nemhoff Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Bummer on Stewart, would have been awesome for the orange next year and would have been on a much bigger stage in the acc Quote

That was a fun game...I don't usually go but friends invited us with great seats and we couldn't say no. Heels started off 1/12 from three while Hokies started 6/7...then Heels turned up the D and went on a 20-0 run to go up 14 at the break. Was never close after that. The frosh (White/Little) combined for 50! Quote

The frosh (White/Little) combined for 50! My son is a big tar heels fan so I usually watch most of their games with him. Old Roy's team is going to be an interesting study come March. When they are knocking shots I think they could beat anybody ex last night. When they are not knocking down shots they could lose to anybody ex Louisville. It doesn't seem like they have that reliable post player that Carolina teams are noted for. You know the one when things get tight they could throw it down to the post & usually come away with a bucket. With that being said outside of Durham they are as talented a team as anybody in the country. Bold statement I know but that is the way I feel. Virginia Tech is a talented team that I have pegged as getting to the second weekend of the tournament & the heels just ran them right out of the building. UNC will tag on a few more losses because their schedule is so brutal so I don't see them getting anything higher than a 4 seed this year. I could see them making a deep run. I could also see them getting bumped in the first round. It will be interesting to watch. Quote

Maye can do it against lesser competition but against a skilled big man he looks out of his element. Brooks has shown flashes. They've got another "big" (Manley) who has missed the past seven games with a sore knee but he should be back soon. But it's strange not to see them with a true go-to guy inside. The key for this team is how they play D. After a very slow start, Nassir Little has been excellent the past three games. If he has finally figured it out then they are immediately a legit F4 team. Coby White is playing so well I've begun to worry about him leaving after one season. The Louisville game was the watershed moment for this team, I believe. Roy told them after the game (and I'm paraphrasing) "you will continue to lose if you don't start listening to me" and walked out of the locker room. Quote

It is funny you mention little, right before the game started Bilas was talking about how the light has finally come on for Little on the defensive side & expect to start getting more minutes over the next few months(I think he is averaging 18 or 19 min per game). White has been playing out of his mind & he is fun to watch. Maye, I think he is really missing Berry setting him up so well to score. There was so many times the past few years Berry would setup Maye in perfect position to score. It seems like he has got to create his own shot a bit more this year. Coupled that with the fact he is trying to learn to play with some of the new guys & it has been an adjustment. He is still important to their success. Quote

Have fun and don't get rowdy with the rebel crowd. Just to remind you they hate Yankees. So don't bring up the sore topic of the moral imperative to take down those ignominious Confederate statues with the losers sitting on those lame horses. Quote

And Tech only had 8 guys dressed, some pressure could have really worn on them. 9 hours ago, row_33 said: I wasn’t all that into it and gave up after a minute the uniforms and the stadium and the floor was revolting Great gym to watch a game BTW. Small, on campus, easy to walk to/from the bars. Tickets relatively cheap. Quote
