Davis is having a bad year as teams are double teaming him. Plus Washington has not improved like they hoped.
Uh Oh in UNC land
- Thread starter Tik Tok
- Start date
I hear that he is a really good Christian dude and an amazing person off the court....but you are right. He never shuts his mouth.
Of course they have no big man, and it's unusual for the holes to get beat on the boards. He's got too many guys that look like NC State players too. Athletic, but little basketball IQ.
They're also small with Davis and Cadeau, and it hurts even more that Cadeau can't shoot. Which puts more on Davis.
But their biggest issue in my opinion, is I think they are losing in the NIL money part. Is that on Hubert or the university?

It's hard to tell if NIL is the problem because some on their board say UNC has the money but won't get in bidding wars, then some say it is a problem. I also think they didn't do a good job at evaluating the talent and where to spend the money. Cade Tyson apparently got around $700k in NIL and has been a bust.
It's been funny to watch, but I think RJ Davis coming back hurt them. He's playing poorly and probably got a nice chunk of change in NIL, which could have been used on another portal player. I did see that when they hired Belichick there was a large amount of NIL money promised, so hopefully the money goes to football and non for basketball.
What's interesting, they would be a .500% team if they didn't storm back to beat Dayton.
Exactly. They got hot at the right time and snuck into the tournament. They’re not going to catch lightning in a bottle twice. One poster hat THR had a picture of a dumpster on fire. Others said it was the post of the year!
if you are looking for a great entertaining laugh, please go to thr and open the thread named "calling @gary". I am enjoying my coffee and cracking up reading the thread. The posters on there are letting gary have it with his horrible basketball takes lol
I will reserve my comments until we sweep them. But it is fun to watch them implode.
I don't have time to watch a ton of games outside of Duke, and even those, many times I can't watch live, but from what I have seen, all this talk about the ACC being weak this year is dead on. It will be interesting to see the SMU game.

Clemson
And UNC can win enough to get in. Idk if they will or not.
And SMU, we’ll know more after Saturday.

I think Clemson has a chance. I thought Wake was going to be better than what they’ve shown.
I don't believe so since Clemson/UNC are still rated better than SMU, and Pitt but we don't go there.
I believe @ SMU, @ Clemson, @ UNC will all be quad 1 games.
If UNC turns things around, the home UNC game could be one too, along with home Pitt, but unlikely.
@ Wake and @ Syracuse has an outside chance to be Quad 1 also, but unlikely.
It's still early, but Louisville may be a surprise. All 5 of their losses have been to ranked teams.
I think it’s time. I think it’s time for another 82-50. What do yall fellas think?
The Blue Devils should FEAST at Will in the interior against the cheats this season.
hopefully the energy from Notre Dame's playoff win against Georgia last night carries over to the Fighting Irish Men's Basketball team when they host the cheats tomorrow afternoon. The cheats could use another 8-11 losses on their resume.
at this point unc should just hire Doug Gottlieb to lead the tar heels men's basketball program

If Seth Trimble is out again, I can see them having a tough game on the road. It would be a great Saturday with a Duke win, a UNC and Kentucky loss.
It’s almost reverse if you think back to when Duke couldn’t get a big man but had a surplus of guards .
IMO, they aren’t getting in the tourney but I don’t think they get rid of Davis. As football is king in sports we could be looking at the overall effect of putting more money into your football NIL . That and I believe Davis coming back has created an issue with all the guards .

Just gonna bump this lol. It’s great only because it’s true.
Dayton, UCLA, and Notre Dame have enjoyed giving wins to the tar bums this season
Dayton - Thanksgiving Gift
UCLA - Christmas Gift
Notre Dame - New Year’s Gift

Coach screwed that up you are up 3 foul coming up the court. The cheats don't have good rebounding on a miss plus the cheats were not in the bonus

Yeah... but... just think what Dean Smith coulda done with this team...
Unfortunately you knew the run was coming. They have like 8 top 100 players
I blame UCLA and Notre Dame for this.
Flip side from the close wins are the close losses they could have won. They could have won the Kansas, Florida and Michigan State games. They won’t roll over for Duke. SMU clearly not ready for prime time.
SMU was feeling themselves. Duke and Cryalotta gave them a True ACC Welcome. Tar Holes played a tough schedule and I hope they don't but i feel they are more than ready for conference play. Louisville also impressive thus far especially in light of recent years. The ACC as a whole has embarrassed itself in the nonconference but hopefully rights the ship in time for postseason as per usual. That I would love to see...
UNC is playing better, but it is still an extremely flawed roster. They have zero post presence, the guards have to be on fire for them to compete with great teams. Duke has had a few teams like this in the past, and it sure is frustrating.
We are much better. My guess is we smash them one game and the other game their guards are on fire and we have a competitive game.

Unc is very flawed, they are not a good defensive team, and are a live by the 3/die by the 3 point shooting team. Also, the Tar Heels have zero post presence.
Jackson and Powell are improving for them
Trimble has been their most consistent player this season
Cadeau has regressed
Davis is shooting the worst he has in his career at North Carolina
Duke has Zero Business losing to those bums this season
