TAR HEEL Basketball: Bow to the Greatness - Page 8 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Wow atrocious start to the second half by LD II. He played ok in the first half but these turnovers are inexcusable. On the other hand, Marshall's looked pretty bad today as well. Strickland and Mcdonald also look fairly terrible, our guardplay as a whole is the reason we will lose tonight. Our team would look so much better if we had average or competent guardplay.

the pass being one-handed had very little to do w/why it was stolen. it was a terrible decision, as was his decision to try to split the double on the screen

Also, I understand that Reggie's knee is kinda f'ed up, but once that's squared away, he needs to be getting starter's minutes.

idk why you are blaming him for that. 4 guys ran to the ball, find it hard to believe they haven't been coached to pick up trailers

we continue to give up open 3s all game....it's roy williams decision for them to continually do that. it's so annoying b/c every team just rapes us there.

I mean Larry Drew isn't good but some of you seemingly blame him for everything when we have 4 other guys on the court at a time who are missing defensive assignments and making poor plays also.

He learned this from Dean. Difference is when Dean coached, kids weren't growing up practicing 3's and shooting from 21 feet on a consistent basis. Now, every kid from the PG to the C can step out and bang a jumper and it's time for the philosophy to go. FFS stop doubling the post every time.

Reading the game thread the only player constantly called out is Drew when there's plenty of blame to shovel around.

you are right lurchy, the whole team deserves the blame....LDII just makes such horrible, glaring mistakes that are frustrating. he's done it for longer than anyone on the team....he's a junior and still makes ******ed errors.

well i'd argue that drew ****s up more than most of the other players (on offense). this is b/c he has the ball more but it is still he case

edit: so no, i don't really find the blame to be particularly disproportionate

i expected to lose this game....i'd just like to see better play...which i guess was a bad assumption seeing that this is the first road challenge we've had this year in hostile territory in the big 10 challenge.

lol at that tisdale put back.......

i want them just to play harder and have some passion. if they lose.....whatever.

Meh, I guess it's weird that I'm not even that upset. I'd seen all of our games and this result isn't really that surprising to me. Add in the fact that Illinois has gotten every roll tonight and meh.
