Jetheelz Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Maryland played a better game, no other way to say it. Carolina has alot of things to work on, and yesterdays game just showed it even more. Their defense (or lack thereof) has got to be a top priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLee83 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh well. 18-1 is still great. I think they needed that to wake them up, they really haven't been playing that good lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Maryland played a better game, no other way to say it. Carolina has alot of things to work on, and yesterdays game just showed it even more. Their defense (or lack thereof) has got to be a top priority When Frasor first went down, I thought no big deal. This team is deep enough and experienced enough to win without him. Then I realized who his backup was. Quentin freakin' Thomas. Oh well. 18-1 is still great. I think they needed that to wake them up, they really haven't been playing that good lately. However, that is true. Roy Williams teams often do this garbage, and then all of a sudden in one moment, boom, they wake up. The year the heels won it all, that moment was again, against Maryland in the Dean Dome. McCants and company were playing horrible, and they were down about 6 or 7 after a Maryland run. Roy calls a timeout, yells at the players, breaks a clipboard in half, and benches every last one of 'em. They then made three 3's in a row, and never looked back again. I really thought that was about to happen in the game the other night. Oh well, cant win 'em all I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losinf Frasor clearly hurt but Quentin didn't play poorly against MD, that's not why the Heels lost. They played w/o passion and hustle for 3/4 of the game, MD wanted it more and they got it. I thought the close calls against Clemson and Ga Tech would wake them up but I was wrong, hopefully this one actually does wake them up and they begin playing for 40 minutes.

I should have clarified...I just plain ol dont like Quentin Thomas, lol. If there was a way to clone Lawson, and keep him in at all times...well that'd be amazing.

If there was a way to clone Lawson, and keep him in at all times...well that'd be amazing. Obviosuly we'd want Lawson on the floor 40 mins if that was possible, Quentin is not very good and clearly nowhere near as good as Frasor but the Heels can survive w/ QT in short spurts. We had a similar situation w/ Felton in '05 and they survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a similar situation w/ Felton in '05 and they survived. And everytime he came on the court I had to hold my breath the entire time. He turns the ball over so much you might as well just let the opponent keep posession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny green balls Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 losing fraiser hurt bad. a solid 6th man is absolutely crucial to a championship run. unc will likely still be a 1 seed when it's all said and done but a deep tourney run is going to depend on some guys stepping up to fill that void. a good starting five can get you to the dance but it can't get you to the final four.

Danny Green is probably the best 6th man in the Country. Carolin astill has decent depth, not great like last year or good before Frasor got hurt but it's still decent and alot of teams would like to trade rosters w/ the Heels as very few have as good of a starting 5 as the Heels.

nyjunc Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 memphis lets me down every year in my work bracket-- they are never tested!!! don't believe the hype! They lost in the elite 8 the last 2 years and they are alot better this year. Their conf stinks but they were tested in the non conf and passed. Right now nthey sure look like a Championship caliber team, I can change my mind depending upon who is in their bracket but as of today I'd pick them for the FF.
