UNC lost 2 of 3 – Trouble Brewing? Or just a Blip? | Is Armando Bacot back? | Cormac Ryan's shooting

North Carolina has dropped 2 of their past 3 games. Is it a disturbing trend or just a blip? Armando Bacot has strung together back-to-back 20-point, 10-rebound performances – a great sign for Carolina. What’s the best way to handle Cormac Ryan’s shooting woes? Why was Clemson’s zone able to slow down UNC so much on Tuesday night? What exactly was Carolina missing with Seth Trimble out? Would his presence have turned the tide? In social media world, the coaching staff got all the credit for figuring out an offensive wrinkle when Duke was doubling off of Elliot Cadeau, but according to Coach Hubert Davis, it was Cadeau that came up with the screen idea to free up RJ Davis. What do moments like this show about Cadeau?

My two cents: I think Elliot needs to start faking the 3, and stepping up to take the midrange shot. He has a good midrange shot. Also, I would like to see better use of Withers. He can drive to the hole if they set some screens for him just like they do for RJ. And lastly, Cormac has been rushing his shot release. If he takes his time on the release, he will get better.

@dionellwalker9762 says:

Cadeau is a liability on defense and teams are playing off him daring him to hit a jumper which he clearly cant. Ryan can't go 1-10 and the Tarheels expect to win with him shooting 10 percent

@manman2991 says:

Its time to sit Cormac down

@treyturner7771 says:

They need to put Ingram at the 3 and withers at the 4 …the small ball offense doesn't work at all with bigger defenders

@stayvigilant7856 says:

Ill be honest i agree i said i was worried right after the loss. I do NOT like that 2 games we should of won we lose.. i dont like Cormac ryan still un consistently shooting we need more than 2 points from him c'mon!! Rj davis and bacot both soing their thing and Ingram bit others gotta help out offensive end. Lets turn this around sat boys please! GO HEELS!!

@Majesticon says:

I honestly think Tuesday's game was just a result of circumstance converging. Clemson was desperate for a decent quad 1 win and unc was hung over (possibly literally hung over😂) from spending so much energy on duke and the subsequent celebration. Im willing to accept it as a blip, but i am worried that clemson and to an extent ga tech has given other teams the blueprint on beating us with a packline style faux zone defense

@Majesticon says:

If someone told me UNC would have beaten Duke, be 18-5 and a projected 2 seed wt the beginning of the season, id have taken it! This team is solid, theyre just not run and jump out the gym super athletic and that will lomit them sometimes esp when the 3 ball just isnt falling. These 👏🏿team👏🏿needs👏🏿to👏🏿make👏🏿shots!!! Teams are face guarding RJ and packing it in on Armando. The only way to pull teams out of this gimmick defense is to hit shots, that means elliot, seth, ryan, harrison and wojik need find a way lord! And at least get the ball up and get the board!! We must rebound and shoot 47% from 3, or we are done in the second round.

@user-ui9yf7fe7q says:

How about a starting 5 with Ingram at the 3 and withers at the 4?????? I BELIEVE that would work and if withers gets the minutes that Cormac is getting his 3 pointer would cone around. Couldn’t be a lot worse than Cormac shooting percentage

@tonpetitami says:

Haha can't even beat little girls in a little girls conference like the acc. Wait till you get to the NIT and face real competitions from real men's conferences like SWAC and SoCon!

@tonymangum6478 says:

We loss every Sunday under Matt Doherty

@Michael-dd6hl says:

I think Cormac needs to be balanced and straight up on his shots. He's off balanced to me.

@Michael-dd6hl says:

Did anyone else see that Cormac missed layup. Wow. That looked like Ollie in Hoosiers .

@DWAYNEMCNEIL-wn9wg says:

CORMAC TO THE BENCH JALEN WASHINGTON AT THE 4 AMANDA AT THE 5 AND HARRISON INGRAM AT THE 3 !!! THAT IS UNC'S BEST!!!

@DWAYNEMCNEIL-wn9wg says:

ELLIOTT CODE IS GOING TO HAVE TO KNOCK DOWN SOME JUMPERS IF CAROLINA IS GOING TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
