UNC vs. Wake Forest: Beyond the Box

Doc suggested that I rename this edition of BTB, “FTB,” as in, “Forget the Box.”  While this game did actually represent a moderate statistical improvement over the previous two games, it was a home game against an awful Wake Forest team, so a moderate statistical improvement probably is not what the Heels were looking for [...]

UNC 78 Wake Forest 64

Yeah it was ugly.

I am going to take this in two parts.

First, was the general effort. Roy Williams said in the postgame press conference the team may have relaxed a bit too much following the recent four game stretch which was rightly called the toughest portion of the schedule. And it showed. Early [...]

UNC-Wake Forest Game Thread

Going way back on this one to 1992. UNC got throttled out of the gate by Wake falling behind 32-10, trailing by 15 at halftime. The Heels were then down 62-42, 66-50 and 75-64 before rallying to win the game 80-78 when Brian Reese followed his own miss and hit a shot with one second [...]

#19 UNC vs Wake Forest

Where: Dean Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC When: Tuesday, February 15th, 8:00 PM TV: ACC Network Records: UNC 18-6, 8-2 ACC; Wake Forest 8-17, 1-9 ACC

First order of business: Blow the doors off Wake Forest in the first half, extend it to about 30 or so with about eight minutes left in the game.

February Outlook, Part II (and March, too)

What a chain of events has transpired for UNC in the first two weeks of February: Larry Drew left the team, won two road games at places typically not friendly to the Tar Heels, and nearly pulled off a win against Duke in Cameron. The general consensus is much more positive on this team than [...]

Luke Winn On UNC’s Assist Distribution

SI.com’s Luke Winn with a really interesting analysis of the assist distribution with Kendall Marshall versus Larry Drew.

After reviewing play-by-play sheets for all 23 UNC games, it was revealed that the bulk of his assists (27, or 32.9 percent) were to big man Tyler Zeller, while Dexter Strickland and Harrison Barnes were the next-highest [...]

UNC vs. Clemson: Beyond the Box

Well that was certainly ugly, but as the saying goes, an ugly win is about 10-times better than a pretty loss.  Actually, there is no such saying, I just made that up; but the logic still holds.  After producing four straight games (and wins) with an Offensive Efficiency north of 110.0, the Heels have now [...]

UNC 64 Clemson 62

Fox Sports South’s Andrew Jones tweeted this on Twitter just after the game:

UNC w/ just 7 assists, outrebounded by 11 and 2-14 from 3-point range, yet still wins on the road against a solid team.

Add to that shooting 37% from the floor and this was one of the uglier outings for the Heels [...]
