So impressed with Taissa

 

[SpencerHaskell]

End Q1: Duke 19 UNC 18

 

[Carolina151]

19-18 Duke after 1Q. 4 fouls on Carolina. 0 on Duke.

 

[uman1]

Heels hanging tough.

 

[Viking131]

We should be winning. We missed so many lay ups!

 

[23UNC]

Dook with zero team fouls in first quarter. Shocking.

 

[uman1]

Nice effort from BT.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

First foul call on Duke comes at the 7:34 mark of 2Q

 

[Jriv23]

No it was not because Jay Williams and company won the whole thing. Adam Boone was horrible. We should have taken Jay W. hands down. Adam Boone eventually transferred out; therefore, you comment about infamously epic is just wrong. Adam Boone basically quit on us.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

And another at the 6:52 mark

 

[Viking131]

Announcers clearly want dook to win, smh..

 

[uman1]

TQ

 

[Jriv23]

Yeah, I noticed that too. They talk about TF during pregame and did not mention anyone on UNC's team. It seems like the referees on calling one sided as expected.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Heels lead 31-28 at the 3:44 media timeout.

UNC 5 of their last 7 from the field, and on a 9-5 run across the last 2:43.

 

[Carolina151]

We are getting tackled and shoved everytime down the court. Heels lead 31-28 with 3:44 left until half. Harris and Taissa each have 2

 

[HoopsHeel]

Dook with zero team fouls in first quarter. Shocking.

Especially playing pressure defense

 

[HeelsShooter2025]

If Reniya is not playing in this game then the issue is more than just the ”rest” we were told. Something is bothering her. I hope she is able to go but we really shouldn’t do anything to aggrivate the issue.

I have know knowledge of RKs injury. Yet, athletes often have stress reactions, stress fractures, due to the pounding they take from running on hardwoods.

 

[TAHeel]

Sigh, 2 ORs after a missed FT leads to a 4 point possession

 

[FanaticHeel]

Has Blanca gotten worse. Her fresh yr she was known to make the occasional 3. This yr she won't even look at the rim even when left unguarded. She doesn't know how to use her size advantage. She just doesn't seem to have progressed as post player. I was excited about her as a recruit and was hoping to see a jump from last yr but seems like that was wishful thinking.

 

[BlueHeels02]

This whistle is so one sided

 

[TAHeel]

Well...it was going very well

 

[BlueHeels02]

Awful awful awful end to the half

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Halftime: Duke 41 UNC 33

Blue Devils end the half on a 12-0 run across the final 2:56.

 

[Carolina151]

13-2 Duke run to end half. 41-33 Duke at half

 

[PonsterM]

Jesus that last three minutes

 

[TAHeel]

Led 31-25 with 4:11 left, trail 41-33 at HT.

 

[23UNC]

It all started with a free throw lane violation.

 

[HeelsShooter2025]

We need to win more lose balls!

 

[FanaticHeel]

So many defensive breakdown by UNC it's indefensible and this team misses far too many EASY shots.

 

[Viking131]

Leaving the 3 point shooter oper in transition.

 

[CarolinaSkies]

I don't know what's worse 8 on 5 for the entire half or Courtney Banghart watching 3 minutes of pathetic play and not calling a timeout. Not 1 single free throw for Carolina.

 

[CarolinaSkies]

So many defensive breakdown by UNC it's indefensible and this team misses far too many EASY shots.

The Carolina bugs were fouled multiple times inside.

 

[uman1]

Duke has about 3 baskets that shoulfd have bee

No it was not because Jay Williams and company won the whole thing. Adam Boone was horrible. We should have taken Jay W. hands down. Adam Boone eventually transferred out; therefore, you comment about infamously epic is just wrong. Adam Boone basically quit on us.

Boone made molasses look quick.

It all started with a free throw lane violation.

Great first half for 16 minutes. Completely lost composure at the end. Lane violation, multiple offensive rebounds allowed, and Woods on a heater from 3. Really, really need a run to start the 3rd.

 

[UNC76]

Just 3 fouls on dook, and FT attempts are 9-0 in their favor.

 

[Carolina151]

Leaving the 3 point shooter oper in transition.

Can’t leave her open- but I wouldn’t exactly call her the 3-point shooter. 3 better options on the court with her. Avg <1 make per game. But def after she hits 2- you step out more

 

[Viking131]

I really wish Henderson could see the Court more. Our Girls looked gassed!

 

[Carolina151]

Just 3 fouls on dook, and FT attempts are 9-0 in their favor.

Carolina attempted 31 2-pt attempts in the first half and did not get fouled on a single one.

 

[wurquhart]

Lotta game left to go! Clean up the over rotations on transitions and you’ll stop giving them open threes.

 

[mpaer]

I am late to watching-but yea the announcer was grossly pulling for dook
I did not see her-I guess it was Antonelli?

 

[TAHeel]

That is such a late foul call to not give the shot
