Seth Trimble The defense thwarted Deacon’s attack and allowed it too RJ Davis By spending time off the ball and attacking, scoring opportunities were created.The Heels were down 56-52 Hubert Davis We changed the lineup. Remember, Trimble also had a huge offensive rebound and putback with his seven minutes remaining (en route to his career-high 11 points). category.
3. Some of Davis’ three-point looks came after the ball first went inside. Armando Baco, he has four 20+ point games for the first time in his career (he finished with 21 on 7-for-11 shooting). Wake had Baccott down low and failed to defend both Davis (5-7 from 3 and 27 points) on the perimeter. Heels is much better at his three shots at home than he is on the street. With this one of him they hit 9 of his 24 from the arc.
4. A combination of injury and foul trouble gave Carolina a very unusual rotation in the first half. Pete Nance Approximately two minutes into the game and not returning to the game, Tar Heels became: Jalen WashingtonHowever, he accumulated three fouls in four minutes.
5. What you need Hubert Davis Use a very deep bench, including the first 11 minutes from the start Justin McCoy–He played excellent team defense with two nice blocked shots. The problem is the tar heel he reserves failed to score. Even with five different reserves winning the first half, the UNC bench was still outscored 20-7 in the first half.
6. In reality it was a crime of leaky black I kept Carolina close for the first 20 minutes. Black hit three 3-point shots, converting his old-school 3-point play to 14 points along the way. He set a career high with 18 points in a game.
7. RJ Davis It was the latest tar heel to surpass 1,000 career points. Davis is his 81st player in Carolina to accomplish this. Caleb Love When Armando Baco From the team of the year on that list. In college basketball, the team he has scored the most 1,000 points is the far-flung Tar Heels, with Villanova tied for second with his 70 points. Raymond Felton and Ty Lawson needed 84 games to reach 1,000 points. A Tar Heel record? Lenny Rosenbluth has done it in his incredible 40 games (and in his 75 games he’s reached 2,000 points, and he’s done it all without a 3-point shot) ).
8. it’s true Caleb Love He didn’t have his best night. But he made his two big defensive plays his. At the end of the first half he knocked out Appleby’s 1-1 stoppage and a lob leading to his 3-pointer on Davis in the second half. I also hit Clutch 3.・Point shoot in the second half. Of course, Tar Heel has to be more efficient than 3 turnovers, 4 turnovers he’s 15 to 3, 7 to 1.
9. Wake’s coach, Steve Forbes, seems like the closest thing Wake has to Skip Prosser since Skip Prosser. Deacon is well coached and most of the time does something effective out of timeouts.
10. Marcus Page welcomes visitors at the scorers table on Wednesday as he was in town. He was in the game with his ex-member, wife Taylor. Simply put, he is one of the best tar heels of the century on and off the court.
11. No further effects. Wake had her 15 turnovers and Carolina scored her 32 points from those mistakes. Second On a night when her chance offense wasn’t much, Deacon’s efficient turnovers were a big part of the game, even on halfcourt.
