Crazy UNC Basketball game against Baylor
I want to start with the 1st half, the game was great, Brady Manek and RJ Davis with career games, and all around dominance by the Heels ending the half up 42 to 29. I was loving it, all of my freinds texting me saying “UNC Ruined my bracket,” man it was wonderful.
Then at the start of the second half, we came out with our foot of off the gas but I was Ok with that. then came the Flagrant 2 call on Brady Manek, It was A flagrant, there no doubt about that, but I do not think it was worth a flagrant 2. this is when UNC got way uptight about the whole game and we could not stop Baylor, so we self destructed, plus Baylor just kept putting the ball in the basket.
Then there were some officiating blunders, where for a solid 3 minutes after the Manek ejection Every Single Whistle went against UNC, this fouled out Caleb love, so now we were stuck with only one ball handler.
The offensive issues toward the end of Regulation were bad, We could not get the ball across half court with out them stealing it, giving them at least 10 easy buckets.
Then Overtime! We came out of OT with a massive 3 by Dontrez Styles, Who got major Minutes because of the 2 fouled out players. We did not stop there, on defense UNC held Baylor to 1-11 shooting, this is what won UNC the game.
After the game friend Via Instagram (@benuncjr)told me “dont know if i would be happy or mad as a coach.” and My response to this was, I would be a bit angry if I was Hubert Davis right now but not all at the players, I would be mad that the refs were very one sided, I would be mad that the Ejection that caused all of this crazy stuff happened because I think it was a flagrant 1. but at the same time you have to be mad at the way we handled the situation.
This was a long explanation, But as Always GO HEELS!!
