I stated when this season began that Miami would be in the mix. The crusty Larranago has total respect from his players. He outcoached Roy in the 2nd half last night. He took Bullock completely out of his game. Duke, State, Miami, FSU, and Maryland are the leaders right now. UNC may be next. I think that MD will beat State next week at home. Roy isn't a game coach. Games are won in practice, but when it close.....

Roy has never been the best at making adjustments during a game, and yes, Larranago definitely coached his guys to take Bullock and McAdoo out of the game, and it worked.

I was glad to see Roy use his T/O's as well, but it was too little too late. I did see Roy coaching up the players, though, instead of sulking like he does sometimes.

It's going to be a long year, but you can't win 'em all.

Thanks for keeping it classy, shaken. You could be on here slamming us like all the others, but you're not - thanks for that.

Thankfully, Carolina plays that game in LIttlejohn, or yes, that streak would be over as well.

Yeah, and if I see effort and hustle, I'm OK with it, and the guys did try tonight. I feel bad for them and worse for Roy.

Huckleberry can't coach unless he has 2,3 or 4 NBA 1st round draft choices on his team (which most folks could do with those lineups).

Two points:

Most State fans were too busy watching or attending the GT game to post on the forums.

Miami made half time adjustments to take Bullock and McAdoo out of the game during the second half.

PS...I was glad to see Coach Williams use his time outs at the end of the game setting up plays when the margin was close enough to close. Too many times he has left timeouts on the board when they could have been used for instructive adjustments.

the best this years unc team can go is 4-12 in the acc this team is certainly at the bottom of the acc no heart, no good coaching, no chemistry, and no judgement at all this team is getting outplayed outcoached in every game that being said roy williams is not doing a good job coaching this team just as he does most of the time in rebuilding seasons but this team should get better next year if we get some good players but this year we could very well be the worst team in the acc!

Miami got hot when it counted and UNC just can't find a hot shooter. They still will win some big games, hopefully not against the pack though.
