Heels looked good.

A win might finally be in the cards

Yup. Pitt choked big time. They had the game. So frustrating to watch. Had to turn it off

Y’all are welcome! Heels looked … good. Lol

[DoubleBlue]

The Pitts of despair in Chapel Hill.

Yeah, I think we broke GA Tech

heels with 24 minutes, four points and one rebound off the bench.

Was Coach K coaching?

We can’t really critique their bench after the Wake game we just played. Other than Ryan Young (9pt, 5 rb), our bench was non-existent! Bench total minus Ryan= 22 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound!

I REALLY hope this isn’t the beginning of the K-era shrinking bench. Hoping Scheyer continues to try to develop the bench.

While it is possible we are seeing the rotation tighten up as the season progresses, I think the recent lack of bench productivity instead reflects Dariq's absence and the unfortunate impact of Jaylen's mask on his play.

I agree. Hopefully we will see Dariq back sooner rather than later, and hope Jaylen can lose the mask soon.
We need so much more from Jake Grandison also. (And it looks like Schutt isn’t going to see any significant burn at Duke this year… hopefully he will stay for next year)

Hey, we aren't the odd on favorites to win the 2023 National Championship!!. Right now our bench has a broken nose, a leg boo boo, Ryan Young and Grandison.

I feel like I saw a black-and-white version of this in The Wizard of Oz... (ESPN)

Hurricane Warning was missed

I knew that weather balloon was a fake!

There’s a Trayce of a chance that some boilers get a makeover on ESPN. Maybe half a chance.

They got it closer, but not close enough. #1 now has loss #2.

[hallcity]

Beating a team two games in a row would be so special.

[cbarry]

This UNC- WF game is taking away a bit of the sting of last night’s loss.
