“Zones don’t always work, you have to adjust” - Chris Webber

Can I get a Big King?

 

[Todoubled23]

Ooooof

 

[Alsacs]

North Carolina is just carving Washington/Syracuse zone up.
It’s frustrating to watch.

 

[kingtidge]

Give it a few minutes.

Bingo...

“Zones don’t always work, you have to adjust” - Chris Webber

But what does Chris Webber know? Does he have a single win as a D-1 HC, let alone 1,047?

 

[phil77]

While I love Hop I kind of don't want him to come back. I want to be done with the Zone once JB retires.

It is, but it's not unexpected.

He didn’t have any as a player either. They were all taken away

They average 86 ppg.

They’re tough to stop, man or zone.

He knows more than Chuck Barkley.

I heard Barkley talk about last year's Gonzaga team yesterday as "... Last year they had the college kid and that big guy... I can't remember the names..."

TruTV story...

Thank uuuu

He had a few wins at the highest level.

UNC is shooting 52% from the field and 45% from 3.
They are going to get to their average because of the pace of the game but their shooting is carving up the zone.

Absolutely. To compare this game,arguably the best team in the tourney, to Baylor would be dumb

well this provides a good picture of what would happen to Washington in the ACC. I do think there team is a little better than Cuse though. They actually have an inside threat which we do not.

Cuse!

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Still can't believe Cam Johnson was able to transfer to UNC

I didn't even remember he was a transfer. Just looked it up:
The Cameron Johnson transfer saga shows where the real power is in college sports

What part of this do you object to? He's a grad transfer, with a great academic record pre-Carolina.

 

[samspann1]

Will The Flock be happy that JB's protege was bounced by UNC, or will they be defensive that UNC once again toyed with a JB-variant of the 2-3 zone?

Interesting tap dance to come...

Cuse!

They do, but like us they’re also missing a real PG.

I think we have a little more than they do on the wings with Battle, Hughes, and Buddy.

Factions are emerging.

You’ve got the “we needed Hopkins to take over and we blew it” contingent. This is the NWO Black and White.

You’ve got the “We needed a new coach but not THAT coach, because zone is dead, Steph Curry killed it, we need a completely brand new slate.” This is the NWO Red and black Wolfpack.

You’ve got the “Boeheim is still our best bet, and it’s over when he says it’s over” group. This is the Four Horsemen.

Hop should have switched to man. Would really have confused UNC.

In case you weren’t watching Chris Webber basically called out Hopkins by saying that.

 

[MSOrange]

Nice season Hop. More units for the ACC at least

Bottom line is UNC is better than most teams in the country. They average 86+ points against all types of defense. They abuse and toy with zone, man, pres etc. Now, baylot toying with the zone is a different story and more related to a horrible zone

Cuse

 

[PoppyHart]

I really hope we make a clean break from JB and don't feel like we "owe" it to Hopkins to offer him.

Lol, what timing.
