Harping is going to be special. As game is progressive she seems to get more comfortable. A nice drive under the basket dribbled onendribble and then a turn around sweet jump shot (not sure I described it accurately but impressive).
Offense seems stagnant. Dribble off high screen and everyone else is stagnant. Have to have great one on one plays for that to be consistently effective.
Missing handful of FTs.
Clardy has large black kneed pad on- maybe she's not at 100%.
Akot is special

UNC has now gone 10 deep, currently playing only 1 probable starter.

Everyone suited up today has played except Clardy and Barker

40-40 at the half on a closing three from the Wildcats.

conceding 40 in a half is no bueno, and the problem is open threes and too many fouls giving charity points.

Davidson is 5-8 on threes, 7-10 on FTs

We are +5 on off rebounds, +9 in 2nd chance points, even on TOs, so in total we are +7 on shots taken, That is a good recipe for winning. But we have conceded 52% FGs to Davidson. Easy shots have negated decent overall basketball.

based on this Gabby will definitely get her minutes. Won’t be surprised if she breaks the starting line up later in the season.
That would mean supplanting either Kelly or Harpring. But I fully believe she will be in the rotation after today, especially if she continues to hit threes.

She is clearly ahead of Zubich and Barker, which is probably not a surprise to anyone. Brooks and Hull started today, ahead of her. But it remains to be seen where Clardy and Burrows will stand in the pecking order.

The depth on this team is going to be incredible. We likely have 11, maybe 12 players who would get major minutes on any ACC team; the large majority would start on most teams.

I could care less about our offense rn. Our defense is why Davidson has hung around. We're clearly more talented and athletic than them. We're just giving up a ton of open shots. CB can hopefully get them settled at halftime.

I think a lot of the problem is the newish/inexperienced. A lot of the open threes are simply miscommunication. That will be better as you play someone else other than yourself. Rebounding will be fine with Toomey, Burrows, and Clardy back.

Harpring currently leads the team in points, shots, 3pt attempts, rebounds, Assists, Fouls, steals, turnovers and minutes.

somehow she has not been awarded a FT so that is the only stat she missed.

In this one exhibition game it is a little case study in the importance of efficiency. 7 of 17 (1-5) and 2:4 Asst:TO ratio is not going to lead a team to victory. her +/- is currently -1

52-48 Heels to end Q3

Much better defense in Q3: held them to 8 points and forced a whopping 9 TOs.

But the Heels had trouble making shots. 3 of 24 FGs for 21% (6 of 10 on FTs) for a total of 12 points

Harping misses her 4th lay-up/around the basket of the quarter and mouths, “what am I doing wrong?”. First game jitters, she’ll be fine.
Sound like she is pressing too much. The same way that Terrence Brown and Matt A. did last week against USC. She will be fine. She just needs to calm down and relax and let the game come to her.
