I don't. I won't fault him for playing hero ball a few possessions here and there, but he thought he could just take over from the onset. Missed his first few shots, none of which were actually easy, threw lazy passes (4 TOs), got into foul trouble, played bad defense, and basically set the standard for how we'd play for the rest of the half.

1/8/2017 1:53:53 PM

that was quite the fucking exclamation point for UNC to put on that shitshow of a half...drained a three for nearly halfcourt.

1/8/2017 1:54:19 PM

Its interesting that we are even missing free throws.

Its all mental. UNC is mentally raping this team

1/8/2017 1:56:13 PM

At the very least, I hope Gott shows this game over and over to show the players what a little better effort on defense can do for you. Because if you're struggling to score, you sure better pick it up on the other end.

We must be watching two different teams. Rowan should be getting more shots when DSJ is on the floor.

hey boozie remember when you jumped on my nuts and said no one but earl talked shit about DSJ ?!? I welcome you back.

1/8/2017 1:57:43 PM

Didn't a Gottfried-coached team hold UNC to 46 points @UNC just a couple years ago

1/8/2017 1:59:36 PM

Yeah I don't think anybody minds Smith playing hero ball.

We mind him taking dumb shots early in the shot clock without trying to get something better. Save those shots for the end of the shot clock when he HAVE to have a shot. Not early in the possession.

1/8/2017 2:00:01 PM

it's really hard to put any positive spin on this. our team is young and/or mentally weak and poorly coached. I really don't see us going to the NCAAT

1/8/2017 2:01:08 PM

The funny thing is that this UNC team probably won't even make it to the sweet-16. They're playing aggressive on defense and getting away with it because they're in the Dean's Dome. The biggest pitfall on defense is leaving 3 point shooters wide open. If the team would of run a balanced offense with good passes , movement, and better shot selection then this would be a different game.

1/8/2017 2:02:57 PM

We'll be fine. These guys need to be humbled like this, especially when they think they can win alone on talent. Miami was a start, but losing to Carolina and knowing you'll be ridiculed for a while should wake them up. Either way, it's looking like home-court advantage is heavily skewed in the ACC. We may be lucky to win more than 2 ACC road games.

1/8/2017 2:03:59 PM

^^^ Of course we can, this is only the 3rd ACC team and a ton of good teams left on our schedule.

Dude I don't think you are watching at all.....You really think we are better with Markell in? I don't even know where to begin.

Please don't try to be "a fan" when DSJr is dominating the NBA

1/8/2017 2:05:44 PM

lol this just keeps getting worse

17 turnovers so far

1/8/2017 2:10:52 PM

I was expecting this. DSJ had a triple double last game against a team that couldn't shoot and we won big. Those games are usually followed by something that looks like this.

1/8/2017 2:11:10 PM

I lost track of time shovelling ice and just turned on the game.

WTF happened, sloppy turnovers?

1/8/2017 2:12:39 PM

and an aversion to playing anything that could be considered defense

1/8/2017 2:13:39 PM

Shoveling ice? You mean your roads wasn't fine?

No defense and no offense = bad game.

1/8/2017 2:13:57 PM

Rowan comes up holding the ball but it stays with UNC

1/8/2017 2:21:25 PM

Ref 1: State is coming back. They've closed the gap to 27 points

Ref 2: Hold my beer.

1/8/2017 2:22:26 PM

And the horse shit continues. Anya was straight up Meeks just lost the ball.

1/8/2017 2:23:43 PM

We still guard the three point line from the free throw line

1/8/2017 2:24:13 PM

I think if Anya just cherry picked like that all game it would be closer

1/8/2017 2:24:47 PM

UNC played 17 minutes in the first half with 3 total fouls. So far none in the 2nd and we are at the second media TO. Sometimes this shit is just laughable.

1/8/2017 2:24:54 PM

So, anyone notice yurt is completely invisible this game

The team is getting their asses handed to them.
Also...hes not in the NBA yet? What does this have to do with the NBA?
Talk about getting the cart in front of the horse.

1/8/2017 2:29:07 PM

Hahahaha unc player missed layup then the whistle blows this is terrible

1/8/2017 2:29:20 PM

This clearly is UNC's Superbowl. Their going after lose balls, playing both sides of the ball nonstop. If only they played like that against Georgia Tech.

1/8/2017 2:30:50 PM

Great look by Mav to start that UNC fastbreak.

1/8/2017 2:31:30 PM

Ok mark the zone isn't working let's try something new

1/8/2017 2:32:30 PM

Might want to get a guy within 20 feet of Jackson a few times.

1/8/2017 2:33:08 PM

1/8/2017 2:33:33 PM

Luke Kennard is gonna throw 70 down on us if he gets these looks.

lol I had a similar thought when I saw that, why not just use the cherry pick strategy and turn it in to a purely offense vs offense game

1/8/2017 2:35:52 PM

Down by 42 but there is still time!

1/8/2017 2:35:56 PM

At least we aren't going to get tripled up.

[Edited on January 8, 2017 at 2:40 PM. Reason : Hopefully]

1/8/2017 2:40:25 PM

Is Mav color blind?

1/8/2017 2:40:38 PM

Lol, talking about movie sequels

1/8/2017 2:42:51 PM

What is our worst loss in school history?? Surely this has to be it.

1/8/2017 2:43:36 PM

1/8/2017 2:44:07 PM

It's not the reason for the game, but do you guys realize UNC has 0 fouls this half with 5:13 left????

They had 3 fouls in the first with 3 minutes left.

[Edited on January 8, 2017 at 2:47 PM. Reason : First foul at 4:55 hot damn]

1/8/2017 2:44:45 PM

Most teams stop playing hard up 30. UNC goes on a 22-0 run

1/8/2017 2:45:13 PM

A foul!

1/8/2017 2:46:37 PM

They will call multiple fouls on UNC before the game ends. So cumulatively the box score doesn't look as lopsided.

currently only 17 fouls for State and 12 for UNC

[Edited on January 8, 2017 at 2:52 PM. Reason : make it 17]

1/8/2017 2:49:03 PM

this is not the game to whine about the lack of foul calls

1/8/2017 2:52:14 PM

A couple quick fouls on your star player to bench him can be fairly important in setting the tone of the entire game

1/8/2017 2:53:10 PM

Not whining at all. Simply stating UNC played 32 minutes today while committing a total of 3 fouls in a high paced game.

1/8/2017 2:53:30 PM

Pointing out things is fine.

What twista is attempting is stupidity and probably trolling.
