Up Next: North Carolina

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Don't think I've seen this posted yet. Pretty good read from the UNC beat writer, Adam Lucas.

Nice article. Ol' Roy has a nice little recruiting tactic there. However, the "home" games would seem only to apply to the guys who aren't 1st round draft picks early in their careers. Don't most UNC recruits think that they are one-and-done's?

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

I am tired of people talking about how UNC shouldn't have scheduled a game like this, why? It proves a point that the big boys of college basketball aren't as dominant and deserving of all the at large bids as the talking heads at ESPN think.

On a side note I enjoyed watching Hubert Davis go down in defeat Saturday to the Panthers, in 2010 while still working for ESPN he bad mouthed us as much as he could.

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

I know I can watch the replay on ESPN3, but does anyone know if the full game will be added to YouTube? I'd like to be able to go back and watch it after it in the future and it will get taken down from ESPN3 in a couple weeks.
Or, maybe a better question, does anyone know how to download from ESPN3? Is that even possible?

Pretty awesome that the Koch family has been part of such an amazing run. All 3 sons taking down #1s. Amazing.

Any more kids in that family?

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Just so proud of the team for believing in themselves and Coach Jake's system. We played far from a perfect game. All of our past huge victories have come after jumping out ahead and holding on, this one we were down 16 in the second half! But they stuck with it, played with intensity and unselfishness and put it together. It was like North Carolina felt like they took a few jabs from us then landed some big blows and thought it was over. We kept jabbing back and when we were suddenly tied with 10 to go, they couldn't figure how to land the finishing blow and we just kept jabbing and jabbing until they were done. Not one big thing, but a whole team thing.

Wes played a great game facilitating, scoring, bringing the emotion.
Ted put together probably the best 0 point performance in UNI history.
Jeremy keys so much on defense, his absence the last 8 minutes of the first half is what allowed that lead to grow.

but the one I want to single out is Bohannon. This is Matt's team. He was the one calling the shots on the floor, keeping Wes' energy contained and focused (several times pulling back the reins as the game wound down with us leading and keeping Wes from rushing something). It was Matt who called the timeout when Wes was trapped and sealed off hard on the rebound when we were up 3 with a minute to go to force the over the back call then calmly sank both FTs to put us up 5. The anguish on his face when he was called for the foul on the scrum with 30 seconds left but just getting away from the situation...

Now, let's not let this be the only thing we look back fondly on this year....

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Love the Koch family. My only problem was the the light blue dress shirt Jake Koch was wearing at the game. Has to be great having him and Moran giving advice on the bench. I had lots of memories of Moran when the guys were diving for the loose balls.

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

İ watched the replay as well. We played far from a perfect game. Ted Friedman had two hustle plays in the second half. One was under our basket and led to a Jeremy Morgan 3 pointer. The other was the scrum at half court. He also changed the ae woth his defense.

That wasn't a scrum. That was a ruck. #petpeeve

Post "like"

All excellent insights. As I said above, Bo is showing his senior status.

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Wes picked a good time to have a great game: 21 pts (9/15), 8 asts, 3 rebs, 2 stls

If I recall from Rima's OPR interview with Colin McDonough last week, there were NBA scouts from 5 or more teams in attendance on Saturday. If Wes continues to put up good stats this season, I feel like his athleticism would give him an outside shot at a spot in The Association. Thoughts?

Height. Would probably get some undrafted interest but perhaps that's what you're saying.

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Paul Jesperson is the only senior that has a chance at getting a look. He's long, a plus shooter, a plus defender, and scouts will like that he played/started in the ACC.

Wes is just too short and doesn't handle the ball well enough to play point guard at that level. He could have a very nice career in Europe if he chooses to.
