Dan Hurley is really getting some humble pie shoved down his throat this year. Good to see. He's always seemed like a dick but after back to back championships and an absolutely dominant run last year it looked like he was gonna take over college basketball. 

 

Probably should have taken the money from la

Lubin has been better lately but these teams aren’t very good.  Need to beat Duke at home

Four in a row. I'll take it. Better to be beating not very good teams than losing to not very good teams.

I mean, let's be real. We ain't competing for a championship this year so I'll just enjoy the wins and hope we keep improving. If Powell and Jackson come back next year could be interesting. If not, then it'll be another NIL/portal era crapshoot.

Oh fug. We beat four bad teams in a row and we do this...

Hubert is now signed through 2030. I sincerely hope this works out and he becomes a great coach but the guy's seat should've been warming up. An extension during a bad season after a disappointing finish last year is just completely unwarranted at this point.

*Edited to clarify that it was actually signed back in December, we have just had such a disappointing season that we had to wait until we could string together a few Ws for them to feel comfortably announcing it to the public. Oh wee mayne...

Specifically, Davis and athletic director Bubba Cunningham signed it on Dec. 4, the same day as UNC’s 15-point home loss to Alabama.

Seems UNC wants to do everything possible to make the tourney now after nearly throwing away the season. They've had a nice win streak going against lesser teams.

[LinvilleGorge]

Of course duke can't miss tonight and if they do they get sent to the FT line where they also can't miss. LOL

[LinvilleGorge]

That is fuging insane. They couldn't shoot any better if we left the court. Hell, they'd probably have less points because they couldn't go to the FT line. Well, it is duke so the refs would probably call fouls on air anyway. LOL

[LinvilleGorge]

Despite everything going Duke's way (except for Flagg picking up three idiotic fouls) it's a one point game at half.

Only because Davis started to go off.

That what he's usually done up until this year. The dude can score.

Davis is a great college player but I don't think he has the size to be an NBA player. That said, I also wouldn't be surprised to see him get at least one NBA contract as a 3 and D guy coming off the bench because the NBA always wants scoring.
