Syracuse Preview and Game Thread

[Viking131]

Lanie continues to be open, and IN keeps looking her off!

 

[3397char]

Nivar was fouled there but gotta be strong with the ball

 

[Carolina151]

Heels lead 44-42 with 5:33 left in 3rd. Phelia went down for Cuse a couple min a go

 

[3397char]

Brooks hits a much needed three for her comfidence

 

[3397char]

UNC has a ton of deflection this game but the loose balls seem to be bouncing to Cuse. need more hustle and diving

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

Psssst. 44 for Syr is left hand and drives left every time

 

[uman1]

LG is stroking it. NH playing well.

 

[Carolina151]

Heels lead 59-55 heading into the 4th. Lanie with 5 3s

 

[uman1]

Brooks bite a much needed three for her comfidence

Hopefully she can knock down a couple of more cause she is going to put it up if she has any daylight.

 

[FanaticHeel]

I would like to see a lot more of Henderson and less of Brooks

 

[Carolina151]

Phelia back in the game at the start of 4Q

 

[FanaticHeel]

We don't need TQ doing BS like that

 

[Carolina151]

Need to get Taissa out and Harris back in asap

 

[23UNC]

Psssst. 44 for Syr is left hand and drives left every time

Psst. She is right handed.

 

[Carolina151]

Cuse takes a TO with 6:56 left. Heels up 61-58

 

[FanaticHeel]

If you are a bad FT shooter just go play UNC and you are guaranteed to increase your %

 

[3ptthreat]

What is that like 4 or 5 turnovers to start Q4 for us? Hard to win games like that. Especially when a 55% FT shooter on the other team is getting And 1s and is 100% from the line.

If this was the men playing, students would be packing the building.

 

[uman1]

Heels blew a chance to get some separation. Still a dogfight now.

 

[FanaticHeel]

If this was the men playing, students would be packing the building.

Agree and very disappointing that students with no F'g where to go couldn't make it to the game and support these girls

 

[3397char]

Impressed with the length and athleticism of Syracuse, better than I assumed vonsidering this team was cobbled together from unstable portal players and unremarkable recruiting class… on paper

 

[3397char]

THREEEEEmey!

 

[3ptthreat]

IN back in the game and the ATO leads to a desperation 3. Next play IN jacks up a 3 early in shoot clock. 4 TO and 4 missed FG in a row.

 

[Carolina151]

Timeout Cuse. Heels up 66-60 with 3:55 left. Carolina ball

 

[PonsterM]

Syracuse struggling after we switched to a zone defense. If we could rebound after their misses, we'd be crushing them.

 

[FanaticHeel]

CT should have been in the paint and instead they get 3 boards at the rim

 

[Tar_Heels]

Please, please make FTs in the last 3 and a half minutes.

 

[3ptthreat]

Yeah. They're tall and very long and have a few players that are very athletic. Seeing that on the 2 possessions where we gave up 4 offensive rebounds in the last few minutes. Was surprised that we won the rebounding battle in 1H

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

Does 44 drive left or right?

 

[Carolina151]

An IN dribble, dibble, TO leads to Cuse getting to the line with a chance to cut it to 4. 2:43 left. Grant in for her.

 

[kystroup]

Great handle there by Reniya. IN shouldn’t be near the ball late in the shot clock

 

[FanaticHeel]

Be honest, that was just stupid dribbling by RK. Got luck with the foul

 

[Carolina151]

Good lord.

 

[Carolina151]

Cuse cuts it to 1 as the 48% shooter moves to 5-5 on the day.

 

[FanaticHeel]

48% ft shooter and she is 5/5

 

[PonsterM]

Too many empty possessions on offense

 

[3ptthreat]

Good lord.

Ugly. At one point does CB do something besides just stand there waving her hands? At minimum try to line up something other than TO. Sitting on 4 time outs...

 

[Carolina151]

Cuse at the line with the chance to take the lead. 1:05 left

 

[uman1]

Turnovers and not boxing out killing us.

 

[TAHeel]

Ah, immediately the threads get active as we play a tight game. Tale as old as time.
