Game Thread [2023-24] NCAA Tournament

[physicsfactor]

Someone at IC posted that Davis and Love combined to go 0-18 from 3 tonight

Same as Duke tomorrow. Amirite @DurhamSon ???

For the entire final 8:00, Bacot was like that ultimate toxic big man we hate to even imagine playing for Duke.

 

[CK86]

Wow, this Iowa State guy just airballed an alley-oop attempt.

UNC struggles as much with the SEC in the tournament as we do. 2018 A&M, 2019 Auburn, 2024 Alabama.

@pantone they were one of the weaker 1 seeds in recent memory by analytics, but i do agree their combo of 25 yr old cormac, 24 yr old bacon, super transfer ingram, and rj davis made them intimidating. fortunately Oates coached the fuck out of hubie and Nelson daddy dicked em.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

This felt so over after that UNC 6-0 run and then a 3pt brick by Bama.

 

[LastHearth]

Hubert getting killed on IC for playing Withers and Wojick down the stretch instead of Trimble and Cadeau

 

[dukeboy911]

@LastHearth that was the turning point, but the nail in the coffin was the withers inexplicable 3pt attempt. that one is going down in unc lore.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Davis made 2 more FTs and they were up 3 with 1:32 left. This was a miracle.

Almost got clipped by Arkansas that one year, too.

Took some nice refereeing down the stretch of that one for UNC to pull it off

 

[DurhamSon]

I am worried about the cream team Hubert is about to bring in to put them over the top

 

[Slap the Floor]

I'm interested to see how they replace Bacot.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Random layup, Withers unconscious missed 3, Nelson and one. That was the end. UNC needed to get a 3 for Ryan down 2. It was some terrible layup attempt by Davis instead, to tie the game in the best case and give Bama last shot.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Hubert was fucking terrible down the stretch.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Went for the tie that would’ve given Bama last shot. A math atrocity.

 

[Slap the Floor]

Hubert was fucking terrible down the stretch.

He really was. Particularly in the last 2:30 or so.

 

[Devilsforlife]

I still don’t know what to truly make of Hubert.

 

[Devilsforlife]

I think he’s a generally competent coach but I’m not ready to declare him great at all
