UNC is probably playing the best basketball in the country right now, but I think we can beat them if we shoot well. The scary part about Carolina is that they beat Dook by 16 and FSU by 18 without shooting the three well at all. If you had given me their stats from three at the beginning of last week I'd have predicted 0-2. Anyway, I am rooting for Syracuse to make the tournament so I hope they play well. Just not well enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to game plan differently against the 2-3, and yes they HAVE the talent to win without the long ball, but they’re going to need to establish the perimeter shot to beat the zone, IMO. Tough team to get penetration on with the length of our guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coulda had them That's what happens when you can't shoot for crap. Syracuse has ALWAYS irritated me with free throw shooting. We actually outplayed Duke on Saturday, too.

It'd help if cuse had a center that could do anything. Their inside game is almost non existent. I hope not, but I could see north Carolina beating them tonight by 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, but I could see north Carolina beating them tonight by 30 I think we'll know within the first 7-8 minutes what sort of game it will be. If Carolina comes out shooting their "normal" percentage from three it could be a long night for Cuse...if they are cold and have to beat that zone in other ways, it will be a tight one.

Buffalo716 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Good effort but starting the second half flat killed them i would like to see Tyus in attack mode all game... he always had the ability to take over a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s better at shooting contested shots and shots off the bounce than he is at “set” shots. Koby White was unreal. I wasn’t all that impressed with anyone else on the UNC team. Free throws?! Really?! Pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisses me off. Yea he is tremendous off the dribble but a 2 guard should be which is his natural spot... He can attack the basket from the 1 or 2... he just doesn’t always seem to want to takeover Frank can’t drive which was his best asset and That makes Tyus play the 1 and exert more energy side note: You are still surprised SU can’t make free throws? It’s been about 25 years of that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Free throw shooting... AGAIN!!! I call shenanigans to anyone saying Boeheim emphasizes free throw fundamentals. Brissett is awful when he shouldn't be and Battle is super inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea his teams as a whole are usually poor FT shooting teams BUT Chukwu has improved tenfold and actually has a clean release now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
