That wasn’t pretty and they still end up covering. Need a better effort tomorrow . RJ seemed aloof all night until he got his late dunks.

I feel like the team was too happy Zion was back and deferred more than usual. I'm hoping we see more assertiveness tomorrow.

I think because it’s Carolina the focus will be more intense. I’m actually not even worried about that.

But....we have to play really well tomorrow night if we’re going to win. Carolina is good. So are we. And we have Zion. They don’t. I’ll take my chances.

Game tomorrow is hard to call...I actually think UNC has the better team but we have the better talent...can all our potential finally come together is the big question...we will need either Cam or Tre as a reliable third option tomorrow, we won’t win with just Zion and Barrett.

As lousy as we shoot the 3 ball why does K not give Joey Baker just 5 to 8 minutes and tell him to shoot every good look he gets. K torched Joeys redshirt (though I did read somewhere that Joey requested it). let the kid play. UNCheating will beat us by 15 points if we don't quit throwing the ball away and especially if we dont hit more outside shots. I am so baffled and disgusted by things I see because I just want the team to excel, just like you want your kids to excel. Come on team, please get it together.

The way we turned the ball over tonight we won’t beat Carolina. It will be a tough game for us but if we find 2 other guys to score the ball we will have a chance.

Good grief that was nerve racking. Zion was incredible. We looked like we were adjusting to playing with him again. Syracuse hit everything mid game and finally cooled down. We stayed the course and played very well down the stretch. So happy for Goldwire; this guy can really help us.

Hope I’m wrong, but Cam can’t be 2-7 tomorrow. He plays too many minutes to be such a question mark. That’s where some on here don’t seem to get it when he’s criticized. All the sudden posters start acting like someone shot their dog. Do some of you realize if he played consistently even close to his ranking, we don’t struggle like we do?

We have too many other guys that can’t score. If Cam’s on tomorrow, we might be very happy.

Free throw shooting was clutch down the stretch.

Frank Howard has absolutely no excuse for being a single-digit scorer on the season.

Duke will have to clean it up tomorrow. 18 turnovers would be bad news against UNC - that is a lot of chances for them to get out on the break. I'm excited though.
