John never ages. LOL
the couple of times i've watched UNC this year, there was very little off-ball movement. No nasty screens to free guys up. About the only thing they do these days is set a ball screen at the top of the key. Then it's usually a little drive and pop, or a kick out to a shooter who's hopefully open. That's the whole office as best as I can see. It doesn't manipulate or attack a defense at all.
People say this same stuff every year but we all know it doesn’t matter until the conference season starts. If a team is clicking in late February-Early March, they’re good. 10 games in means absolutely nothing.
They don't move without the ball. Manek was great at moving without the ball. The offense lacks motion, defense doesn't force turnovers.
Pete Nance is goofy and soft too
Carolina is playing soft as drug store cotton!!!!!
Love them but they are soft
First, It can not be understated how important Manek was to this team last year. Forget about how well he shot the ball, moved without the ball, or spaced the floor. He was the one who called out how they were playing. He seemed to be the one who stepped up to be the leader. Many said it was Bacot, some said Love, but I feel as though this team went as Manek went. When he played well, they were very good. It gave everyone else the opportunity to shine. They don't have that right now.
Second, you guys nailed it. Pro-style offense with no pros, and Roy had the cache to sit whomever he wanted while Davis is still earning it. Anyone who is being objective can see that there are no pros on this roster. RJ has the heart, but likely too small and isn't quick enough to be an NBA guard. Love isn't as athletic as people make him out to be and makes terrible decisions. Bacot isn't big enough for the post or adept enough away from the basket. He is a bit in no-man's land. Honestly, Black may be the only one who could find his way onto a roster as a defensive stopper. As for Davis, he got a lot of praise for sitting guys in this game, but it looked to me that it had more to do with foul trouble. He keeps bragging that he has a deep bench. Well, it is about time we find out.
The accountability from the top
To fix a problem the guy at the top has to acknowledge the problems
This is from a bad loss

There's major chemistry issues on this team I fear. We don't have Manek's presence in the locker room, and watching body language there's some friction with Love. I trust Hubert can get it sorted out and hope he will. I love Caleb and thank him from the bottom of my heart for burying Coach K twice, but his hero ball this year is killing us.
This wasn’t an upset, VT is better coached, deeper and better.
Hell yeah they a final four team dumb ass question smh
Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behaviour, but "Growing money is wisdom" I heard this from someone💯😇
It’s a one and done tournament at the end so none of these games really matter that much except for seeding and that doesn’t really matter much. College basketball Benny’s contradict themselves week to week over analyzing the sport. Chill out a little and let the cake bake for a little while. How and why did Jeff Goodman get declared a basketball expert ?
Texas longhorns are just better 🤘
In the second half of VTech game Carolina even with the bench were moving and that opened up better shots than dubbing the ball then jacking up a shot. However the defense is what hurts the most. Sometimes it's non-existent.
