Next up 3/5 vs. NCU

[GrizWhiz]

Well, that performance was just too flat.

The first half went well enough, in FG, 3Pt and FT,
Griz were 46%, 80% and 50%

The second half, geez, what happened in the Locker Room?
Griz went 35%, 27%, 67%.

High scorer Walter Wright, got half of his 18 points from the FT line, Breunig more than half of his 13 points from the FT line. GFeller had another one of those inexplicable nights, just 1 of 7 FG and 1 of 7 3pt. Jack Lopez did shine, with 5 of 8 FG and 5 of 8 3pt. Bears got 19 points off of turnovers. Breunig and Oguine must have accounted for half of those.

There was something else going on there, likely off court. Like a death was announced in the Locker Room, or something. There was no floor leadership at all, and DeCuire was just going through the motions as well. It wasn't just an "off night" in the second half against a 7-11 conference team, that lost those seven games in its most recent 8 outings.

The Decuire I watched was not "going through the motions." I have never seen him more antimated with the team during the timeouts and I have been to every home game. That said, it is still hard to understand how they could lose at home to UNC.

I thought he was damn intense and working his ass off too. I think he wanted to use a technical foul later on though. The referee who T'd him up early, had a quick whistle. Travis was questioning a call and really did not do much to deserve the T.

I had not seen or at least noticed that ref at a home game this season. He had a short fuse which is a real liability especially when you are as bad as he was. He was terrible!

What I saw was a UNC team that was unfuckingconcious from beyond the arc in the 2nd half. There were at least 3-4 desperation heaves from well beyond the arc that went in--specifically for one guy (Wilson?)....it was apparent early on in the 2nd that twas not to be for the Griz last night...

The shots were falling no matter what they threw up. Meanwhile, the GRIZ scored 15 points in the 1st 15 minutes of the 2nd half. :x

When Travis gets "intense," the lads listen. In the second half, no one was listening.

...the griz win this game easy...
...if there's a 27 second shot clock...
...you have to defend all 30 seconds...
...unc gets at least 15 with 2/3 tics left...

... :lame: ...

I was at the game...I'd say at least 10 of those were with a hand in their face. Sometimes you just can't guard that any better.

Have we ever been invited without the auto-bid in recent history?
