Really good game tonight. Team has improved a lot; we left a few winning plays out there, but the refs were bad. Cacok’s 4th was BS and the Fornes charge were particularly bad. I like where we are right now.
Toews looks special.

The charge on Fornes was horrible and was the dagger.

That was an And 1 if anything. Mckillop is a cry baby beoch. UNCW deserved better than this. Davidson hit every shot that they took and barely won the game. Hawks are very good and getting better.

RE: Davidson - Saturday, Dec 1 at 7 PM
Few things, first we have to be able to get a damn stop! Davidson didn’t come up empty once in the last 6 minutes
Second, we have to make are damn free throws!
Third- anyone who doesn’t want Cylla to shoot threes is just silly!
Forth- let another one slip away. We have to learn how to win close games. We let this one and Campbell slip away.
They have shown they can play with anyone, but , I’m done with moral victories let’s get some damn W’s!!
Refs certainly didn’t help but we didn’t help ourselves either! And I agree the call on Fornes was ridiculous!

It was absolutely an And 1 which would’ve tied the game. Instead we were down three and it gave them the ball back and that’s when they took the bigger lead we couldn’t come back on.

I don't believe in moral victories, but boy this was close. If we had hit our free throws, UNCW would have beaten one of the A-10's top teams. I am hopeful going into the CAA.

Davy was 13-29 from 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They don't miss. It's very good execution but UNCW beats 99% of teams tonight.
Hard to lock down when they can drive you and have bigs that can score in the post. Tough, tough team to beat.

I am too. This team will easily compete in the CAA, especially with our new rotations and defense. McGrath has done a very good job with this group.

I thought so too CG. That 1 call was a 5 to 6 point swing at a crucial moment

What D? While I agree it was improved last few games we had zero ability to get a stop tonight. The way we shot we win with just a few stops

I honestly forgot who said it but remembered reading it. One more thing anyone else notice Kai just jogging it up a few possessions under a min when we needed quick buckets? Learning curve I guess

Really good interior D and we’re drawing a ton of fouls.
35-33 Davidson, under a minute in the half.
Weird. I feel like someone mentioned something about our needing to lock down the perimeter d... “nah, don’t worry about that, they’re not good from 3...”

Ha! I believe I ALSO said we’ve made some bad 3-pt shooting teams look good this year. So I suppose we were both right!

1. Agree, Grady killed us down the stretch. No one could stay in front of him and he drove at will.
2. Agree, the free throws cost us the game. Both teams were about even in attempts. Never want to get into a free throw contest against Davidson.
3. Agree, Cylla is quite reliable behind the arc. He started the year off slow.
4. Agree and disagree, the free throw make differential cost us. Davidson and Campbell are not on the same level. Davidson is a top 3 A-10 team. We have this kind of game against Campbell we beat them. This team is still learning and developing. No doubt we are showing improvement. I will take a hard fought loss to Davidson then playing a NC A&T or Western Carolina where we likely win by about 10-15.
The UNC game is what it is. I hope we can stay within 10 by halftime. The next three on the road will be telling. Need to win 2 out of 3.

30-20 advantage points in the paint for Davidson and that was the difference. And they shot 65% in the 2nd half and barely won. Wow, that was a crazy game.

Whole heartedly agree. The last 10 min of the game I’m not sure if we even got a stop on D.

This hurts. One question I have is why did they give up on
the press in the second half. One or two if them in the last five minutes could have changed things.
The Fornes call was terrible.
I am optimistic however. Think about what Davidison did to Northeastern.
