MBB: Georgia Tech 68, UNC-CH 51

You would need to give me about 8 or 9 pts before I would consider Carolina. GT's got better players, is at home, and has more to play for.

That may be, but you can't ignore how strong Carolina's chairs are.

Carolina looks like a good High School team. The 14 turnovers with 2 minutes left in the first half have got to be giving Roy and ulcer.

Tech's playing bad and kerlina is playing worse.. very ragged game thus far.. kerlina is lucky to only be down 10..

Henson may have the worst skills for a "can't miss" recruit I've ever seen. No ability to hit inside shots further than 8-inches away from the basket, can't really handle the ball and his free throws are laughablly off line. I love it!

[SupaDave]

Anyone else notice that Hewitt took the names off the backs of the jerseys?

I wondered about that - noticed it and couldn't remember if they had done it before?

[GODUKEGO]

Could not agree more. His range is a dunk!!

[borodevil16]

How many times can Henson throw the ball of one of his teammates heads for a turnover? So far....2

[Newton_14]

Anyone else notice that Hewitt took the names off the backs of the jerseys?

I noticed that as well. Thought maybe they were wearing throwback jersey's or something? Or is he sending a message...

They are wearing the 1960 throwback again tonight.

[GODUKEGO]

15 turnovers in the half...

Carolina on a 1 point run and cut the lead to 20. Almost half time - 41 - 21 GT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21 points, 15 TO's. A top 10 team would have them down 30+ the way they played that half. They are in terrible foul trouble too. Thompson has 3, Strickland has 3, Wear has 3. Could get a lot uglier in the 2nd half if GT plays decently.

And the odd thing is they did a really good job on Lawal in that half. He only scored 3 points.

If not for the truly pitiful pack of nstate - the Heels would have one ACC win this year. Bring back the Doh!

unc is just a terrible team this year. They play a helter-skelter style bb(if that's a style). Seen better high school teams. The best thing about it is ole roy's look on the bench. I wonder if Shumpert is in Hewitt's doghouse? Not much action tonight. Go Duke!

Prediction for tonight:

The defending National Champs will lose to a long-time rival on the road, and the fans there will not rush the court at the end. Some may even leave early to beat the traffic since the game will be decided well before the end.

This may be the worst I've seen the Heels look since the 8-20 season (or it may be worse than that).

Lousy shooting, bad ball handling, bad defense, just totally clueless.

[jv001]

If I were ole roy, this team would make me cry. drew gets into the lane and can't hit a basket, throws it away or a player fumbles it out of bounds. Go Duke!

[OldSchool]

That may be, but you can't ignore how strong Carolina's chairs are.

Ol' Roy might want to put the chairs out on the court and leave the players on the sidelines. The chairs would probably take better care of the ball.

The IC board is great tonight - GT game thread - much more fun than this board.
