Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1618393, member: 289"] - We were playing a pre-season #1 team that is healthy again and gave them all they could handle. As JB says, there’s just not that much difference between teams anymore. That’s on the downside when we are playing most teams but games like this prove we don’t have to be afraid of anybody: we just have to find a way to win these games. - The Heels were out-rebounding teams by +10.7 per game. Everyone hit the boards and we outrebounded the Heels 35-33. People complain about our rebounding but it’s only been unacceptably bad in two games: Wisconsin and Pitt. - Trevor Cooney loves the smell of pine tar. Last year in the Dean Dome he scored 28 points on them. This year in the Carrier Dome he scored 27 more. I think this was his best all-around game., even better than that Notre Dame game he had a couple of years ago. Trevor was aggressive and confident throughout. He not only hit 5 threes but he drove to the basket to score 5 more field goals and also helped us on the board with 5x rebounds. He kept the ball moving and got people organized more than Gbinije, who was fighting off double teams all night. Trevor made them pay, but they accepted the price and stayed on Michael the whole night. I guess it worked. - Mal Richardson hit 4 of 10 three pointers. He’s now 14 of 23 from the arc, (.608) in the last three games. This is the shooter we thought we were getting when he was recruited. - Tyler Roberson was 5 for 5 from the field, scored 13 points and pulled down 7 rebo9duns. He’s now making the 15 footer the defenses gave him all last year. He’s also playing with abandon, rather than doing everything mechanically. - DaJuan Coleman played aggressively and managed to stay in the game for 27 minutes, even thought the refs seemed to enjoy calling him for fouls, especially down the stretch. But he scored 5 points, had 7 rebounds, passed for 2 assists and had a block. 10-7 (0-4) with 14+ to go…and only 7 more wins needed to guarantee our 46th consecutive winning season! LET’S GO ORANGE!
