Well said. I can’t understand how HD couldn’t lock up a starting caliber big. Didn’t need to be a top 10, top 20, etc big but a competent C to rebound and alter shots. How he thought going into the season without a banded C/PF is mind boggling. Duplicated talent at 1-3 and zilch at 4/5. Awful team building. 

Options to sign a big have never been better.  To miss and sign Cade Tyson as your top guy reeks of lazy and incompetence.  Just IMHO

Cade was such a bad portal signing. I heard he got $600k….that could have went towards a legit big.

We've been trying to find another Brady Manek ever since. Hubert is obsessed with having a three point shooter at the 4 spot.

I gotta give Hubert Davis credit for one thing. He's achieved what I thought was impossible for me. He's made Tar Heel basketball unwatchable. I'm just over watching our opponents run actual offense while our offense is one guy dribbling the leather off the ball while everyone else just stands around and then we just have to jack up a bad shot at the end of the shot clock on the off chance that we don't turn it over in the meantime.

This has to be the end of Davis's run. I imagine they will give him the chance to step down at the end of the year.

If he ever loved Carolina basketball he has to realize he ain't it. It just keeps getting worse. We look like an unorganized intramural team out there. No semblance of coaching or running an actual system. Just guys out there winging it the best they can.

Sounds like Davis got together with Charles Lee of the Hornets. The few Hornets games I watched earlier this season were similar. Is UNC just jacking up bad 3s? I ask because that's what Lee's "system" is.

When we don't turn it over, yes. We try pretty hard to just turn it over for uncontested breakaway dunks though and we're pretty good at it.

That's Hornets' basketball. Oof. 53-27 Duke.

Yeah, Davis' seat has to be warm. If they repeat this performance at home, he'll probably be fired.

Time for Hubert to go
