Ostensibly Hoops

[goldenbear]

I want Paige back at the one as well, this team needs a shake up

[eCat]

Bama is going to the tournament

[sardis]

Paige and Meeks seem to have digressed since their freshman years.

Brice Johnson is NBA ready.

There seems to be no half court offense from UNC. Does not bode well for close grind it out type games.

[hedge]

UNC has become Indiana. Great history, currently irrelevant. We haven't had a good shooting team since 2009, Duke seems to have one every year. Yeah, they have died by the 3 plenty, but at least they have guys who can make an outside shot occasionally. Year after year. And this was (at times last night) 4 freshmen, in a hostile gym, on national TV, knocking down 3's, and the home team is 1-13. That would be embarrassing if it was so fucking expected from every UNC team in the past 7 or 8 years. Find somebody who can shoot the fucking ball , Roy. Jesus fucking christ. All the IC knob lickers have been talking about Marcus Paige for years as if he's in the same category as Phil Ford or Ty Lawson. He's King Rice at best...

[eCat]

You'll have a new coach next year

and no recruiting

*then* you'll be Indiana

Roy got outcoached...and he should not have been.

[eCat]

I think its pretty simple - Roy is stubborn and he's old school.

As long as his approach is "what can you do for Carolina Blue" as opposed to "this is what Carolina will do for you" he's never going to get the kind of players UNC fans want. There are just too many other programs that are going to sell the one and done - and if by chance he ends up with a solid 4 year kid that is a scorer by his junior year, he'll still have a team of role players to surround him with.

I'm in no hurry for UNC to replace Roy Williams.

"As long as his approach is "what can you do for Carolina Blue" as opposed to "this is what Carolina will do for you" he's never going to get the kind of players UNC fans want."

Let's transfer this into an historical perspective: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Wait, fuck that shit, fuck what you can do for your country, just get everything you can out of your country for free."

eCat/UK = closet socialists

Roy/UNC = builders of loyalty, work ethic and fambly values

[AlabamAlum]

Have I mentioned that Bama has won 5-straight, 3 of which were on the road?

[aTm]

I'm sure they'll lose their only remaining game that matters to me.

[AlabamAlum]

Which is?

[hedge]

I wonder if Hulga from Mulga (or whatever it is) follows Bama hoops?

[aTm]

Kentucky

[AlabamAlum]

Oh, Kentucky will beat us badly at Rupp. We beat LSU for you, which was ahead of you in the standings. Be appreciative.

Currently we are at 16-9, and have a good RPI, I think if we win 3 of 5 and get at least one win in the SEC-T, we should be in the tourney.

Which would be pretty good for a team predicted to finish 13th out of 14 teams in the SEC.

[aTm]

Meh, your game with them actually won't matter much anymore once Kentucky beats us Saturday

[AlabamAlum]

You at home against them?

[aTm]

Yes, but our coach is still Billy Kennedy so there is that.

[AlabamAlum]

Kentucky is not a great road team. They are 3-5 this year. TAMU, on the other hand, is 14-1 in thier friendly confines.

Should be a great game.

[aTm]

If we do win Saturday, then I'm pretty sure we are just being set up for blowing a chance at a conference title by losing at home in the final game of the season, just like we consistently blow opportunities under this coach.

[AlabamAlum]

That's the fiery, Aggie never-say-die spirit.
