Some humorous reading among the pregame write-ups. Easy to tell those who did their research vs those who didnāt.
From Sports Chat Place:
Dear SCP writer, just because a local annual rivalry game is known as āThe Battle ofā¦ā doesnāt mean the actual game turned out to be one. Yes, itās called the Battle of Kings Mountain, but the Revolutionary forces routed the Tories! Ditto the Niners over the Cats!
From CBS Sports:
Dear CBS writer, what about the roster makeover for the home team? If thatās what you mean by ābetter game plan,ā then Iāll cut you some slack.
And, of course, from the Big O:
clt asks if the o still exists?
Anybody know of a site to stream the game? ESPNU is the one channel I donāt get with my sports package? Haha.
Which service do you have? Spectrum will prorate per day, cheap.
On the West Coast now. I have Exfinity Comcast.
Woohoo!!
Sweet!
Hail Charlotte 49ers!!!
Jahmir Young and the 49ers are CHURCH!
BOOM! There we go!
That D was impressive!
Good win. The isolation offense the last 4 minutes of the game almost blew the game. How many isolations in a row, like 3-4? Sanchez mentioned it in the postgame and that they were wrong for changing and the coaches will learn from it.
The back door assists are a thing of beauty. When the ball is moving on offense, normally a good shot goes up.
Defense is really scrappy out there. We arenāt giving up as many wide open shots previous years teams would.
Vasicā¦ Iām sure he doesnāt feel great about his minutes he had out there so I wonāt pile on too much. Iām sure it is hard to enter the game cold and see yourself with an open 3 that you prob would make in practice or being warmed up. Iām guessing the other guys taking his minutes are just a step quicker out there.
Young looks read good on offense. 4-5 from 3. The team was 5-12 from 3. With Wakeās size inside the team could have settled for 3s but didnāt.
Guys that drive to the basket or get a rebound and their are 2-3 opposing players on top of them, PASS it out. I guess they are trying to get fouled and maybe they are coached to do that but you would think making the extra pass will find someone open.
Great win. Wonder why robb is playing so much. Why isnāt bertram playing. Refs tried to give the the game. We need one more player to step up offensively and we could be really good.
Whose minutes does Bertram get? Only so many minutes to go around. I prefer an 8 man rotation. Players may appear equal to us but they are not, the coaches can tell. He may get minutes against other teams where he has a better defensive guarding matching and like you said, help up shoot out of a zone defense.
Back ro back games weāve actually looked like a basketball team !
Cant wait to make the trip to Boones Thursday !
My guess is defensive playā¦assume Robb is more scrappy and quick than Bertramā¦but I would love Dirty Sanchez to find some minutes for Bertramā¦we need outside shooting threats badly.
But maybe not at the expense of our defenseā¦which is phenominal to this point.
clt says we won despite of the refs
