Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1622328, member: 289"] - Each winter, no matter how long it takes to get here, once it does, it seems like it’s always been winter. Similar, both defeat and victory, no matter how long it’s been since the last one, is always just as bitter or sweet. If anything, the distance makes it more so. It was nice to finally change the numbers below. - Our defense, against a limited opponent, was nonetheless, strong. Any time an opponent struggles to get to 40 points, we are going to win easily. We out-shot BC from two point, range from three point range and from the foul line while out-rebounding them , blocking more shots, getting more steals and forcing more turnovers. - The offense played tortoise and the hare but the hare won by 22 points. A while ago I posted several areas where I thought improvement was possible for this team. #1 was more consistent play from the “Two R’s: Roberson and Richardson. They’ve both played well in ACC play and both played well tonight, although the first half was Roberson’s and the second half belong to Richardson, (mostly due to foul trouble for Roberson). Combined, in 58 minutes they scored 25 points on 8 for 13 shooting, had 15 rebounds, 4 assists and a couple of steals. - Another hope for improvement is DaJuan Coleman who had a strong game with 11 points on 4 for 6 shooting with 5 rebounds in 26 minutes. - BC didn’t hound Michael Gbinije as much as North Carolina did and Mike was able to shoot 5 for 8 for 14 points with 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists. - Tyler Lydon had an active first half with 7 points and 3 rebounds in 14 minutes. He didn’t do much in the second half but I like the fact that half his shots were two pointers. At his size he’s more than just an outside gunner. 11-7 (1-4) with 13+ to go…and only 6 more wins needed to guarantee our 46th consecutive winning season! LET’S GO ORANGE! [/QUOTE]
