UNC looking like the Kansas team from 03

[RaoulDuke]

Roy's biggest concern in an on-court pregame interview before the game was that it would be the last game he'd coach Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison as he wiped away a tear.

And it seems he's all emotional about Paige this time around.

IDK - it seems so eerily similar. And that Kansas team was stacked and we were dogs ...

I think we win by 3 ... anyone?

 

[20Plus]

True dat
Many parallels

Minus us having a player like Carmelo Anthony, I'm with ya. If we can score tonight we can win. It would be awesome to shoot like we did in that Kansas game.

Who gets the game ending block? I'm going with Roberson on the wing

 

[Cuseregular]

Monster dunks back in the house!

That game was not only Melo but a lot of McNamara, Pace , Duany and Forth.

We don't win that game if Gmac doesn't knock down six 3's.

Edelin carried us for that key stretch in the second half. And Forth played his best game of the season.

I just want Cooney to shoot like GMac did that game.

Lydon, down low, on Johnson!

 

[DNABB5]

yea if Meeks and Johnson could shoot like Collison and Graves from the line and midrange that would be great.

That Kansas team was excellent but I think this UNC team is better.

Not having Simien was big for KU -- unfortunately for us UNC will have all their bigs today

The way we've been attacking the basket I hope we can get some quick fouls early and hopefully get a good cushion. Not sure how else we'll control them without putting them out of the game.

 

[TexanMark]

ACC assistant coaches said Cooney is overrated... What I heard.

 

[jr4750]

That game was not only Melo but a lot of McNamara, Pace , Duany and Forth.

Not what I said, they were comparing the teams. Realize it was a team win, but we also had an all timer that we knew would score points no matter what.

Edelin reminds me of why I was closet-horrified by the Ennis team. People should drive to the hole. Malachi does that now.

 

[teamco]

Evverybody brings their A game tonight. Things are clicking, defense is swarming, pockets are being picked, Cooney's hitting threes, G is dishing and dunkin', Lydon is blocking, Mali has his goggles on, TRob is skywalking, I swear I'm channeling the future 4 hrs from game time.

 

[Shawn91111]

Phew thought it was gonna say the Kansas team from 96'

 

[Madbiker]

With Carmelo we always had the best player on the court. But we can play with UNC. If Cooney hit 6 treys in the first half though I'd faint.

 

[SUskibum]

If Cooney hits 6 threes in the first half, I feel really good about our chances.

Also helpful: JB coaching ability > Roy Boy coaching ability

Strange though TE is getting a lot of run as 3rd guard in Milwaukee alongside the monster Giannis has become. Would be ironic if he stays and MCW moves again.

Yeah, I was wondering if somebody was going to bring that up. But Boeheim was probably responsible for that static offense that year (didn't want to throw negative mojo his way this weeknd, heh). Ennis could definitely score; well before he got to SU.
