February 23, 20179 yr Final did not realize that this was the Cards 10th straight road loss to a ranked opponent.
February 23, 20179 yr That was awful on so many levels….., not the least of which I kept hearing the crowd chanting “Tar Heels” backwards in my head as….. Heeeels Tarrrr. Just get the heck out of NC and forge onward.
February 23, 20179 yr I love those old-school black unis with the block letters. Unfortunately the Cards never seem to win when they bust those beauties out. I can't help but feel like if they could have gotten the lead back after it was 40-40 it might have ended better. Or, you know, hit a few more FTs. Because 4-for-13 are HS numbers.
February 23, 20179 yr Final did not realize that this was the Cards 10th straight road loss to a ranked opponent. I definitely wouldn't have guessed that.
February 23, 20179 yr That was embarrassing last night. The worst part is that Louisville was getting everything they could've hoped for in the paint and actually outshot UNC from the floor. That old nemesis, ice-cold perimeter shooting, doomed this team again. And yeah, free throw shooting was definitely embarrassing. Deng Adel had some nice moments scoring but heaven above that dude has AWFUL handles and makes some really bone-headed decisions.
February 23, 20179 yr Those uni's are awesome. How often does UL use them? Too often (given the results). They need somebody without a thumb, a guy from Scooba, MS and 1 of the McCray brothers out there!
February 23, 20179 yr 1st half was tolerable but they didn't maximize the advantages they had. 2nd half was more UNC-like and Cards couldn't match a couple of nice runs from UNC. At one point, I heard myself say "run the isolation for Mahmoud." It was a jarring reality. Make sure to bounce back against Cuse and secure the double bye in the ACC tourney.
February 23, 20179 yr Can't beat anybody shooting 4-13 on free-throws and most of those were 1and1. Counted 4 air balls last night on wide open shots. Oh well there goes the 1 seed unless we win out and the win the ACC tournament.

LOL….I was trying to think of any positive from last night and the only thing I could come up with was Deng Adel’s monster dunk!!! (I’m sure there was more) It was so ugly…. Poor outside shooting, turnovers, missed free throws (which would’ve kept them in the game), missed rebounds, having to listen to Jay Bilas, hearing Heels/Tar in my head. Glad that one is over!

This team has talent but they seem to lack focus at times and definitely get panicky when they're down. Troubling heading into March.

Because 4-for-13 are HS numbers. 4-13 are not even HS numbers, more like 6th grade BB!!
