Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 4934329, member: 6797"] A lot of posters have correctly pointed out that we don’t have enough shooters or size and that is a horrific combination. My biggest issue today was the lack of effort that at times was glaring. That is something you can control. -there were multiple occasions where guys did not run back on defense after turning the ball over. -there were multiple occasions when we could not get the ball inbounds because guys were not moving to get open. -a number of posters were killing red today, and it was not his best game. At times we looked surprised that Carolina was allowed to defend inbound plays. The lack of effort I referred to continued throughout the game without holding guys responsible. But at the end of the day this team is 11 and 5 and has not lost to anybody they shouldn’t have. He is doing the best he can with a flawed roster. And a talented, huge, experienced UNC team is our worst possible matchup. -Red does need to have our guards take care of the ball and distribute. Our guards didn’t get anybody good looks today. -we take way too many off balance, contested shots which exacerbates our shooting issues -this was clearly Taylor‘s worst game of the year. On the play where neither Judah nor JJ moved to get open he inexplicably just chucked it up instead of calling a time out. He looked deflated playing out there late with the scrubs. But to give up on this kid as a sophomore is insane. He looks like he has a crisis of confidence shooting the ball. But this is the same kid who went off against Bryant and Boston College last year and we do not get that win against Colgate without him. He always plays hard. Sophomores improve, especially ones with good attitudes who always play hard. He can still be a significant piece. -unfortunately Carey still doesn’t look 100% but he’s already better than mounir -like I said unc is our worst possible matchup. Sophomores will continue to improve. How we react at Pittsburgh will be telling. [/QUOTE]
