[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 925263, member: 253"] Yeah, that was about what I expected. Especially with our best rebounder and big man going down after 7 minutes, it would have been a huge upset to win at Chapel Hill. What I liked: -The first 15 minutes. We played solid defense and hit our shots. -Jalon Moore slicing to the basket and scoring in the paint. It is fun to see his improvement, and he has scored in double figures in 5 straight. He even hit a three. -5 blocks and 8 steals. We had stretches of good defense, and some nice individual effort. What I didn't like: -The last 35 minutes. Like others have mentioned, those last 5 minutes of the first half killed us. Our defense went soft and our offense looked reminiscent of the old "clogged toilet" offense of Hewitt days. -36 points given up in the paint, and a 22-43 rebounding margin. Ugh. Again, I still want to see more of Meka and Martynov, but I guess they just aren't going to get the minutes. We had no answer inside, and the stupid 5-switching man defense only makes it worse. Yeah, let's matchup Deivon Smith on Bacot and see what happens! :mad: We needed to pack the lane and make them shoot threes...and we didn't. That is poor coaching. -You know we aren't going to get calls @UNC, but man, the refs were pulling hard for the Tar Heels to win this one. 24 FTs to 8, and they called 20 fouls on GT and only 11 on UNC. They called three fouls on JMoore in one possession! -Howard handling the ball too much. I've said it before, as "a play" in our playbook, I don't mind the 5 at the foul line when we make good cuts and screens around him, but when we go to it too often, we get killed by Howard's poor decision-making and ball handling. Box score says he had 4 TOs, but it felt like more. -It looks like it was our game plan to not even try for offensive rebounds (especially the first half), but to try and hurry down the court and not give up easy buckets. That didn't really work as they still had 17 fast break points. I hope both Smith and Franklin get better quick, because we need them. I like what Moore, Kelly, and Coleman are bringing, but they need help. [/QUOTE]
