UNC game thread

[AZGrizFan]

The complete inability to put a team away.

Playing not to lose.

Playing pensive in the last 5-7 minutes of a game.

Playing sloppy.

Inability to handle full court pressure.

Missing critical free throws.

Giving up large leads.

These are not the hallmarks of a great team.

I realize road games/wins are tough to come by, but how is it that this formula happens EVERY. SINGLE.TIME?

Vasquez has played so well and then he fouls on the 3 shot

Garbage call Johnson clearly kicked his right leg out to initiate contact which you can’t do.

Big rebound by Bannon.

 

[MissoulaMarinerFan]

For as much as TDC seems to over coach at times, the Griz have a helluva time in-bounding the ball or dealing with any sort of press.

 

[Griz2k]

Wow, 18 point lead at one point. I just don't get It.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Moody with iron balls, taking a charge like that.

 

[zengriz]

…never a doubt…

… :shock:..

 

[LivingstonNative]

Money Moody!

 

[mtgrizrule]

Too close for comfort, but a needed road win.

Trouble inbounding the ball against pressure.

Used to think Travis was a great coach. What has happened? They barely squeaked this out after having big leads. Glad the Cats have Sprinkle.

 

[MikeyGriz]

Game ball to Anderson!

 

[grizonbob]

Frustrating, no doubt.

But nice to win on the road.

Mac played great, 15 pts, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. He also changed some shots. He helped on defense on one play and forced the guy to travel. Nice game Mac....

Hate to say it, but it might be the only road win in conference. UNC is not good and UM struggled.

 

[MikeyGriz]

Knew we had it all along! :roll:

I used to think so as well. Now, not so much. No Griz lead, no matter how big, is safe. It's absolutely ridiculous.

 

[LivingstonNative]

GRIZ need to work on that press. Look to me like they could’ve had a couple easy baskets. But held back.
It is a good thing we had a big lead when they started the press.

With his years of coaching and experience, he should be doing this on a regular basis. He's been playing a long, long time.

Game ball definitely goes to Mac. He is the heart and soul of this team. You can criticize him all you want but he plays hard every game.
Congratulations Mac

My thought too.

The Griz did their best to piss this game away, instead of going for the throat and putting the Bears away. That included at least two 3-minute stretches where they didn't score a point. Frustrating to see.

Fall-back position: "A win is a win." Especially on the road.
