GYERO ARCHIVE

[Bonzo_Cat]

We go as Hagans goes...straw that stirs the drink. Incredible poise in his first lead role on the big stage. Should be fun.

Great W. *Love* being wrong. Beat Louisville.

 

[catholic_back]

Season-altering win. Hell yea.

 

[BBdK]

:joy: That’s amazing

 

[anthonys735]

Shew. What a relief. Man, we all needed that. Cheers, Catpaws.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Blown away.

The sense of urgency and "pace" Hagans provided completely changes the dynamic of this team.

- Travis proved to me today he can play fast. Didn't think he could thrive up tempo yet there he was, running the floor and sealing the **** out of his guy.

- Take your lumps with Hagans and sell out to him, Cal. This team won't hit its ceiling without that little hellraiser disrupting everyone's ****. He'll be hitting that little runner come Feb.

- PJ and that back door wrinkle broke their back.

- Get off Herro I'll effing fight you. He's real.

 

[BBdK]

Hagans *only* (lol) had 7 steals? Seemed like 17

Doesn’t take into account how many times Coby dribbled it off his dick OOB either, he was a MESS.

Other than maybe Hawkins vs Chris Thomas, I cant recall a more disruptive/dominating defensive performance against a stud PG. I axed for it and my wish was granted. Props young man. :flushed:

I will say, as good as Hagans was today, he needs more on offense. The runner, stop and pop or a good jumper go a long way to making him more than what he already has become. Very excited by what I saw today and am stoked about tomorrow's christmas celebraish at Grandma's. We have one outside of the family that is a UNC fan who will take a lashing.

Merry Christmas GYERO, you've earned it.

This is an example of a post you wait until Monday to drop.

Agreed, I just see so much of what Teague provided and want to be greedy. It's more Wile Turkey 101 talking than anything. We don't win today within Ashton playing out of his mind but I also see the potential if he develops as mentioned.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

I think Herro is pretty dope. His shots aren't a sure thing yet...but he rarely makes the wrong play. He'll be a 18-20PPG guy next year.

 

[anthonys735]

Considering where Hagans was just 3 or 4 games ago lets give him a few games to develop his O.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Please build off of this win. Please.

:basketball:ray:

I mentioned this earlier this week, but He’s still not quite yet *ready* to finish a play. He missed several layups bc he wasn’t ready or committed to making them.

It’s the final step for him to be what he need - after this, I have confidence he gets there.

 

[GYERater]

Dunking on EJ Montgomery

 

[TheShowKiller]

How we won is what’s got me excited...

Settled on a PG#1, a rotation, an offense with flow and space. We didn’t even shoot it that well and beat a legit top 10 squad.

For the first time this year you see the upside...Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

 

[anthonys735]

So much more than a shooter. Not what I was expecting out of him. He'll get that shot falling soon. It's coming.

 

[BBdK]

Herro is a second playmaker out there, he just understands basketball.

He’s got a long leash with me, and he made SOME shots today.

We answered every rally, that’s my biggest takeaway from a team perspective. They actually showed some DAWG.

 

[gattongrad09]

Cal in rare form with Leach. Enjoy buddy but lets keep the train rollin.

 

[Touch_Em_All]

* Rebounding is what made the difference, didn't know we were that tough. Nice to see everybody contribute, so many ways to come at you.

* Damn Cal is thin skinned as hell...

 

[legalbeagle123]

Herro is money when he steps into the 3. The others will start falling.

 

[BBdK]

Lastly, a very Draymond like performance by PJ today. He’s not gonna last 4 years here, but if he did, he’d have a similar career arc developing as an overall player.

He’s got a long way to go to be that obviously, but that’s his prototype game if he’s gonna succeed at the next level. :100points:

I’m heading to the tables. :raised_hands:

 

[anthonys735]

Good for him. Well deserved clap back.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Rather enjoyable night in Raleigh. SABD, Heels.

Sorry. The voice of BBN has spoken.

[UKStoleMyFish]

Moved from 53rd to 35th in KenPom defensive efficiency.

[smoke]

 

[UKwizard]

Crappy UK defensive team holds Carolina 22 points under their average. Cannot be understated.

 

[tommyg4uk]

What a satisfying win...

UNC fans were crying all game about refs, etc...when my dad (not even a UK fan, Cincy fan) corrected one in the second half that we had 7 fouls to their 1...it got really prickly for a bit with the back and forth. I shut UNC superfan up really quick. F*** em.

I absolutely LOVE beating UNC. Love it. What a terrible school, fan base, color, everything.

Boom.

 

[anthonys735]

Best passer, ft shooter, and off the ball defender. Hell he probably leads the season in steals.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Man.

Someone check on @Century Cat ? Happy for that guy, most of all.

[cheers]

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

Duke ran us, we beat UNC...and UNC will beat Duke. Not that it really matters, but come late February it will happen, come full circle. Rock-paper-scissors.

 

[anthonys735]

UNC ran Zags who beat Duke without one of their best players.

 

[tommyg4uk]

UNC fan yelling, "DUKE BEAT YALL BY 30!!!!" while walking out after the game sums up their fans perfectly.

 

[cawoodsct]

He did until today.

On top of it all, I just booked my house for Mardi Gras. $4,800 for 6 days. That works.

Hagans absolutely ruined poor lil Buckwheat’s Christmas. :sunglasses:
