lol man... it was literally the same play as the end of Duke/Clemson. I wonder if all the backlash after that caused the refs to hesitate on blowing it at the end of GT/UNC.

Thats a great point and a fair question. 
 

still, refs call poo one week and don’t call it the next. Can not put the game in the refs hands and UNC did that.

True on the drives. Tough to say what the worst call was.

The missed travel allowed hot/lucky GT to bank in a three. So certainly a big missed call. But that’s just how it is sometimes. They made their shots. We didn’t.  So while the missed foul at the end of the game certainly was huge and we likely win if it was called, we can’t say we deserved to win with how we played. 

At the end of the day, I think what all fans want is some damn consistency from the refs. You see a crazy amount of variance not just game to game but within a single game itself. How are the players supposed to know how aggressively they can defend?  Why are hand checks called and then the next play a defender allowed to body a driver putting up a layup without a call? I see this every single game for both teams  it’s not just a UNC thing.

For example, I think at least two or three of the fouls against Cadeau were BS. He’s got to be more disciplined with reaching in. His last two were of that variety, one when a GT guard was driving the basket and was legit a foul as he reached around the back not just at the ball, and the other way out on the perimeter. That latter one I think was BS. May have been a letter of the law hand check, but when the refs are allowing defenders to bump dribblers and impede their path, I think it’s ridiculous to call this sort of thing in the interest of “freedom of movement.” I don’t recall all three of the other fouls exactly, but they were in the paint after getting backed down and I think he did a really good job of just keeping his hands straight up to contest the shot. A lot is being made of his body language afterward and their certainly is a pattern of foul trouble so maybe I’m wrong and he is doing something that makes the refs call these sorts of fouls, but I honestly feel for the kid because this is not the first game I’ve walked away from thinking WTF is he supposed to do on plays like this and that he hasn’t been fouling on them. 

The way Cadeau was officiated in that game was baffling. Not just that he picked up 5 fouls in the span of about 10 minutes in the second half but the non-calls. He got hammered with no call on a couple of drives and was blatantly pushed off on twice on drives that even had the announcers saying... like damn man, that's a foul. lol

duke obviously came in focused on taking RJ Davis out of the game and they've succeeded in that, but the heavy focus on RJ isn't helping them. They're giving up too many easy opportunities elsewhere. Will be interesting to see if they adjust after halftime or if they're just willing to lose as long as it's not RJ they beats them.

Yeah they definitely have…Heels are way more than just RJ.  The Heels played a really strong half and Duke is down only 10.  Will be a tough second half

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
