UNC vs. Syracuse Game Thread

[Ghost]

Busting our butts and playing great against a great team and it's tied at half. Yet most of the posts are negative? Wow. Let's try to be a little more positive. The team is and they're the ones with the tough job.

It's just the ebb and flow of the game - positive when we're playing well, negative during that abysmal 5 minute stretch. It's a game thread - it's all reactionary by nature.

One of the ones the announcers originally gave to DC was actually Silent G's foul so both of them have 2.

Yep that's it because I was surprised G had 2 when they showed the graphic.

Whiskey and some H2O croutons.....

G was absolutely hideous that half.

 

[Ghost]

He's going to have to hit his jumpers. He has become ineffective as a PG against these better teams/better and quicker TRUE guards. He can't get by anybody, can't create, etc.

I know, and Howard (as someone mentioned) looked a little slow out there.

Richardson seems our best option off the bounce of late - wish Joseph could get his head back together and be that guy.

You might have something there. Not being able to see many games, I was wondering what was with that ...

Everyone is thrilled we are tied. I certainly am. Doesn't mean we can't express problems we are seeing during the flow of the game.

I really hope these past two games are Roberson turning a corner - he's done this before for short stretches, but it always feels like he's almost there. He hasn't been as tentative on offense, and has fought hard underneath - it's a nice pattern since parts of the Clemson game.

Also, that spin move...wow.

Ya don't need the croutons ...

Gbinije has not played well in ACC play. We need him to win this second half.

 

[Toga]

Paige and G, combined, have same number of points as a dead man.

 

[Ghost]

Wonder how UNC adjusts - just deliver it to Bryce Johnson in the high post and let him work all half?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Do we ever score in those hold for 1 scenarios?

It's not so much that we don't score , it's that we actually seem to get scored ON an inordinate percent of the time when we have possession with the shot clock off .

I'm just happy now if they hold the ball till there's 1 second left and then throw up a prayer

Saturday night, SU hoops, football on the tube, beers, wings, and Mrs Moo in Winnipeg. Life is good!

The Scoop philosophy! He used to love that. Triche liked to do it that way as well if I recall (but not as much as Scoop).

 

[Cowtown]

Plus 8 on rebounds, but down 10-0 on points off T/Os.

 

[Ghost]

DC with the block!

 

[Ghost]

Okay, G, time to show Paige who's boss.

 

[skurey]

So this is the game everyone will argue about the rest of the year in Cooney threads

 

[Ghost]

You can't stop Cooney!

 

[two3zone]

Pathetic D by Roberson and Dc on that play.

 

[skurey]

Richardson is awesome, we're going to be good next year

 

[djcon57]

Amazing take by Cooney...good stuff.

 

[NineOneSeven]

COONEY LEFTY FASTBREAK LAYUP WE ARE WINNING this

The big three from the first half keeping it rolling.
