Can anyone explain why they didn't change that 3 pointer and why Larranaga nd his staff weren't aware and screaming bloody murder?

Saw that from my seat but no one else in the stadium seemed to notice.
 
It wasn't pretty, it wasn't closed out the way I'd want it to be, but it's a win. The 'Canes are ACC Regular Season Co-Champs(Frankly, it's tough to see it as a Co-Championship, because Miami beat UVA, but oh well), and this team is a solid week away from potentially playing their way to the 3 line.

Wooga has been developing at a nice clip all year, we are seeing the fruits of his labor. I remember when that dude couldn't hit water if you put him in a boat in the middle of the Atlantic, now he's splashing threes. He's an athletic swingman that can get hot from deep. That's a dangerous combo, especially when you consider where he started off.

Wong isn't where he usually is, but he's still finding a way to contribute what he can. It's just a matter of time before he gets right, and hopefully it's the ACC Tournament, to where he can build some confidence going into the dance.

Yet hit the gw three at end if the FSU doesn’t drain the miracle. I’d anything that shows how clutch and important he’s been. Horrible second half but still has the balls to hit that shot. It’s a long *** season so finding one half to ***** about is a bit much. Especially with him being so important / consistent

Miller has been by far our most consistent player, anyone that has been paying attention knows that. It's amazing how certain people, who only show their faces when things aren't going well always take a small sample size and extrapolate it. For us that have been watching all season, we KNOW that Jordan Miller is an extremely valuable player and we will need him to be what he usually is in order to go far. He's the glue, he's the guy that no matter what you can count on him to make winning plays.

Gonna have to argue that "not even close" part. I'd say Omier at 14 pts and 10 rebs a game to Millers 15 pts and 6 rebs is **** close.

Miller does all the small stuff and is always in the right spot. As well as handling , passing , hitting clutch shots and FT’s. It’s like he has a magnet to the ball. I‘m shocked when he does anything bad like the turnover in the corner. He’s been the only guy that’s impacting in multiple ways every game , even if it’s not scoring. 15 has been solid all year too.

pack needs to get 100% healthy - good not have won without him

players (Wong) entitled to a bad game every once in a while

good shooting by Wooga

need to work on in-bounding the ball against the press - been an issue all year

we have talented players so I believe this is a coaching issue

i believe we can win the whole thing this year if we correct this issue and learn to close-out games

very proud of our team and our coaching staff

LET’S WIN THE WHOLE **** THING

The U

Hinson was locked in. Somehow that was a pretty high % shot all things considered.

It was a terrifying moment. I was half way into the punched in the gut position I ended the FSU game in when it reached the basketball.

This may sound strange to some, but he’s also the smoothest player we have. It’s kind of hard to explain, but I mean the way he is able to maneuver, with effectiveness and economy of motion. I don’t know if that makes any sense to anybody but I see him up and down the court, and I think smooth.

Over/under, depending on the sportsbook, was 153 to 155. Final score is 78-76. Should've been 78-75. Somebody got ****ed. Anyone else want to see 10,000 gamblers bring a class action against he ACC for a $100 million for ******** their bets over?

Glass half full this team went 24-6 / 15-5 and won the Acc regular season even though they’re very suspect in late game situations , blowing most of their losses late. Glass half empty , not sure how that’ll play in tourney time when games are close and there’s high pressure situations.

Alternate theory, they might be one of the most pressure time-tested teams in the entire country.

those mistakes and yes losses likely help them now

He's super smooth, dude is just that guy at the gym that quietly drops buckets on you, and you can't explain why. He reminds me of Davon Reed, although Davon had more physical strength. They are just so incredibly smooth with how they play. They are crafty scorers that are pretty solid defensively. I don't know if Jordan gets to the NBA like Davon(Davon is built like an NBA player, Jordan lacks the heft), but he will have a good career overseas no matter what. Good kid and I hope he stays active around the program. We need alums like him to stay involved.

Exactly. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
