Ingram might be playing like your best player at the moment.

Watch the ACC get 2 teams in the Final Four again after getting crapped on all year.

Ryan was our best player tonight. We're fortunate that we have four guys who can be our best player on any given night and Cadeau isn't far off from making it five.

When this team commits to D'ing up they can beat anyone. During our rough stretch the biggest difference was defensive lapses. D the fug up and we have a chance

Everything that needed to happen for Carolina happened last night.

They win the ACC Tourney and they’ll be a one seed playing in Charlotte on the opening weekend of the NCAA Tourney.

Winning the ACC tournament will be a challenge. UNC only seems to get up for the big matchups. I hope they are focused.

The crazy part is that our two best players were basically no shows.

RJ wasn't a no show, they literally had the game plan to take him out of the equation. There were several plays that he had three or more players jumping at him. Instead of forcing it like we hated Caleb for doing the last two years, he trusted his teammates. He still scored some timely buckets. Mando still had 9 and 8 which again I am glad UNC didn't stall the offense forcing him the ball. Unlike last year, they kept it moving around the perimeter to get good shots. It was a great team win and as a fan I have ultimate confidence that it is a team instead of a bunch of individuals like it has been.

I meant no shows in terms of production vs. their average. Yeah, duke keyed hard on those guys and other guys (Ryan in particular) made them pay for it.

It's true. College basketball popularity has fallen off so hard from when I was growing up in the '80s and '90s. College basketball RAN poo in NC back then. We would literally watch the ACC tournament IN CLASS. Carolina vs. duke days might as well have been a national holiday.

Anyone wondering if the ESPN program head is a Duke grad…

At 9:45 only 30 mins from Duke losing in the first round there is NOTHING on the ESPN front page mentioned


Nothing

The ESPN alert I got today about duke was about how Cooper Flagg is such a great shot blocker. lol

    • the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.
    • I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
    • There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
