving his all. What a half.

Don't forget Mals only had 2 at the half against VA and went out on a tear. Need this same fire in the second half from MG and Mals. Don't like the hole we are in but we have faced worse. Come out guns a blazing boys!

 

[pearl31]

What a wasted opportunity that half was.

especially with Johnson in foul trouble Oh Lord

 

[FrancoPizza]

forced mistakes driving to the basket has been the difference. That's given them about 10+ fast break pts.

 

[longislandcuse]

Cooney finished the half badly. He has to stop trying to drive against 2 guys much bigger than he is. Weak.

And get f-ing open so you can hit a 3 pointer senior!

Mind. . Blown. When he put that shot up in the paint against two guys like 8 feet taller than him. Of course, 2 points for UNC the other way.

 

[OrangeDW]

Gbinije is 3-11. Richardson is 2-7. Cooney is 2-8. Lydon is 2-3.

Lydon needs to shoot the ball more.

 

[jdubs30]

We've made 3 more 3's and are only down 2 on the boards and down by 11...how...

 

[Ajflood12]

How many times can we come back in the 2nd half? Do we another in us?

2 more times!

 

[SUintheVille]

They got tentative late in half due to foul trouble. They need to pick up intensity in 2nd half.

 

[pearl31]

just atrocious shooting by the guys in orange
