Frustrating loss for us tonight.

Obviously ESPN was trying to push the Love storyline but the real story of the game was Scheyer mismanaging the rotation and the offense.

Arizona's a physical team that packs the paint, but the offense was standing around so much and not doing much to get their defenders to move out of the lane.

No clue why Ryan Young got so many minutes over Sean Stewart, who would have countered some of Arizona's physicality. Likely would have made the difference. I suspect it has something to do with him struggling in practice.

Still, Scheyer is just starting his second year and will figure it out at some point. Our next game is against an also-physical Michigan State team, so I'm really interested to see how we run our offense and manage the rotation.

Caleb got that Dawg in HIm!

 

Forever a TarHeel!

Even though Love’s UNC story wasn’t the best ending he has cemented himself as a Tar Heel. Gave K his last L at home, Scheyer his first L at home, and most importantly an L in the Final Four matchup.

Caleb wrote “Tar Heel 4 Life” on the bottom of his shoes last night, that’s all class from a young kid who had his ups and downs at UNC.

Also happy for Coach Rob, he left UNC to take a job at Arizona a few years ago; so two former Tar Heels came away with a win last night.

The MSU game all of a sudden has become very important. Duke's got a tough non-con schedule this year; it softens up for a bit after the MSU game but there's also @Arkansas down the road which seems like it'll be a very tough matchup in it's own right. Hoping to see some progress and hopefully, Mark Mitchell will be at 100% for this game.

Absolutely, and MSU will be really desperate for a big-time win after their debacle on opening night.

We've also got that game against Baylor at MSG, so there are chances to pick up some good wins and see what this team is made of.

Mitchell really needs to learn to slow down a bit on offense, but as you said, I wonder if he's not quite playing at 100% health.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
