Zone defense. They didn't fold when it got close near the end.
We are going to be 0-3 to start SEC play

Love threads like this. Thanks for the reverse juju!
Oh yeah!!??? We are gonna be 1-4 in the SEC! Just wait! Frank cant coach, his clothes look terrible, his hair wont grow back and he has no eyebrows for Gods sake!
I don't care....he's been here too long...If he takes us to the final 4 again this year, I want a new coach....I don't want to have to wait thru another 5 years of mediocre basketball...
Funny how we have "fans" pre-whining about game we haven't even lost yet. lol
I was wrong and glad that we won. Hopefully, we can keep it rolling. With the SEC being so tough this year a .500 SEC record may get us in the NCAA tourney. Because of 2 bad OOC losses we may need to be a game over .500 or win a couple SEC tourney games. Need to get the turnovers down and make free throws if we are going to beat any of the top SEC teams.
Not really. I didn't think we would win, but glad we did. Sorry it's so upsetting to you that I thought we would lose this game.
You must be a complete asshole on a daily basis. I thought we wouldn't win this game. I'm certainly very happy we won. I've been married 24 years and very happy. You are a complete jerk.
Anyone have any insight into our turnover situation? We seem to be sloppy with the ball in the half court. Less so in transition which is amazing. Those are wasted possessions.
Is it because we work so hard to get the ball into the low post for the high percentage shot and defenses collapse on us shutting down the passing lanes?

Yeppers. There has not been a united “us against the world” type mindset at Carolina in any sport since McGuire. We have a “coddle high rollers“ and “milk this for what we can” focus, and it comes off as an atmosphere where both fans AND players are the proletariat. I’ve experienced both mindsets firsthand. I hate to say this, but see Clemson; they have it figured out, and not just recently. I agree there are actions and mindsets that would require some creativity to do what you suggest and be effective, but it would also require a “give a damn” approach by the athletic department and administration. Success at the McGuire level would certainly help that, but regardless of the saber rattling in forums like this, there is too much external activity particularly in basketball to rely on winning big alone.
As it is, I love Carolina sports regardless. I’m excited to see how this team fares out the rest of the season.
Because you've never been wrong? Right...
I admit to being wrong a lot this season.
Are you serious?? One win and Frank doubters need to “eat crow”?? You are serious aren’t you??
Yes, I'm serious. It pisses me off when people constantly decide the fate of this team before they even play. I see it every season in every sport.
If at the end of the season the team hasn't met expectations, let the chips fall where they may. But to decide ahead of time is ridiculous.
There has to be a better way to be winners other than the united “us against the world” type mindset. Maybe like WBB?
Sure there is, in regard to WBB. Recruit and sign players at a relative level higher than McGuire did. Did that ever happen before? Think that’s going to happen now? In the meantime….
That's what I've been posting for years - leaving the ACC did serious damage to hoops recruiting.
Folks with historical knowledge know that Roche and Owens were probably the two best recruits MBB has ever signed. And our being in the ACC was a major reason why they came to USC.
The nature of recruiting and competition has changed. The ACC we left know longer exists with the watering down due to league expansion by the poaching of the Metro and Big East conferences.
Well, nobody is scared by SEC teams. All beatable. Some shine at times, then look bad the next game, like TN yesterday. The B10 looks pretty good, the B12 looks good for the top third, the ACC is weak, don’t know about the PAC12. You never know. Come ready to play and you got a chance every time out.
Well IMHO I think Frank should not have even been given this year, he should have been fired last year. So to start “toooting” his horn, he needs to get to the dance. I agree that someone’s 0-3 prediction was premature, I wouldn’t berate someone else’s projection!!!
As Yogi Berra famously said, "if people don't want to come, how you gonna stop 'em?"
I'm not upset. I enjoyed it. I knew it would come back and bite you in the ass.
