doesnt look like he will cost them the game.






















too bad.

[dkst0426]

No, but carolina is doing a fine job of shooting themselves in the foot.

[Pookie]

uh oh

[dkst0426]

So close on that buzzer-beater heave.

Overtime.

[Lee Corso]

That was a pee wee division game. God damn both teams suck.

[eddiehaskell]

wow...the holes were lucky to escape. bullock misses one of those 3s and ohio is sending them home. pretty amazing considering ohio had absolutely no inside game...and when they did get a look inside, the fear of getting rejected destroyed it.

[dkst0426]

Why, when feeding Zeller inside was money for them tonight, did they try to match OU's ball movement (which, by the way, was damned impressive) around the perimeter?

[eddiehaskell]

shat...unc +28 on the boards

ohio was basically a team of guards (one contributing player over 6'5!)

unc sucks without marshall. barnes was a no-show. another showing like this and his draft stock takes a dive.

We'll take him next year.

Totally different team without Marshall. Elite 8 is lucky all things considered.

you can certainly have him if he plays like this without an elite pg setting him up (reminded me of LDIII days). he showed no ability to create quality offense (against much smaller opponents) and no desire to lead his team. 5 turnovers didn't help either.

unc is lucky, but hell, it's not like they were playing anything close to a good team.

Ya know what? You're probably right. Wouldn't be shocked at all if Prince Harry returned. So much for building that "brand" at unx. Cost himself MILLIONS by coming back. Thanks a lot , Roy. Only way he gets his stock back to a place worthy of the hype is to come back and go ape-shet. Otherwise , depending on who comes out , he's late Top 10...maybe a bit worse. McAdoo looks like the better prospect. Seriously. Wonder if Roy will fuk him too? Agree about Marshall. They ain't winning ANYTHING without him runnin' the show.

You act as though Rivers' stock didn't drop significantly this year.

You act as though the Plumlees' stock didn't drop significantly this year.

[eddiehaskell]

rivers is a freshman and i wouldn't be surprised if he is drafted ahead of barnes (who was supposedly improving his draft stock).

the plumlees were never hyped as much as barnes and none were the #1 ranked high school prospects.

Barnes and Rivers were both ranked #1. If Barnes is drafted ahead of Rivers that means Roy wins right?

I don't have the numbers but , if anything , AR's stock ROSE the latter part of the season. Don't get me wrong. If I'm mistaken , I'm mistaken. Yeah , it happens once in a great while. But the "eye-test" suggests the opposite. His play stood out on a team where everybody else , basically , closed up shop. I'd really like to see something proving that AR's stock has FALLEN since the beginning of the year. I'll leave that to you. You brought it up.

Excuse me , which Plumlee was the number one ranked recruit in the country outta high school? Which one is black? ( Yeah , it counts. The NBA ain't exactly a wellspring of caucasian big men! ) Which one was pre-season first team All-American PRIOR to playing a SECOND of college basketball? Which one inspired one of the most hyped recruiting battles of the last 10 years? Which one skyped his announcement? Which one was gonna build his world-wide "brand" by dominating throughout his collegiate career? Pert , honestly. Go back to the kiddie table. The adults are talking.

Rivers was undoubtedly the #1 ranked player. From what I've seen, he's now on the bubble for lotto pick. A lot of concerns about his teamwork, plus he got passed by basically every Calipari kid.

[pertsix]

Dude. Plumlees were projected to be first round picks. Good luck if they even make it top of the second round.


They lost to freaking lehigh. LEHIGH

Too late. Roy's already lost. HB should be in the league by now. He ain't because his coach is a self-centered betch. Had Roy pushed 'im to go last season ( Ya know...like Deano used to do with his best pro prospects? ) Barnes would've been the draft selection that he no longer is and , possibly , never will be. Geez Louise holes , 'fess up. Don't change the subject. Barnes cost himself millions and there's one person responsible. At least sack up and say so. Roy's an azz and because he's in that unx "bubble" he gets a pass for self-serving actions that , say , Coach K would get killed for. K tells 'em to go and does everything possible to facilitate that. ROY , otoh , doesn't. Quite the opposite...

Gotta give ole’ Roy Williams credit. He has assembled quite the litter of talent in Chapel Hill. Best of all for him, he has seen most of these players stick around for more than a year, which isn’t the norm in this day and age. Everyone thought he had a one-and-done guy in SF Harrison Barnes (Draft Express #6), but the kid from Ames, Iowa bucked the trend, and stayed in school despite knowing he could possibly go #1 overall. Had Barnes been available, GM Chris Grant and Head Coach Byron Scott would have had a very interesting choice on their hands between Barnes and Kyrie Irving.

It turned out great for the Cavs and not so great for Barnes. While he is one of the best scorers in the country and has the size and body to be a natural NBA three, question marks surround his game that you weren’t hearing at this time last year. Does he settle too often for long jumpers? Why doesn’t he take the ball to the hole more? Can he handle the defensive rigors of the NBA (Roy’s team is not exactly know for its D)? However, Roy Williams, like his mentor Dean Smith, has been a noted star-killer. Ask Paul Pierce.

Gonna add this to the "Roy's A Cunt" thread too. Lollers!

why don't we give rivers another year (still undecided)? unlike barnes, rivers is somewhat constrained by being his teams only offensive attack. rivers did show the desire to step up in big games which is more than i can say for barnes.
