I never dreamed I would see a Unc team this small and finesse in my lifetime. I really feel bad for Roy having to watch this team every game get beat up in the paint, I mean there guards were posting against our center and scoring on him with beautiful post moves, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone, we need to get some crisp ball movement and cutting and stop all this hero ball crap, even though Ian is pretty awesome at it lol.
This is ALL on Hubert. He put this mess together and can’t coach it. We are going to miss the tourney 2/4 years. Unacceptable at UNC. Bubba should fire him now.
RJ selfishness is the problem because Ian was hot down the straight and RJ wants to put everything on his shoulders and turns the ball over twice, to me that’s the problem, Hubert giving RJ way too much green light
I’m starting to think RJ just can’t play with other guards. First the Caleb Love issues. Then there seemed to be issues passing to Trimble early in the season when he was hot. Now RJ is always trying to be the hero after Ian gets us back in the game, but usually misses or turns it over. I hope my eyes are deceiving me.
Nope it’s not he can’t score without help and Bacot setting screens for him allow him to get a lot more easy shots but he can’t create a good look on his own and he can’t even go by big guys
@@garyhenderson3353 exactly and it’s starting to be just like the 22-23 season . we had all the talent but the coach refuse to make the necessary adjustments
Let me just say this: This is feeling like the Matt Doherty years. Most of the players does not know what is really going on out there. There are so many things that disturb me about this team. Cade looks lost. Lubin makes several errors at the wrong time. Withers is totally out of sync. Washington is playing soft. EC acts like he doesn't care and RJ is just throwing his shot up. Captain Jack was balling and Powell is playing hard. I wish Seth was playing. The coaching staff doesn't even talk to one another. Needless to say HD has bit more than he can chew. He will step down, at least he needs to. The next coach does not necessarily need to be an alum. And I feel there will be a total exodus with the team. This is not UNC basketball.
Hubert told us EC had made huge improvements. At this point it seems like Hubert either sees a world no one else does or just lies right to our faces, sometimes for no reason. How many times has he said something & we see exactly the opposite on the floor? Is he just playing some kind of game?
My question to the Rams Club is how much longer they're going to keep playing with Hubert Davis, as HC. Clearly he's not cut out for this role, and we've now gotten a good sample size of what UNC will be, under his tutelage. While he may not have, pound for pound, elite talent at every position, he still has enough that they should've won this game. With Davis, UNC will be feast or famine. Sure he's gotten them to the title, but I think adrenaline and a roster of veterans covered his messes. Same with last year. He's not a good enough head coach. Would be a real shame to see a crown jewel program fall into obscurity. As if it's not already hard enough to sustain, in the NIL era. Meanwhile Duke, UK, Kansas, UConn and other blue bloods are relatively okay. Finally, the recruiting is a seriously punishable offense. Hubert's missed on almost every single opportunity: transfer and recruit. That's crazy, considering that this is the Jordan flagship brand - plenty of money to spend, too. Seriously, wtf is going on with UNC?
Handing over a Blue Blood program to a first time head coach is like gifting a Rolls Royce to a 15 year old with a driver's permit. I gave HD the benefit of the doubt because he'd played for Coach SMith, learned under Coach Williams and played for Don Nelson, Pat Riley, and Rick Carlisle. But him doing away with the systems that Coach SMith put into place (only one of the smartest to ever hold a clipboard) seems silly. Running an NBA system with non pro's is a recipe for disaster. Reminds me when all those Phil Jackson disciples tried to run triangle offense without Mike or Kobe. Anyway, shooting guards don't seem to make great head coaches. I think Derrick Phelps should've been on this staff in some capacity. I think losing these games may be good in the long run because the program and the fans will actually have to face the reality that has unfolded in Chapel Hill and nationally.
I agree - well said. Listen to what Marc Campbell said with Issac after Alabama. Playing NBA requires an all-in holistic change, from pro-level assistant coaches, high level nutrition, carefully focused recruiting (with strong NIL support), etc. It can be done - I mean is Alabama can do it... but it can't be half done.
Hurbert Davis if you hear me or read my text, please start planning James Brown! I think the freshman will give you more than Washington! I've seen good positive energy when he's in the game and he's not afraid! Washington is soft!!!!
I agree but man we just don’t have the talent to compete on an elite level. Our freshmen need time to grow and understand the college system. Our big men are trash and i haven’t a clue what Hubert is doing😂
@Crimson-Ox the 2018-2019 team had no dominant bigs. Brooks started as freshmen and was terrible. Roy still managed to win the conference and a number 1 seed
@ May was solid and brooks could get you a basket. Kenny Williams was a lock down defender just like leaky and then you had my boy Kobe White sometimes hitting 35 points a game. We don’t have that now. We look like a jr high team out there. Nobody can score but Ian
All points to coaching. Our current team has more talent than that team. Cadeau was a 5 star, Ian, and Drake was as well. Plus, having a 1st team all american returning. Roy would have maybe 2 or 3 losses with this team.
Sounds like they put the ball in all the wrong hands. Leubin, withers do not need the ball in critical minutes. We learned that last year. Leaky black wasnt the nest shooter but he knew it. He thought of the team so he always put the ball in the shooters hands.
Amazing, you put up a cast not long ago saying there will be no negative talk about HD. fast forward about a week and you finally see what we are seeing. HD cannot coach. It shows their spacing is awful, no big is willing to fight for a rebound, bigs letting thin centers just dunk on them with no resistance. You want to know the biggest blunder? He is NOT letting James Brown play. The one guy that has the energy, passion and can change a game when he is in. He may foul but heck he tries and plays! This Claude guy is the biggest mistake and even gets more time than Brown. Would not be surprised that Brown transfers. I just see a MATT D situation unfolding all over again.. I want to give them a pass and hope HD will get over his " We will not be a transaction school" mentality and gets with the NIL and buy big men . You can have all the morals in the world but the NCAA has thrown a major curve ball and UNC needs to compete in the market and match or exceed others offers. I said from the jump when HD said that statement we would have no bigs that will allow the guards to operate.. The guards are worn out and other teams read this and lock them down cause they know there is no big UNC has to worry about. Listen I am a long long time UNC fan and have had inside connections. It pains me to say it but HD needs to go if he is going to be stubborn with NIL and not willing to adapt.
I’ve been saying it since his first year even with us making the championship game because they played like trash most of that season and just got hot after they beat Duke at the end of the season but they were about to miss the tournament that year also
A starting lineup I’d really like to see, that has enough size and talent to compete with most teams is Cadeau, Trimble, Jackson, Powell, and Washington and just see how they do, they can’t do much worse than the other starting lineups have done, I’d like to just see if they would have better chemistry offensively and defensively, and let them press every fourth possession or so to try to keep the opponent out of rhythm, it just seems like teams get such easy open looks against us and we seem to work so hard just to get a shot off when every player is under sized.
Glad to see improvement on respectful comments. I found it very dissappointing in the post game live chat to see one guy in particular repeatedly personally insulting other tarheel fans. That's just not acceptable. We often comment on what Coach Smith has said, so insulting fans should consider what he would think of such behavior?
This is horrible ball playing from great players. Wonder if they are trying to set Hubert up for his walking papers so we can get a better head coach. EC has great talent but not the maturity yet. He’s good at getting to the rim. Wish he would drive more and stop the bad passes.
When you don't have a post threat it's hard to play with the best teams. These guys aren't talented enough to be on the court for Carolina. Coach K couldn't get this mess to the tournament. This is worst frontcourt ever in history of Carolina basketball 🏀 . How can anyone win without a big man? Plus, the coaching is mediocre at best. Wes Miller to the rescue next season!
after watching a number of games,l’ve come to the conclusion that the current squad is a decent team not a great one,it’s going to be a roller coaster season,they just don’t have a consistent interior source of scoring or rebounding and the defense at times is lacking,it would be a real accomplishment if this team makes March Madness 🤔
I know it's a UNC tradition to play through upper classmen but save R.J. and your season Hubert, NBA style iso and old fashion pick and role. Ian Jackson, Drake Powell, or Seth and Vin Allen Luben screening and diving. Run it in the ground. This is your best option.
Unc needs to watch how West Virginia runs an offense , they looked great against Kansas , that’s good basketball I cringe watching unc play it’s so ugly
Soon as you see Carolina beat up on a team like Campbell that they supposed to and you love to get excited about beating Campbell and teams like that and claim to say Carolina is back playing good which they haven’t been only against sorry teams. This is what happens all the timewhen they play quality competition. and you love to talk about the other teams, not playing anybody in their wins, but they seems to still beat Carolina so who they played don’t really matter when it comes to Carolina usually you hate on freshman and they too young and can’t get the job done. Now you trying to rely on one won with him to have the ball if you didn’t have one you’ll be talking about RJ. Quit trying to use the excuse about tremble being hurt. They had players hurt too. you act like other teams do not play without a player. They need to an injury. The other team can use the same excuse that you like to. If we had this player we might’ve won. Powell has not really been doing anything, but you’re gonna find a way to hype his plate up. It was OK against Louisville. Jackson has been playing good.🤦🏽♂️🤔🤦🏽♂️🤔🤦🏽♂️
3/6 times unc is not gonna make the tournament… this is not unc basketball , any success Hubert had was from Roy’s players. This team is actually so bad and with rj Elliot Seth and 2 5 star freshmen no way they should suck this badly
Don't start complaining about the coach he isn't out there playing the players do what there are told it would t be problem the season is long not over yet more room for improvement they will get better as the season go on
I have followed Carolina basketball since 1965 when I first attended UNC. I have never seen a team perform so poorly as this team even though they have some good talent on this team. They are the most inconsistent shooting team I have ever seen at UNC. The best players are several freshmen but we do not have a strong big man in the middle and our defense is often letting us down. My bet is that when the season is over, the good freshmen will transfer away from the team.
This team looks lost on the court and play as though they think of themselves as mediocre at best. I blame the coaches for not inspiring the players to see themselves as champions and play like it. I believe we have the talent. That's what makes this situation unacceptable.
I can see the promise in EC, but it’s looking like he needed another year in high school. We thought he would be doing double digit assists in year one. Hope he breaks this slump soon.
Fuck that shit it’s 2025 dude plays for NORTH CAROLINA and literally can’t hit anything besides contact layups which are impressive and has good court vision but way too small to not be able to shoot , I’m glad we got big guards that can shoot coming in next year, liability on defense and offensive at this point
In a nutshell, the team is too small and does not shoot well on a consistent basis. Powell and Jackson are great recruits but Hubert has a problem recruiting pure shooters and bigs. You would think that a guy who was a shooter would be better at identifying shooters to recruit, it seems that every team we play is loaded with pure gunslingers except us. As far as recruiting bigs Hubert needs to break his habit of not promising a starting position, if he finds a true dominant big then he needs to promise a starting spot if that’s what it takes.
Hubert is repeating the same mantra "learn from it, grow from it". Problem is, there is no learning or growing happening. I'm tired of this season and January just barely started.
I’m afraid this is another lost and wasted season, there’s allot of talent at the guard positions but because this offense is designed to play 4 or five out and the bigs haven’t been able to make 3s so the entire offense just implodes, then you take that the entire team is undersized except Ian and Drake, so the little guys have trouble getting off shots against guys who are 4-5 inches taller than they are. Then there’s no player movement and cutting, the ball doesn’t move much then comes the forced ugly shot that they are to small to rebound that the opponent gets and gets fast break points against us. Really hard to watch a Unc team that isn’t dominant in the paint, Roy’s teams didn’t have to make 3s, if they missed them then they rebounded it and still scored about half the time, now they miss them and it ends up a fast break the other way. I gave Hubert’s vision a honest shot but boy I miss Roy. I have noticed every one of Wes Millers team’s have looked good at allot worse jobs than Unc, just saying.
Its a real challenge. Small guards that dont shoot consistently and dont switch well enough or keep their defender in front of them. No big man to anchor the paint with scoring and defense. This team is what we see..... a small guard team with no big.
This game has a James Madison FBall game feel to it. But you have to ask yourself, would this have happened if not for all the BIGs missed due to the SEC buying them?
I'd say the whole basketball season resembles the loss to JMU. That game was beyond embarrassing and beyond disappointing. I don't even know if there's a word for it.
This roster has no low post presence, no leadership, no sense of urgency when the game matters, have an coach that can’t see that what’s working isn’t and needs to be changed or maybe this roster is what it is built for the NIT
Time for Hubert to go and RJ Davis shouldn't have come back he's hurting our team .he shoots to much and misses I'm done I see no changes same old crap
So let me get this straight Unc. STATE, MIAMI HAS MADE THE FINAL 4 IN THE LAST 4 YEARS BUT THE GREAT DUKE HASNT WITH ALL THE 5 STARS THEY GET EVERY YEAR. But state and Unc are in trouble. Make that make sense.
Next year UNC will be lucky if they win 10 games. No top recruits or top transfers will come . They see how he plays his freshman and coaches. Need Brad Stevens
There is so much I want to comment, but don't really want to write a complete dissertation. Bottom line is that this team is just poorly constructed. The lack of a serviceable big to give you SOMETHING is killing this team. That lack of post presence is exacerbated by our small front court. With small guards that can't keep their guy in front, and no rim protection, defense is going to be a serious issue. With no post scoring threat on either post entry or lobs, our small guards are forced to make tough shots from outside or beat their guy only to be met at the rim with the defense's center. NONE of this is working in our favor. I don't see any line up we can put on the floor that doesn't give up something, fix one issue only to cause another. In addition to all that, it seems they are just poorly coached. The offense has no real identity. Issues that have been evident all year are not improving. Unfortunately, Davis has to own all of this. Outside of the late run in '22 and landing Harrison Ingram and Cormac Ryan (who carried the team last year), Davis hasn't given us much reason to think he can succeed as HC. I just don't know how much longer he gets to figure it out.
RJ played bad all year and once he had a good game against basically a D2 school you started talking like he was back instead of being honest and saying RJ just isn’t good this season and nobody cares that you play well against schools like Campbell
Everyone want to blame the coach. When y’all need to worried about RJ and how the guards got beat all night back door and getting killed at the 3pt land. We have no bigs at all, we ain’t consistent, always fighting to come back , late starts , lazy on defense. That has nothing to do with the coach. Now the rotation is trash and I blame that on the coach. But the players got to go out and play. Rj ain’t doing nothing , Elliot is a turnover machine , temple is injury, he want let Jackson close games , pj is soft , no shoots. Come on coach your recruitment is trash too.
Why Didn't UNC Tar Heels' Ian Jackson Get the Ball in the Most CRITICAL Offensive Moments? BECAUSE THIS TEAM IS ALL ABOUT RJ DAVIS. That is why I was upset when RJ came back while everyone else was celebrating like we would win a title.
You can't coach poor leaders. Their veterans are horrible leaders also EC doesn't have a vet that plays that can help him. Roy always had those kinds of players. They blame love but I told people was a good kid but he's passive aggressive. He can score but nothing else Rj benefitted because of Ryan taking slack off of him on defense. He's on a island now. The front court just has role players. These are guys that come in and just give the starters a break. People dogged Hubert for not playing Washington. This is why . He can't play but you don't remember calling him a bad coach for not playing him .
They don’t do anything good besides the 2 freshmen and Seth this team is complete dog shit , they got to change something unc basketball is not what it once was
I never dreamed I would see a Unc team this small and finesse in my lifetime. I really feel bad for Roy having to watch this team every game get beat up in the paint, I mean there guards were posting against our center and scoring on him with beautiful post moves, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone, we need to get some crisp ball movement and cutting and stop all this hero ball crap, even though Ian is pretty awesome at it lol.
This is ALL on Hubert. He put this mess together and can’t coach it. We are going to miss the tourney 2/4 years. Unacceptable at UNC. Bubba should fire him now.
3 times because we weren’t making the tourney before covid ended the season
Lmao At the end of the year Record Will Be 21- 11 or 20-12 That's the ticket to the big dance Move on
I'm glad we played a brutal schedule so people can see what we are NOT!
RJ selfishness is the problem because Ian was hot down the straight and RJ wants to put everything on his shoulders and turns the ball over twice, to me that’s the problem, Hubert giving RJ way too much green light
He and Cadeau should come off the bench when Trimble comes back.
I’m starting to think RJ just can’t play with other guards. First the Caleb Love issues. Then there seemed to be issues passing to Trimble early in the season when he was hot. Now RJ is always trying to be the hero after Ian gets us back in the game, but usually misses or turns it over. I hope my eyes are deceiving me.
Nope it’s not he can’t score without help and Bacot setting screens for him allow him to get a lot more easy shots but he can’t create a good look on his own and he can’t even go by big guys
Yeah he is definitely way too selfish a lot of times and just throws up a prayer, looking a lot like Caleb love this season
Hubert is not watching the same game as every tarheel fan is.The post game interview shows it
@@garyhenderson3353 exactly and it’s starting to be just like the 22-23 season . we had all the talent but the coach refuse to make the necessary adjustments
@@nolimitshay4079 a lot of that was just some minor tweaking that was needed. Like Putting Nance on the second unit
I just love when HUBERT gets asked a question and sits there silently shaking his head for like 10 seconds before he says anything.
He is becoming Mack Brown 2.0 blinders on and no accountability
Man I literally said man he doesn't even have answers for questions man he looks lost man he's in over his Head @@jdheelfan
They don’t want a freshman to lead the team. He is the best scorer on the team. 😮😮😮
This is Huberts' problem. He's gotta own it. The guys doesn't look like they know how to even play basketball
Let me just say this: This is feeling like the Matt Doherty years. Most of the players does not know what is really going on out there. There are so many things that disturb me about this team. Cade looks lost. Lubin makes several errors at the wrong time. Withers is totally out of sync. Washington is playing soft. EC acts like he doesn't care and RJ is just throwing his shot up. Captain Jack was balling and Powell is playing hard. I wish Seth was playing. The coaching staff doesn't even talk to one another. Needless to say HD has bit more than he can chew.

They hyped up jwash too like he made a huge jump and was ready to be that guy … and yea he’s no where near that
Remember when he told us Pete Nance should be in the NBA?
My question to the Rams Club is how much longer they're going to keep playing with Hubert Davis, as HC.

That's the problem. Our offense has a one on one approach.
No system= no easy buckets.
Every buck is hard and we'll earned.
I agree but man we just don’t have the talent to compete on an elite level. Our freshmen need time to grow and understand the college system. Our big men are trash and i haven’t a clue what Hubert is doing😂

I’m gonna miss watching your shows. Checking out until major changes. Appreciate your work!
Ian Jackson is the best player on the floor offensively and it's obvious he's not featured. It's on Hubert Davis
RJ IS TRYING TO BRAKE THE SCORING RECORD TRUST THTS ALL ON HIS MIND
Let me guess, y’all still don’t think it’s Hubert fault? 😅 Maybe when they miss the tourney y’all will wake up
I’ve been saying it since his first year even with us making the championship game because they played like trash most of that season and just got hot after they beat Duke at the end of the season but they were about to miss the tournament that year also
A starting lineup I’d really like to see, that has enough size and talent to compete with most teams is Cadeau, Trimble, Jackson, Powell, and Washington and just see how they do, they can’t do much worse than the other starting lineups have done, I’d like to just see if they would have better chemistry offensively and defensively, and let them press every fourth possession or so to try to keep the opponent out of rhythm, it just seems like teams get such easy open looks against us and we seem to work so hard just to get a shot off when every player is under sized.
Jackson needs longer hair to make it easier for teammates to find him.
Glad to see improvement on respectful comments. I found it very dissappointing in the post game live chat to see one guy in particular repeatedly personally insulting other tarheel fans. That's just not acceptable. We often comment on what Coach Smith has said, so insulting fans should consider what he would think of such behavior?
Seth Trimble is the man! He didn’t come back for this, but he bleeds Tar Heel blue.
If Zayden High would have been able to play we would’ve won against Kansas, Michigan State, Florida, Louisville
😂
ZAYDEN is not coming back to UNC. Time to leave his name out of our mouths and just move on.
This is horrible ball playing from great players. Wonder if they are trying to set Hubert up for his walking papers so we can get a better head coach. EC has great talent but not the maturity yet. He’s good at getting to the rim. Wish he would drive more and stop the bad passes.

Coaching sucks... bottone line
THAWS TRUE DON'T WORRY THOSE MIGHTY WHITIES ALUMY WILL HAVE THAT BROTHER OUT AT END OF SEASON
I'm tired our go to guy is someone who shoots less than 40% from field and less than 30% from 3. In what basketball universe does this happen????
Can’t play RJ and Elliot together without a rim protector. We didn’t score and didn’t stop them after Cadeau came back in.
after watching a number of games,l’ve come to the conclusion that the current squad is a decent team not a great one,it’s going to be a roller coaster season,they just don’t have a consistent interior source of scoring or rebounding and the defense at times is lacking,it would be a real accomplishment if this team makes March Madness 🤔

I can see the promise in EC, but it’s looking like he needed another year in high school. We thought he would be doing double digit assists in year one. Hope he breaks this slump soon.
Fuck that shit it’s 2025 dude plays for NORTH CAROLINA and literally can’t hit anything besides contact layups which are impressive and has good court vision but way too small to not be able to shoot , I’m glad we got big guards that can shoot coming in next year, liability on defense and offensive at this point
In a nutshell, the team is too small and does not shoot well on a consistent basis. Powell and Jackson are great recruits but Hubert has a problem recruiting pure shooters and bigs. You would think that a guy who was a shooter would be better at identifying shooters to recruit, it seems that every team we play is loaded with pure gunslingers except us. As far as recruiting bigs Hubert needs to break his habit of not promising a starting position, if he finds a true dominant big then he needs to promise a starting spot if that’s what it takes.
He misses layups and also he is missing open players
Hubert is repeating the same mantra "learn from it, grow from it". Problem is, there is no learning or growing happening. I'm tired of this season and January just barely started.
I’m afraid this is another lost and wasted season, there’s allot of talent at the guard positions but because this offense is designed to play 4 or five out and the bigs haven’t been able to make 3s so the entire offense just implodes, then you take that the entire team is undersized except Ian and Drake, so the little guys have trouble getting off shots against guys who are 4-5 inches taller than they are. Then there’s no player movement and cutting, the ball doesn’t move much then comes the forced ugly shot that they are to small to rebound that the opponent gets and gets fast break points against us. Really hard to watch a Unc team that isn’t dominant in the paint, Roy’s teams didn’t have to make 3s, if they missed them then they rebounded it and still scored about half the time, now they miss them and it ends up a fast break the other way. I gave Hubert’s vision a honest shot but boy I miss Roy. I have noticed every one of Wes Millers team’s have looked good at allot worse jobs than Unc, just saying.
Its a real challenge. Small guards that dont shoot consistently and dont switch well enough or keep their defender in front of them. No big man to anchor the paint with scoring and defense. This team is what we see..... a small guard team with no big.
This game has a James Madison FBall game feel to it. But you have to ask yourself, would this have happened if not for all the BIGs missed due to the SEC buying them?
I'd say the whole basketball season resembles the loss to JMU. That game was beyond embarrassing and beyond disappointing. I don't even know if there's a word for it.
Lol stop unc been buying players for years now there losing the recruiting battle no one wants to go there.
Coach we should have gotten team is 10-1 ranked #16,and 12 years younger
This roster has no low post presence, no leadership, no sense of urgency when the game matters, have an coach that can’t see that what’s working isn’t and needs to be changed or maybe this roster is what it is built for the NIT
Time for Hubert to go and RJ Davis shouldn't have come back he's hurting our team .he shoots to much and misses I'm done I see no changes same old crap
It’s not on Hubert and UNC players have said that. So stop with saying he should be fired
What do you think they’re going to say?
So let me get this straight Unc. STATE, MIAMI HAS MADE THE FINAL 4 IN THE LAST 4 YEARS BUT THE GREAT DUKE HASNT WITH ALL THE 5 STARS THEY GET EVERY YEAR. But state and Unc are in trouble. Make that make sense.
Next year UNC will be lucky if they win 10 games. No top recruits or top transfers will come . They see how he plays his freshman and coaches. Need Brad Stevens
There is so much I want to comment, but don't really want to write a complete dissertation. Bottom line is that this team is just poorly constructed. The lack of a serviceable big to give you SOMETHING is killing this team. That lack of post presence is exacerbated by our small front court. With small guards that can't keep their guy in front, and no rim protection, defense is going to be a serious issue. With no post scoring threat on either post entry or lobs, our small guards are forced to make tough shots from outside or beat their guy only to be met at the rim with the defense's center. NONE of this is working in our favor. I don't see any line up we can put on the floor that doesn't give up something, fix one issue only to cause another.
In addition to all that, it seems they are just poorly coached. The offense has no real identity. Issues that have been evident all year are not improving. Unfortunately, Davis has to own all of this. Outside of the late run in '22 and landing Harrison Ingram and Cormac Ryan (who carried the team last year), Davis hasn't given us much reason to think he can succeed as HC. I just don't know how much longer he gets to figure it out.
RJ played bad all year and once he had a good game against basically a D2 school you started talking like he was back instead of being honest and saying RJ just isn’t good this season and nobody cares that you play well against schools like Campbell
Everyone want to blame the coach. When y’all need to worried about RJ and how the guards got beat all night back door and getting killed at the 3pt land. We have no bigs at all, we ain’t consistent, always fighting to come back , late starts , lazy on defense. That has nothing to do with the coach. Now the rotation is trash and I blame that on the coach. But the players got to go out and play. Rj ain’t doing nothing , Elliot is a turnover machine , temple is injury, he want let Jackson close games , pj is soft , no shoots. Come on coach your recruitment is trash too.
Coaching, Coaching, Coaching, Coaching, Coaching, Coaching….
Why don't you ask this to Hubert, 5star won't be coming to UNC as long as he's the coach.
He has no game plan and he said pre game he was happy where the team is how could he say that
Why Didn't UNC Tar Heels' Ian Jackson Get the Ball in the Most CRITICAL Offensive Moments? BECAUSE THIS TEAM IS ALL ABOUT RJ DAVIS. That is why I was upset when RJ came back while everyone else was celebrating like we would win a title.
I bet Chucky said RJ who
You can't coach poor leaders. Their veterans are horrible leaders also EC doesn't have a vet that plays that can help him. Roy always had those kinds of players. They blame love but I told people was a good kid but he's passive aggressive. He can score but nothing else
Rj benefitted because of Ryan taking slack off of him on defense. He's on a island now. The front court just has role players. These are guys that come in and just give the starters a break. People dogged Hubert for not playing Washington. This is why . He can't play but you don't remember calling him a bad coach for not playing him .
It's over for RJ now you know why no team wanted him
Huh?
Telling us what happened means nothing
They don't. Rotate well. With man to man help defence / they need to. Stop helping / they give teams too many wide open. Shots.
They don’t do anything good besides the 2 freshmen and Seth this team is complete dog shit , they got to change something unc basketball is not what it once was
All the Carolina players look slow, clumsy, can’t jump or shoot.
Fire Hubert davis and for goodness sake jalen Washington please transfer softest big man to ever come through Carolina
Thats Carolina culture we don’t respect/trust freshman.
The big men are mediocre.
Hubert is not a good coach or recruiter
