Re: Ostensibly Hoops
I know it's only the first game, but Carolina has some major issues.
KU is going to win by 20 and Hunter Dickinson could have a 30/15/5 against Carolina's shit excuse for a front court.
Hubert has been begging the donors for more NIL money, and those big cats who travel out to Kansas for the game are going to get a good taste of what Carolina's shitty NIL has helped bring about.
Even before Roy retired, I was worried about Carolina gradually becoming the new Indiana. Well, I don't think we need to worry about a gradual decline. It looks like we may be in for a sudden drop from mid-80's IU to late 90's to mid-2000's IU, and in case anyone has forgotten, things haven't improved all that much since then over there.
Fuck almighty. We are screwed worse than IB's wife staying late at the neighbor's cookout after IB stumbles home to pass out drunk from four natural lights.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
30 assists, 24 3 pointers in last night's game
Wright St doesn't play defense so that wasn't a great test but hopefully UK can grow from this
UNC is ranked 9th in the country and you've been a good tourney team. I think its a little early to raise the red flag

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
DS — It’s a horribly constructed roster. Stacked at the 1/2/3, one 5 who can’t play extended minutes, and a hodge podge of misfit 4’s. Dickinson isn’t the only center who’ll feast vs Carolina this year.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
like TAK says, it's a horribly constructed roster. As to tourney success, that miracle run has made you forget about the continuous under-achievement since 2017.
2018: lost as a 2 seed in the second round
2019: lost as a 1 seed to a friggin Bruce Pearl coached team
2020: no tournament. wouldn't have made it.
2021: shit season but not as shitty as 2020. Team gets ass kicked in first round 8/9 game.
2022: team gets hot late and then goes on miracle run that finally flamed out when everything caught up to Carolina
2023: first preseason number 1 to miss the friggin tournament
2024: 1 seed that blows it down the stretch against Bama
This program is in year 8 of a steady decline.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Except for a historically poor performance from our best player (although in fairness that seems to happen somewhat frequently to Carolina in the tourny), we would've beaten Bama easily. Not sure we would've beaten UConne, but we were definitely a FF calibre team last year. It's possible the loss to Bama was karma for 2022, that team certainly didn't seem like a FF caliber team most of the year, but it sure was fun watching them catch fire at the right time and, obviously, against the right opponent (twice).
Can't argue with any of the rest of your analysis, except to say we were in back to back title games in the two years prior to your starting point, winning one of them. And certainly the two championship games we played in we didn't get embarrassed and really both of them could've gone either way. So that's 3 championship game appearances in 10 years, winning one and put up victory-worthy fights in the other two. Hard to think of any program that wouldn't take that in a heartbeat.
I will admit that the lows seem to be getting lower though. Solid 3 seasons on your list that I'd just as soon I never had to watch or remember. Can't recall saying that about any comparable period of UNC hoops in my lifetime, not even close...

Today's recruits were 10 when that happened. That doesn't mean shit to them.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
its Carolina
you guys have serious money.
You just need to get creative - like having special events to access the team for NIL donors.
you know, shit that was illegal and got you a lifetime ban 20 years ago

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Wife threw me a surprise party for my 40th during the game. The restaurant had the game on but I was only paying attention in passing. I’m sure I’m going to become enraged at Hubert’s shitty late game coaching when I watch it.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Happy Birthday, young Heel Brother!
You called it on Hubert. Our veteran “All American” shits his pants again vs real talent. I don’t want to hear +/- stats. Captain Jack drilled his two 3’s and is a vicious driver. When RJ is playing like a bitch, sit his ass down. And we wonder why we don’t attract elite one & dones. I’m tired of “deferring” to the career college players. But that’s the Hubert Way…

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
In other news, the four year old said “oh fuck” when she dropped something during the middle of her preschool class at our church a few weeks ago and the other day informed her friend that “Dook fans are pussies. My dad says so.”
So, I’ve got that going for me on the home front….

“You can’t say shit. That’s not nice for a young lady.”
“It’s fun though.”

Re: Ostensibly Hoops

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
This Jayhawk-Spartan game is pretty close, albeit, low scoring.
Looking forward to rooting against Duke in a couple hours.
