Time to see just how far UNC has slid.

One of the things that sucks most about the way UNC is playing

is that they don’t rate ESPN anymore and I’m reduced to looking for video streams.

Tell Me About It

The D.C. area is getting Maryland-FSU, and I can’t get ESPN 360 to work on any computer I own.

Does the rest of the team even understand they are supposed to run the floor with Strickland

Was anyone else even over half court when he took that shot?

Maybe My Internet's Broken

Because the uniforms are college basketball, and the court’s a college court, but the play is strictly junior high school.

It seems so shallow to promote the “pageantry and tradition” of VT in the ACC

Some signs of life - Ginyard hits a three and Henson has two good possessions in a row

Yeah.

They’ve also stopped being quite so out of control, penetrating and kicking it back out so VT can just pack the lane. Is it wrong that my first thought is “This can’t last,” though?

Ed Davis

Will not be accused of playing without intensity tonight. I think the rim personally insulted him or something.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 9:43 PM EST reply actions  

it hurts

to see a halfcourt team like VT run on us like this

by Targyle on Feb 4, 2010 9:44 PM EST reply actions  

Only When It Works Though

They’re doing it in part because UNC half-court defense is actually decent tonight.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 9:49 PM EST up reply actions  

I'd still like to see a stat for what percentage of loose balls we get

I bet it would like bad. They aren’t doing much better tonight, either.

Good Recovery in the First Half

Tech’s poor three point shooting and foul trouble helped though. Makes me nervous that they’ll get hot in the second half.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 10:02 PM EST reply actions  

and now theyre throwing things

maybe we can get huggins to make an announcement

by Targyle on Feb 4, 2010 10:14 PM EST reply actions  

I Was Just Thinking

Ginyard looked more confident in his shot, and then, well…

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 10:22 PM EST reply actions  

Delaney's Out With Four Fouls

And I think Tech’s fans may cost them the game at some point; I have faith their blood-alcohol content will overrule their common sense.

Wow - some tough play inside. From Thompson, no less. Nice to see.

I’d really like to see that be consistent.

Especially with four fouls.

I think having Henson and the Wears playing strong gives him a little freedom to take risks.

Delaney's Back In

The Heels need to be running at him every time down the court.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 10:52 PM EST reply actions  

Although Delaney’s on Ginyard.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 10:53 PM EST up reply actions  

Stupid 5th Foul on Thompson

Made even worse because UNC shouldn’t have given up the offensive rebound that extended the possession to begin with.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 11:01 PM EST reply actions  

I still can't see why a team with so much height and athleticism

can give up so many Offensive Rebounds. It’s depressing to watch.

So does this team have the heart to play tough and come back?

The Davis and Henson from the first half do. Don’t know if they came out of the locker room though.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 11:03 PM EST up reply actions  

Wow.

The offense just died in the last two minutes. And no one fouled out for VT.

by T.H. on Feb 4, 2010 11:11 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah, they pretty much just gave up.

No heart.
