Jaren is such a force on this offense. He didn't show up in the stat sheet in this game but what he does to soften up the defense, his physicality and toughness and how he runs the team are something we didn't have last year, at least not at this level
No ill will to Tyrese but I think this team is better with Jaren and not sure we get him if Tyrese doesn't depart.
He had 22 points.
Late in the game when everybody had to be gassed that weave was moving so fast I could hardly believe it
When the announcers said he had 20, I did a double take. I'd have guessed he had 8 or 10
Yeah, I think it would have been a fun matchup vs bama, but we’re going to play UConn.
Anybody know where you can watch a replay? Espn+ still doesn't have it up yet, they only have the Villanova game.
I agree 100%. I never thought Hunter was a good PG. He is turnover prone and not a great passer.
Has anyone heard any intel on King? Usually we hear how they are doing in practice and strengths / weaknesses. Don’t remember seeing anything on Tre since he got here.
Otz and this staff are incredible, and it’s clear it takes a special type of player to do what they demand.
It clearly looks genius now, but even last year when a lot of fans didn’t really understand Rob as part of the rotation, it seemed pretty obvious what it meant. The message is TJ demands elite effort every day, every game and practice. He’s going to reward that. It may be 2 mins, it may be 20, but if you make practice elite, it will be rewarded. TJ appears to be the rare coach that actually lives up to the coach speak. That often means fans complaining about guys playing or not playing (see Lard, Cam).
That was a great win for TJ and the program. Not sure UNC is the best team in the country or if Grill will ever go off like that again in his career, but it is impossible to not be impressed with what we saw last night. Those guys gave everything they had every time they were on the floor. I thought a couple guys were going to foul out before the half the way the game started. It is so nice to see that there are several bigs that can go in there and defend.
Word out of the SUKUP is they call him Tre KIng James. He scored 25 pts and grabbed 13 rebounds in OT loss to Xavier early in the 20-21 season....so I think there is potential...
Gabe had on off night on offense, but ### his defense at the end was incredible.
I feel more sorry for Jeremiah Williams, who had to miss the entire season with an injury. I bet you he is wishing he could have played yesterday.And AJ Green coulda been part of this.....sucks to be him
