Auburn literally could've had 20+ fouls in that half. Hate playing teams like this. They picked up 5-6 quick ones then like always happens the refs start to get whistle shy not wanting to call a foul every possession and they start getting away with murder. The way they call the games encourages this type of play. If they keep fouling just keep calling it. 

Yeah, I noticed at Duke last night all three of their post players had two fouls in the first half. Start of 2nd Broome gets his 3rd on a reach and at the 8 minute mark, their PG has four! In the Kansas/Duke game, Kansas got something like four fouls in a row and their crowd started booing. Bilas said I know they don't want to keep getting these foul calls, so quit fouling. Oh how I wish we could've got some of that love in Maui. That has always been a difference between us and Duke. If you spend 50% of dead balls and other team's timeouts in the refs' ears, it obviously makes a difference in how the game is called. EC and RJ have been beat to death over the last three games and last night they quit. It is easy to say that they need to be tougher physically and mentally, but something has to change.

My only gripes with Hubert at this point is he waited way too long to appeal to the people with money about NIL backing, he needs to press way more with this depth, and he has to give James Brown some minutes. The kid is 6'10" and went toe to toe with Flagg in high school. I know he ended up dropping forty something spots in the rankings, but he is here now and seems to be our only big man with a motor.

UNC is struggling with Georgia Tech. That's just sad. GT hasn't been a threat in ages.

Tarheels in big trouble this season.   Very limited inside and if Davis stays cold they seriously lack scoring.  

[jayboogieman]

We start talking about how bad they look and the heels start going on a run

[LinvilleGorge]

I don't see Hubert surviving past this season.

I know it's early in the season, but this is the worst UNC team I've seen in a long time.

We unwittingly dodged such a massive bullet when we ran out of gas and let KU comeback in that championship game. If Hubert had a title under his belt he'd probably be untouchable for at least a couple more years. But he doesn't.

Did Cadeau think he was passing to a 15 ft tall guy?

Davis =

Hubert absolutely blew it by not securing a big man in the portal.

GT takes the lead

[jayboogieman]

Quite a few empty seats in the Dean Dome too.

[Shocker]

RJ missing free throws now?  Hahaha

[jayboogieman]

Carolina is lucky GT can't hit shots
