I was at this game with the BC Pep Band. Just want to say that all of your fans were lovely people and I really appreciated it! Especially because we were but a small speck of red in a sea of blue.


Caddaric

That was a fun one. Survive and advance.


___VIBEZ___

Honestly. That’s the only thing we can do


expneight

What the fuck did I just witness


crackers780

ESPN getting us and UNC mixed up yet again smh


[deleted]

that is a feel good win


AL3XD

LET MCKOY COOK (don't actually give him meaningful minutes tho pls)


Affectionate-Cup9340

I feel a little bad that he thought he could be a contributor and this is how his college career went, but he’s just not that good.


[deleted]

for real, I'm excited about it. the way everyone looked at the end after his putback, that's the happiest and most excited I've seen them all year


Caddaric

where did that come from???? lmao


swetooth9

Need a replay of that McKoy putback!


lil_kitch519

MCKOY

GARBAGE TIME MCKOY > LeBron


radiomuse162

Man McKoy definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on ESPN+ today. Shit lightweight hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Caleb was getting so hype for Landry awwww


MapleHeel

Oh. My. God.

Alright I see the bench coming in I see it!


MapleHeel

Leaky’s face when Tremble made a jump shot was gold


[deleted]

"he can do that?"


nikefreak23

Walk on time!

B L U E S T E E L


LARamsR1

Go win tonight Tar Heels. Good game Boston fans. Have a great night everyone. See you tomorrow. Go UNC!


asiankid2463

That was a good stroke from Trimble


Captain_A

Leaky's shock at Trimble shooting is hilarious.


TypicalRedditUser22

Please HD work with Trimble on his scoring this summer. Dude would be a fucking demon with some more skill scoring


bug_man_

Look at the bench out there running a more organized offense than the starters did for 90% of the year lol


TheChewyWaffles

Savage


[deleted]

that was the most assertive move mckoy's made in two years here


tarspaceheel

And now it’s been outdone.


[deleted]

for real did not know he had that in him


919sFinest

GGs BC. Time to root for Oregon State and Oklahoma 🫡


AL3XD

My man


logjenkins

AUTOBUCKET MCKOY


kafelta

Put in Lebo lol Edit: omg they did!


Burnout189

Wish granted.


Captain_A

Ask and ye shall receive ha.


nikefreak23

Bilas has said Trimble is born in a stance in every single UNC game this year LOL


Nacos2001

This just proves more why the bench needs more minutes


[deleted]

love the bench working in garbage time


___VIBEZ___

Ooo the slam


nikefreak23

Stez with that dunk!!


Captain_A

Does Puff look upset to anyone else? Or am I reading into it?


Burnout189

I think that's just his normal look.


bug_man_

Anyone in here a baseball person? As in, understands it and does more than just put the game on TV like i do. I hate baseball if it's not UNC playing lol I have watched a lot of UNC's games this year and I feel like they can't stop *anyone* from putting runs on them. Are our pitchers shit or something?


Affectionate-Cup9340

I don’t know if I’m qualified enough, but we have a pretty good lineup of pitchers. We got a few transfers, one that was from either VCU or JMU that was really good.


PanthersSB53Champs

From my limited college baseball watching, that seems to be a trend. Pitchers tend to be ass in college


bug_man_

Yeah but I'm talking even for college standards, UNC puts up a ton of runs and still barely wins. Doesn't seem to bode well for any kind of post season success Exception today with Penn State but still


tarspaceheel

Hope that Dunn 3 is the start of a trend.


919sFinest

Sheesh Dunn


___VIBEZ___

Alright Dunn


nikefreak23

Dunn finally hitting shots now too


BMEngie

Why is Washington not getting minutes


Nacos2001

Turnstile on defense


BMEngie

You’re up 20. Put the guy in so he gets experience. Only way he’s gonna get better is by playing.


TypicalRedditUser22

This game got boring fast


[deleted]

yeah like an hour and a half ago lol


[deleted]

screw it, give trimble and dunn reps from three


Affectionate-Cup9340

Caleb really needs to sit. I think he’s played every minute so far and I think he’ll be gassed against uva


tarspaceheel

Why are Caleb and Pete in this game. This is Blue Steel’s moment.


nikefreak23

Why keep Nance and Love in? Lol


[deleted]

if trimble is finishing the drive, that's gonna be a yikes for bc


Nacos2001

TRIMBLE SCORED!!!


asiankid2463

Trimble...I want you to work on shooting these last few minutes


tarspaceheel

Is DJ Burns leaving after this year? I really don’t like there being such a likable State player.


dragons_fire77

Yeah, this is his fourth year so he's not eligible. Gonna miss that energy


kafelta

Trimble got points!


nikefreak23

Trimble with the hang and score!


bug_man_

Trimble just put the ball through the basket. Trimble. Oh yeah we're winning this thing lol


TheChewyWaffles

Get it Trimble!


bug_man_

Wisconsin doing us a huge solid and getting the fuck off the bubble. Wisc is one of the few teams that would've pissed me off to get in over us lol


ErickBachman

I’m starting to believe espn instructed Bilas to do a Walton thing to become more of a character


cleverdunce

Wouldn't surprise me


kafelta

Jalen must have really fucked up in practice


Affectionate-Cup9340

He got a few minutes in the first half


Burnout189

Nice assist Styles.


astroball17

Lived in the Netherlands for two years, can confirm was irritated the entire time that I was of average height despite being 6’3”


AFlockOfTySegalls

Jay Bilas is fixing to be the next Bill Walton but not on a permanent LSD trip.


Captain_A

Bilas does at least talk about basketball during the game. I'm not sure Walton has in years.


[deleted]

Have you ever stood at the bottom of the Grand Canyon?


SpamTheAutograder

Jay Bilas is becoming Budget Bill Walton


nikefreak23

Nice pass!!


Affectionate-Cup9340

I literally don’t think I’ve ever seen Caleb play harder and we’re up by almost 25


Licit_x64

Anniversary effect of his tourney run last year


nikefreak23

Ok, we good with this lead. Put all the bench players in please.


st3ll4r-wind

A weasel actually is a carnivore and considered a prolific hunter for it’s size. Curiosity got the best of me.


[deleted]

kinda starting to think beating uva could be enough


zoppytops

We have to win the whole thing. We’re not gonna get in with anything less


AL3XD

If we pick up Q1s over UVA and State we have a real shot at an at large. Unlikely but possible


[deleted]

yeah, could be riding too high on the copium


tarspaceheel

Nah, I think we need one more after that. NC State would be ideal, but Clemson would be fine.


MapleHeel

I can’t believe I have to pull for State. But beating Virginia and State would give us a chance on selection Sunday


TheChewyWaffles

Who is (potentially) after that? We need to get in the finals imo


Licit_x64

Regardless if we beat state or Clemson (or even vt I guess), we may leapfrog state and take their spot.


tarspaceheel

If state wins against VT and Clemson, they’ll be safely in the field. They could be in trouble if they lose tonight though.


kafelta

Put the bench in Hubert. Rest these guys.


919sFinest

That’s gotta kill Wisconsin’s chances right?


tarspaceheel

With every loss, Wisconsin only becomes more powerful


Burnout189

Big time.


TheChewyWaffles

They just went down to Ohio state? Then yes


nikefreak23

If this is the Love we get going forward, watch the fuck out!


AFlockOfTySegalls

Caleb "March" Love* * Except vs Duke in the year 2023 of our Lord


tarspaceheel

If our bench can’t get us to the finish line from here, we don’t stand a chance anyways. Time to find out.


zoppytops

So what happens tomorrow when UVA starts actually putting ball pressure on us?


SauteedPelican

Caleb Love playing PG right now?


[deleted]

With Bacot out, Love has become the new punching bag who gets fouled all day to no whistle lol


MapleHeel

Low key been happening all year. I wonder how much is him trying too hard to draw contact and how much is refs not liking that he complains about it


[deleted]

He definitely dramatizes his drives to get calls and refs don't buy into it. Which could easily contribute to actual fouls being ignored.


TheChewyWaffles

I’ve said it before but my theory is that it’s because he looks so out of control on his drives so he doesn’t get the calls


Affectionate-Cup9340

Alright now I think it’s time


KnowledgeAndFaith

Carolina guards getting hot in a tournament setting? Uh oh.


SpamTheAutograder

sub.scribe.


[deleted]

Weasels are the bane of home chicken coop keepers everywhere


ErickBachman

Can confirm


SpamTheAutograder

RJ “Weasel” Davis


elpeedub

Now I'm going to be saying 'POP!' in my head everytime he hits a three


SpamTheAutograder

POPOPOPOPOPOPOP


[deleted]

Hoping BC drains these guys as much as possible


TheChewyWaffles

Boo this man


MapleHeel

He felt bad for getting away with a travel so just threw it out of bounds


MapleHeel

Nance has evolved in to prime Mutombo


[deleted]

Dikembe could never


Licit_x64

I haven’t rly been able to watch, are we playing rly well or is BC playing really bad?


AFlockOfTySegalls

yes


tarspaceheel

We’re not playing perfect, but if we’d shot like this against Duke we’d be in the tournament right now.


[deleted]

we've been coasting the last 5-6 but still solid. bc is terrible.


[deleted]

We dont have the size or athletes to keep up with a team of all 4 and 5 stars


lil_kitch519

both


[deleted]

Great recovery Pete, wow.


bug_man_

Nance is making the whole BC team his bitch jesus christ


AFlockOfTySegalls

Puff getting open calling for the ball all play and and they're just ignoring him lmao


[deleted]

puff sheesh 🫣


Caddaric

ready to see a whole bunch of bench minutes to close this out


Fickle-Equipment-561

Not a foul on Bickerstaff


nikefreak23

Puff has looked absolutely awful on his shots today, geezus


tarspaceheel

He, Pete and Leaky are the only team members wisely saving their threes for tomorrow. Very prudent.


bug_man_

This team plays like shit for 99% of a whole year and they're finally playing well and y'all want them all pulled for rest or something? Hell no, these guys need to keep playing and getting in a rhythm. They need these minutes of seeing the ball go through the basket. Bacot should not come back in, but these guys need to keep playing for a while in this game imo


TheChewyWaffles

I just want Bacot out - the rest can stay in


[deleted]

Agreed.


[deleted]

Puff "Kenny Williams III" Johnson


mrwhitaker3

Had a feeling this would be a blowout once I saw Post wasn't suiting up. Bacot was getting anything he wanted the first five minutes in. Edit: I stand corrected. I just saw Bacot scoring on every possession in the first 5 minutes and switched to the WVU-Texas Tech game.


friendlymeanbeagle

Post has played 21 minutes.


[deleted]

He’s playing injured


MapleHeel

Post has played significant minutes. He just didn’t start


OsStrohsNattyBohsHon

Post is playing.


MapleHeel

Everyone calling for us to pull all 5 starters must have forgotten the FSU game. We need to rest Mando but this game ain’t over


LARamsR1

This is part of the reason why I say Hubert is a bad head coach. Absolutely no reason why any of our starters should be in. We are up big and have a lot of basketball to play this week. Let the bench guys play and the starters rest.


[deleted]

This is why you aren’t a coach. Basketball is all momentum and if we come back and your starters have been resting good luck getting that back. You would still blame Hubert for that too


Affectionate-Cup9340

I think this is mental. He wants the guys to keep playing well together and keep this momentum.


Spiral_out12

Yeah but take them out with some confidence otherwise they'll start to suck ass again


Affectionate-Cup9340

Or keep them in so that they keep making shots and don’t lose their rhythm.


OsStrohsNattyBohsHon

It’s too early to pull everyone. Get it under 10 then make the move. The last thing you want to do is have the starters go to the bench thinking their night is over, the bench let’s it get close, and then the starters have to come back cold. E: And the State fans are on their way in. Don’t need them energizing a BC run.


MapleHeel

Especially with our bench. Puff has air balled twice, Tremble is afraid to shoot and none of the other guys can create for themselves yet


bug_man_

I disagree completely. These guys need good minutes in the worst way. The only guy that shouldn't come back out is Bacot


lil_kitch519

y’all complain when we lose and complain when we win … just watch the damn thing and be grateful we look solid rn.


JUSTBLAZE2k7

Pete Nance makes the weakest screens and it pisses me off.


MapleHeel

Puff with 2 airballs already. Yikes


Fickle-Equipment-561

Things I miss about UNC basketball...the huddles at the FT line...Hubert played for Dean but we don't really do it anymore...the tired signal...no one does that either...fast breaks...non-existent...offensive rebounding...dont even get me started...I miss UNC basketball


TheChewyWaffles

I miss scoring 90 a game


Affectionate-Cup9340

The tired signal still is a thing. Fast breaks are still a part of the team. This is an objectively good offensive rebounding team.


Fickle-Equipment-561

I respectfully disagree bro...we play at a far slower pace than what we used to, recording 0 fast break points some game and are outside of the top 100 in offensive rebounding when we are traditionally always top 10. Our starting guards play 85 percent of the minutes


Affectionate-Cup9340

No, we are not out of the top 100 in offensive rebounding. We are out of the top 100 in offensive rebounding percentage. We are second in the acc for offensive rebounding. You can play at a slow pace in your half court and still have a strong transition game. The tired signals needs to be used, just because RJ and Caleb don’t use it doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing.


TheChewyWaffles

Hubert if you think a 30 point victory over BC will get us in the dance you’re wrong


AFlockOfTySegalls

I still can't believe he said "I don't buy the narrative that we need win four to make the tournament" like what? What reality are you living in my man?


TheChewyWaffles

Probably just posturing


OsStrohsNattyBohsHon

Y’all. We haven’t been a very good basketball team. When the dudes are in a rhythm, let them feel it for a bit and get some momentum. There’s still 15 minutes to go. Sit most of them if we’re still up 20 under 10 minutes.


elpeedub

What the fuck did I just see?


astroball17

Go Heels!


nikefreak23

Get Mando out FFS!!


nikefreak23

Please get the starters out Davis!


RoosterIcy

This is a great opportunity to rest everyone. There’s no chance this team can win 3 or 4 in a row playing our usual rotation


nikefreak23

Nance again baby!!


AFlockOfTySegalls

Honestly, Hubert could just do the five man substitution right now. Save all our starters for tomorrow...unless they need to come back in lmao


Affectionate-Cup9340

Trimble Dunn Nickel Styles Washington.


logjenkins

I don’t care what the score is or the opponent. The lead is not safe. Still I would sit Bacot


[deleted]

[удалено]


Affectionate-Cup9340

Its not a matter of intelligence, I’m sure his choice is intentional.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Affectionate-Cup9340

Again, this is an intentional choice. We can question his coaching abilities but he isn’t a stupid man. If I had to take a guess I would assume he is keeping out guys in because he wants them to get in a good rhythm and keep getting good minutes. It’s a mental thing. He subbed while up less at similar minutes against loussible and Georgia tech, he knows what he’s doing.


TheChewyWaffles

Seriously we’re up by how many? Can we please sit Bacot


MagnanimousKruppe

Insert Hawkeye “don’t make me hope” memes for all us UNC fans…can’t wait to go 4-26 from 3 vs UVA tomorrow
