They went 10/26 in the dome on Saturday.

That seems like something we can weather with the high possessions ahead of us tonight.

We need to be excellent tonight at converting layups and bunnies.

while at KU, HCBS is undefeated against unc. i can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. as it pertains.

When Bacot needs a breather I could see playing KJ, assuming Manek will be at the 5

[UnholyLivingDead]

UNC didn't make a sub in the second half versus Duke until Bacot's injury around the 5:18 mark. Do with that info what you will.

Yeah, that's been talked about what Hubert will do when Bacot is out. Not sure what he does, but there's a possibility of a minute or two from KJ if Mitch can't deal with it.

And, it can't be a foregone conclusion that Bacot can give them a big workload of minutes tonight.

Didn't make a single one the entire 2nd half at Cameron. Didn't sub, in the 2nd half, against Baylor until Manek was ejected and Love fouled out.

UNC holds onto timeouts and can be buried in a flurry. They also did not defend the interior well and made numerous lazy passes on offense. Duke self-destructed due to ratface tightness.

that’s right about where i am

but, i wouldn’t be shocked if we pull away at the end and make it a 15pt win

I firmly believe that DMac's brief spell of crappy play (the missed dunk followed by a couple of "Bad Dave" moments) was due to being winded. There were barely any fouls called in the Nova game so I think our guys were simply running longer periods of play than is normal. Once there was a stoppage of play and he could get his heart rate back down for a few minutes he went right back to being "Good Dave".

That was pretty early in the first half, right?

I chalked that one up to adrenaline. And, well, just being Dave.

He moved better than he has in months.

It was at the 14:50 mark. There were just barely any stoppages of play prior to the first TV timeout at 15:28 so just looked a little winded. He came out of that timeout, missed 1 of 2 free throws, then missed a dunk then settled in and finished out an epic performance. I hope he is even close to that tonight.

I think we are clearly the better team.

I also think it's great that Bill can just point to the Baylor and Duke games over the last like 10 days to make sure our guys know it's going to take a damn good performance to win.

This depends on whether we're up or not and how Dave is playing.
If we're up, put KJ in.
If it's close, you might have a death blow with easier buckets from Dave AND foul trouble on Manek.

Chuck picks incorrectly almost every game. Nba and college. Not the most comforting endorsement.

Statistically due for a win then, right?

[jhawks99]

Didn't Chuck pick KU over Nova?
