Yet another lawyer on this app with too much time on his hands. Res ipsa loquitor.
Exactly. I don’t mind folks saying UNC shouldn’t have made the tournament. Points can be made either way on that question. If anything, it was the hyperbolic histrionics of many in the national media reacting to their inclusion that was “felonious.”
See I’m fine with this-a nuanced discussion, explains UNC became the avatar for all the teams, should have sympathy for West Virginia. Perfectly acceptable stance and one that just doesn’t get said in the noise economy

Don’t get me wrong. If UNC doesn’t get in, they have only themselves to blame. But if Xavier or Boise St gets in, I better not see UNC schedule another “prime time OOC game” again. Schedule nothing but the Charlottes of the world, go 17-1 OOC, and take a chance Duke or someone else in the ACC is Q1.

This team *probably* deserves an NCAAT invite, but just by the very skin of their teeth. Legitimately the last team in imo.

Bottom line is that UNC cannot escape their epic scoring droughts. You cannot go 5-10 minutes without making a basket. Kills UNC every damn time.

5th year seniors with just mind numbing rule violations. It’s like Mack Brown is coaching the basketball team. Sigh.

My North Carolina Hoosiers are killing me. Assuming no tournament this year, that will be 3 out of the past 5 tournaments missed, and damn near 4 out of 5.
It’s past time for change. Be that coaching, throwing ungodly amounts of money at players, something I’m not thinking of, all of the above …

UNC just pulled off a Houdini-level escape in South Bend thanks to Elliot Cadeau pulling off a four-point play down three late, then ND not getting the would-be winner off in time.
Tar Heels are a vexing team, but damn if they aren't in a lot of ultra-watchable games.

I really hope the game winning 3 “and 1” jumpstarts Cadeau’s confidence. Given the makeup of this team, he’s the straw that stirs the drink, such as the drink is.

A game coming down to UNC needing to play 5 seconds of great defense without fouling. What could go wrong?

UNC just can’t get out of its own way. Big possessions all year long usually result in turnovers or poor shots. Maddening

All things considered, I’m pleased UNC is up 7 at the break. Still a lot of issues plaguing the Heels, but the emergence of Capt Jack as a potential leader is very intriguing.

But also, let’s not have the entire offense to be “give it to Ian.”
Captain Jack already with 14 points with 8 min to go in the first half. Lead on, frosh!

It doesn’t get better. UNC will beat some of the bottom tier ACC teams. We’ll all look for nuggets and glimpses of improvement and corner-turning. UNC’s bed wetting will continue unchanged whenever they play upper tier ACC teams. Rinse and repeat thru early March.
And in all transparency, I’m not sure how it gets better for #UNC. It’s January. This is likely who they are.

UNC is just plain bad. There is no identity. No scheme. No nothing. Just 5 dudes running wind sprints, chucking up shots, and making them at about 32% clip.
I love Hubert. He’s a great guy. And this isn’t entirely his doing. But man, his seat must be getting uncomfortably warm by now.
