Miami in the home white omir bot will jump and it’s thear Hill with the tip and the Freshman Elliot [Applause] Kdo Ingram shot airball take a look here at the starting lineup brought to you by eBay notice no Kean George in the lineup from Miami nursing a sore ankle is binley Joseph getting the start for the [Applause] Hurricanes kdo to RJ Davis who’s probably the best player right now in the country
Davis and gdo stepped out of bounds turnover Miami basketball a little different this game for North Carolina normally when you watch the tar Hills play the first play is designed to get the basketball inside to Amando Bott he’s looking at Hubert Davis right now putting his hand on his chest saying
That’s my fault I believe that’s what coach Davis wanted but the tar Hills didn’t execute It here’s Nigel pack gets the high screen for omir pull up jumper good first two of the game and what the first field goal he made in the last two games did not have a field goal at Virginia only two points in that game so Nigel
Pac already off to a much better start than he was great Point pack just two points against Virginia no field goals that jumper Smooth by Harrison Ingram he’s the X Factor for this team BC Harrison Ingram his ability to be able to shoot the ball from Beyond the AR but also rebound has
Given North Carolina a tremendous Dimension that they’ve carried with them over to accomplish play Stanford transfer come a fan favorite already from Chapel Hill Cleveland bell here’s pack with five on the shot clock inside goir with three turnaround jumper short Ingram the rebound and nearly lost
It though had RJ Davis on the corner wide open he missed him on that one offensive rebound kick it back out to the Freshman David open three that’s why he has to get it when he’s open the ball has to go to number four didn’t have a great shooting game last time 7
For 22 against Clemson but he can get hot in a hurry ACC leading score averages 21 a game omir he can knock down the three that one’s too strong offensive board blocked and here come the tar Hills they want to push it car Ryan shot injected by
Omir NORAD omir doing a great job recovering on that play Cormac Ryan nice off the bounce is able to get past omir but omir not giving up on the play comes up with the block shot unable to save it but denies the [Applause] two Ryan to Davis got space you can’t
Give him space and already Less Than 3 minutes into this game RJ Davis with his 21st consecutive game with multiple three-point field goals which is a North Carolina record shooting over 40% from distance wga poer his shot in and out Davis pull up too strong that’s okay
You knocked down two already that’s a heat check for RJ Davis early in this [Applause] game pack with the handles to omir back out to pack that three is no good cadell the ref freshman with the board he’s at his best when he does that penetrate great recognition by Elliot
Kadoo recognizing Amando Bott had Nigel pack behind him everyone trying to get back to help out pack no one stopping the basketball eight-point lead here for North Carolina we played about four minutes here in the first half Matthew Cleveland with the rock Amir took a look at the shot clock
Bullies his way inside left hand jump hook North Carolina will take that if Miami has to work that hard to be able to get a bucket Hubert Davis will allow that part to be able to happen great defensive job by amond bot on that possession float game good by The
Freshman Elliot kadoo in attack mode early and where we sit during Miami games right in front of the North Carolina bench we can hear Hubert Davis telling his team attack attack attack here’s omir that shot to no good B CAU another [Applause] rebound Cormac for three
Good Jim Lena worked all week on taking away the 5c layups and five effort the enthusiasm was his concern well and Hubert Davis when we talk to him pregame told us that he did not believe in The Hangover or the Trap game leading up to the Duke game for North Carolina but all
Evidence points to the hangover is real and had a little survey with many of the North Carolina faithful here they also agree Matthew Cleveland driv uses the left hand nice back door cut by Cleveland and delivery to be able to finish nice execution by the Hurricanes
Coming out of timeout but they’ve got to find a way to get some stops on this end lead is nine here’s the travel by [Applause] bot Matthew Cleveland recognizing Bley Joseph in a tough spot Cuts back door the great cut and the nice pass from
Joseph to be able to finish it off and then Miami able to force a turnover on the other end once they trapped amondo Bop and Coach the basketball here’s back binsley Joseph now behind the back step back rims out Bott another board leads the ACC in rebounding looking to get it inside to
Bot round the horn Ryan misses that three Bott had a mismatch on that possession the Trap got Ryan a wide open look cormack Ryan unable to knock it [Applause] down here’s omir Powers his way to the hoop and lays it in you can see nor Chad omir intent on
Being aggressive to start this basketball game that was his sixth field goal attempt off already Withers has checked in for North [Applause] Carolina nor Chad oir got started one of five from the field however he’s not going to be deterred this time in between two tar Hills to be able to
Finish with the reverse layup and NORAD omir unlike Armando Bott will not get much of a break throughout this game unless he gets in foul trouble Jim Lena keeps omir on the floor as much as he Poss Poss L can because the hurricanes are a different
Team in a much better way when he’s on the [Applause] floor here’s Davis he’s already knocked down a couple of triples inside B drps it home great find from Jaylen Withers who checked into the game and Withers will be able to bolster that front line one of the primary substance tions for
North Carolina he’s had a success against this Miami team especially here in this building in this Louisville Cardinal [Applause] day omir crosses over Bott shots no good got it back tried to power his his way knocked away good defensive play good [Applause] hand that’s three is good by Ingram
Doing it on both ends of the Court the 5 Second threes the five second layups Hubert Davis wants as many as they can get does not want to have to run offense if their primary break allows them to get good looks Jim Lena is trying to
Stop it it has not happened here in the first seven and a half minutes you’re right that was one of the things he talked about we cannot give up the 5sec three they going to call that foul on Ingram coach Davis loves the enthusiasm Huber Davis was a very a reserved
Player he was very calm as a player shooting guard shoot the cover off the basketball but you never saw a lot of emotion playing against him but as a coach you can see it DC he’s got the emotion going over here on the sideline he also understands how important this
Game is recognizing now Virginia and Duke only one behind them in the Lost column and he wants to maintain that lead over those contenders behind him Coach Davis looking for his first win against Miami as well and his third third season head coach has his Alma
Moders Pat knocks down to three for the [Applause] canes oh and turnover Withers with this lineup now with Withers at the four pushing Harrison Ingram to the three and North Carolina does play with this lineup at times but it’s not something they use often without Seth tremble available for the second straight game Ingram will get
More minutes on the perimeter here’s pack hit that that three look he was just one of 10 from three in the previous two Games North Carolina getting the buckets easy and early you see jayen Withers with the beautiful F to amondo Bott and then Harrison Ingram early in the shot clock able to knock down a three ball as North Carolina DC play but those expectations may have been a little too l considering all of the
Losses they had coming into this year losing P another three losing both Jordan Miller and Isaiah Wong I had to pause for a second cuz I saw the cross from a from a Nigel pack was you knew the three was going to be good after the nice move
Withers and kadoo will back it up and run the play Drive rejected by Pat [Applause] poer and they’re going to call that offensive screen on jakai Robinson now we normally pause to watch Nigel pack knock down a big three but going to the replay to see a block shot is not
Something that happens often for Nigel pack but he did it like he does it all the time the big block Elliot Kad going with the right hand if he keeps that the left he doesn’t get a shot block but give Nigel Pac a lot of credit for
Showing up on the defensive end getting packed with just one of 10 from distance last two games he’s already knocked down a couple here today here’s Bott gets double team kicks it out Davis to kadoo the Freshman too strong jaai Robinson getting minutes with no Kean George in this game jakai
Robinson getting an opportunity stepping up with a rebound early buer shot in and out it’ll be toar Hill basketball coach Lara made it clear to us that with jakai Robinson he was going to do the job defensively may not give them much on the offensive end of the floor but he
Would never question his energy and his effort he knows that’s going to be on the court here’s bacot rolls shots no good Cormac gets the board nice kick that’s a shot that Paxton has to take and there’s the freshman and Elliot kadoo looking simply at Paxton woic recognizing hey when I drive the
Basketball I cracked this paint throw out there you got to take that Paxon wji a not big time three-point shooter but just checking into the game maybe not comfortable taking that first one I guarantee you the next one he’ll let it fly so here’s the Freshman Elliot
Kadoo knocks down that first free throw hey tomorrow at 2 Eastern we’ll have the women’s basketball matchup of the day here on ESPN in the app you got undefeated the number one team in the country South Carolina they host Paige beckard and number 11 Yukon Monumental matchup here on the network as the
Freshman knocks down both of them I’m locked in for that tomorrow 2 pm oh without question eight-point lead here for Carolina give Miami credit they’ve been able to stem the tide a bit here now an opportunity to cut into that lead after allowing the tar Hills to get
Out to a double figure lead early pack again Nigel pack is up with individual matchup he’s heard all the talk about RJ Davis is the best guard in the country he’s the best player in the ACC Nigel pack stepping up here on his home floor here’s RJ
Blocked binley Joseph he’s their best on the ball Defender now early in the season benley Joseph was the first to get into double digits and block shots for the Miami Hurricanes which is saying something when your point guard is leading you in Block shots I got to check the numbers
But benley showing he’s got that ability back to W back to Davis drives the Baseline floater but [Applause] Foul that one’s on Matthew Cleveland so here comes RJ Davis in score in the ACC he’s a 90% free throw shooter and now down to Second Joe Gerard passing up RJ RJ was shooting 95% for the majority of the Season had a couple misses that took him
Into second place but still the all-time leading free throw percentage shooter at the University of North Carolina and keep in mind with RJ averaging 21 points a game the last two tar Hills who average 21 ended up winning the wooden award and that was Tyler hansboro and Antoine Jameson it’s pretty good company
To be in great company here’s Joseph Blows By The Freshman and he’ll go to the [Applause] line third that’s on CAD tell you what I like about this matchup so far Huber Davis and Jim L andega putting their two scoring guards on each other it’s not as though Bley
Joseph who is the best defender perimeter Defender for Miami he’s not guarding RJ DAV he’s actually guarding Elliot Cad and allowing Nigel pack to take on that match up against RJ there’s Kean George and he’s got that that ankle injury again Kean George turning his ankle 3
Minutes into the game vers Virginia on Monday night and when he was injured the Hurricanes were up 7 to2 went to block a Reese beakman shot came down awkwardly landing on that ankle as the other top freshman point guard in the league Elliot Kad continues to find his way to the
Rent say other I should have said one of them there’s a couple at Pittsburgh getting the job done as well slit and lost the basketball was Joseph got to open for three too strong great look for Harrison Ingram though put so much pressure on your team when you got your
Fourman who can step out and shoot the trail three Ball here’s pack throws it up to omir that awakes the crowd six-point lead for Carolina Corner three no good rebound Cleveland here come the canes how about this diving on the floor is Davis kadoo extra pass Wii three no good Wii [Applause] again two good looks from Paxton roen
Unable to knock down either one of them that could have stretched out the lead Bley Joseph trying to have some get back maybe a little rust on that possession kdo will slow the pace down here and inside 8 minutes till the half six-point lead for Carolina kadoo
Yes the Freshman out of West Thorns New Jersey it’s a big bucket for Elliot kadoo that’s not his strong suit he’s of course a capable three-point shooter but he does a majority of his damage getting into the lane that three gives North Carolina a nine-point lead a little more breathing room NAD
Omir talk about bully ball somebody’s been in the wait [Applause] room net oir with amond Bott on the bench starting to flex his muscle first on the oop and secondly as my man BC says it’s just bully ball on the and Nigel pack have scored 18 of Miami’s first 20 22 points
In this game and they team up for a beautiful alleyoop on this possession pack getting into the paint and finding omir way above the cylinder where he’s able to finish it off for the Highlight nor omir got 12 double doubles this season leads the ACC in
Double doubles he’s one of the top 10 candidates for that Carl Malone award which goes to the nation’s top power forward he knocks down the free [Applause] throw you know last time kanes have beating the top five team here at home got to go back to February of
2016 they knocked off number three Virginia there cor oh you had to do that huh BC okay knocked off your Cavalier now you know you went to college in the state of Virginia felt like you would you would you would do that you know you know you were at Hamp
University at the same time as my roommate father of course Chris Harvey is my roommate Dr Harvey the president so we had that connection I got so for you to throw it out there like that with the UVA that kind of hurt a little bit coming more from you but that’s okay
Though I know it’s only done in [Laughter] love Sixpoint lead here for the DAR Hills shot no good there’s air again for the follow but a foul and Hubert Davis did not like the way NORAD omir took Jaylen Washington to school on the Block before the timeout so he’s get
Zaden High into the game to give High an opportunity to go up against NORAD omir and omir is winning on that one as well hey we got six college basketball games highlighting our ESPN schedule today of course the feature matchup you get fourth ranked Kansas 13th ranked Baylor
Big 12 Sonic Blockbuster game that’s next 6 Eastern three Pacific right here on the network it’s going to be rocking in the F fog Allen Fieldhouse I’ve never done a game there as a commentator but actually played in the fall as omir is getting the steal and this one of the
Things that he can do oh omir turned that ankle a little bit on that possession they going to get RJ Davis for the reach in you can see omir walking it off and give RJ Davis a lot of credit and that’s a great call Bill Covington right on top of that you saw
Davis grab omir above the shoulders to bring him down and you see omir just walking that off I saw him turn his ankle on the way down he’s definitely checking out something something on that left left leg however this guy is so tough he’s not concerned about
It by the way keep on that that last series of events Armando Bai got himself a rebound you know he is now passed Tim Duncan he’s now third all time in ACC history when it comes to rebounding Ron shavick Dicky hrich in front of him and how about this
Lead now is cut it down to only three how about Zay High getting in the mix and coming up with the offensive rebound which is a staple of what the University of North Carolina does especially along that front line you talk about Amando Bott and his rebounding
Prowess and it’s the first time we worked together so you’re probably would not familiar but of course Mondo is my baby boy I’ve had him since he was in the seventh grade trained with me but even though he’s my baby boy yeah there’s an as beside that
Record because all those other guys did it in four years right this is you know four and a half years Hond at this point so but he is the alltime leading rebound at University of North Carolina and he did that last year which there is no asri beside that that’s legit one thing
Too for Bott you you look at this is the 155th game that he has started that’s a North Carolina record and now you see the asteris [Applause] 156 game he’s played in that too on Carolina recer passing up leaky black but he will have he has had a legendary career will be mentioned
Amongst the great at North Carolina just like great defense by Elliot cadoo getting into the passing Lane and coming up with the steal yeah Joseph turning it over good Pass High missed everything on that one here’s Pat pulls up got kadoo closing out a little short on
That one you can do that with most players however you cannot do that with Nigel pack he has once you cross half court range and shows it off on that last possession lead is now just one for Carolina make it four that’s the answer right there the acc’s
Most likely Player of the Year RJ Davis knocking down the three ball in response to Nigel pack getting a big bucket throwing it up for air knocked Away by high good job good defensive play by him here comes Davis back the other way fade rolls off is high again he’s
Active snag and here com popper throwing it up great pl Play by AJ Casey to be able to get that is red hot AJ Casey saving what would have been a turnover gets it back in bounds and Nigel Pat knocking down another three his fourth already here in the first
Half it’s raining threes here in Miami thanks to Nigel pack Ryan misses 124 run for The KES popper count it and [Applause] one Miami T of the game Nigel pack pulling up in transition knocking down the three ball and then once again Nigel finding himself with enough space
To make a big play wgaa getting in the mix the and one opportunity when we return Miami he’s after missing his first in fact pack and omir have made 28 of Miami’s 34 points and their first lead of the game but after the loss at Virginia where Miami only scored 38
Points this is what you would expect for two guys who helped lead their team to the Final Four Season to go the response you have to show up as Leaders of this team Jim Lena has to be able to rely on Nigel pack and nor cadir to bring this
Type of effort and energy every night this place has been a house of horrors of late for Carolina couple of seasons ago they lost here by 28 steel Joseph block by Harrison Ingram great play by Harrison Ingram right there I would have loved to see benley Joseph dropped that
One off and allow AJ Casey to be able to come up after coming up with the steal and dunk that one to keep the momentum alive for Miami here’s Pat fading score four-point lead Nigel pack showing that he can get it done too he knows about the scoring prowess of RJ Davis
But Nigel pack has been the guy here this afternoon Ingram turnover Here Comes Joseph stolen by RJ Davis up ahead to Ingram he D it home that was a great defensive stop by RJ Davis not just a scorer anymore competing on the defensive end of the floor plays the
Three onone defensively the best possible way you [Applause] can wga popper shot no good bot another rebound two minutes till the half let’s see if they find [Applause] Bott Davis a pull up from three right in the face Joseph how about the backto back plays from RJ Davis the steal on the
Defensive end to throw it up ahead to Harrison Ingram for the dunk and then coming back knocking down the three ball with the contested hand in front of him to regain the lead for North Carolina [Applause] Joseph NORAD omir gets bacock on his back back tips it up and in the second
Jump from omir Bott did a great job recovering and defensively affecting the first shot but omir was the first off the ground for that second attempt to be able to tip it in one minute till the half extra pass and offensive foul on Ingram AJ Casey getting an opportunity
And make the best of it showing Jim Lena he can help this team does a great job moving his feet defensively you see the forarm come out from Harrison Ingram that’s going to be an offensive foul each and every time Bill Covington right on top of it Miami now with an
Opportunity to increase their lead and try to carry this momentum into the halftime locker room that’ll be the second on Ingram under a minute one-point lead for the kanes omir with the left hand Jim Lena feels as though nor Chad oir has an advantage against Armando
Bott when he has the ball on the perimeter it showed and great execution by Miami on that P Davis driving scoring off the glass we are seeing a number of great individual efforts already in the first half of this game w onepoint lead from [Applause] Miami P will hold it for the last
[Applause] shot PS way off B cut the board and Carolina will go into the locker room down one keep in mind over Carolina trying to win three straight that would be the just the second time in program history they have done that last time Miami has won three straight over North Carolina
2013 2014 and yes it was Jim L andega who did that accomplished that popper lost it kadoo back the other way pushing driving and tied up by NAD omir great job by omir getting back and for Elliot Kad that really was nowhere to go and that one I love his aggressiveness and
Hubert Davis wants him to stay in attack mode but that’s one he’s got to draw the defense and kick it out Davis Corner three no good omir the board by the way Jim Lena and his team 12- two when they’ve LED at the Half at three good great recognition by wle pop seeing the Trap once he caught the basketball knowing that there were two Defenders guarding Nigel pack knew that the opposite side would be open through a blind pass biggest lead of the game from Miami stolen by Cleveland
Spinning and the tip is no good Ingram snags the board and here comes the tar Hills Ryan in transition kak Ryan knocking down his second three-point field goal of the afternoon Ryan was 0 for six from three against Clemson on Tuesday and one of 10 from the field encouraging sign for
North Carolina to see him get going Cleveland thought about the three omir will take it here comes David bacot calling for it he’s calling for it he’s got him on his hip got to get it whenever you can look at your teammate who’s posting up and you see
His number you see that 5 on front that that basketball has to be delivered Bott working hard on the inside against omir and simple for the simple fact that you got to do whatever you can to Tire omir down and try to get him into foul trouble and five count
Turnover that’s the ninth for Carolina ends up being a dead ball turnover and again I’d like taking the 5-sec call in comparison to turning it over live turnover or calling the timeout simply because you have an opportunity to set your defense poer challenge by Ryan that’s a grown man rebound by arond Bott
With another grown man going after it Nadia and stolen Joseph the corner poer good look for wer popper who’s over 40% three-point shooter but Nigel pack was open on the other side benley Joseph just didn’t see him and he’s been the hot guy you want to try to get the
Basketb on his hands as much as you possibly can B Cott sets the screen rolls Ingram the three knocked it down that’s the spot for North Carolina we watched cor M Ryan hit one from there now Harrison Ingram backs it up to give North Carolina the two-point lead back and forth we
Go and that bump by cor M Ryan that’ll be his third RJ Davis coming off the screen to roll recognizing there will be attention whenever he uses the screen the crosscourt pass right in the shooting pocket for Harrison Ingram to knock down a big three popular three no
Good he’ll call that one on Armando Bott and that’s the battle we’ve all been waiting to see Bott and omir underneath we talked about Armando had a grown man rebound on the last possession this time omir picks up the foul Joseph open missed that three popper kicks it out wide
Open in and out can’t get it to [Applause] fall Davis pushing and draws the [Applause] foul oh we got a technical foul on NAD omir coming out of the [Applause] scramble and it had to have been something that was [Applause] said Paul cells giving the explanation to Jim Lara and Coach [Applause]
L coach L with a couple of words for NORAD omir as we see after the foul call the crowd is not happy about the call and omir just very vocal with Paul sells on that one enough to where SS decides has been enough he’s going to issue the technical foul to calm it
Down but I’m not sure that will calm down anything in this building I think it may make it just a little more Rowdy lead is now four as Davis will go to the line now Carolina all of a sudden on this 80 run make it nine you s a nine 90% free
Throw shooter to the line for two technical free throws and then two more for him who was fouled on a shooting foul and just like that an opportunity to get a six-point separation between the two teams and a four-point possession for the tar Hills so it’s a 10 run now and a
Six-point lead for Carolina here’s the dribble hand off weave and they’ll get bacock with the bump it’s second and after the technical foul this game is going to be caught a little tighter from here on out so any bumps are going to be called especially when they’re done in the open floor like
On that last possession Cleveland his three is short pass stolen great play by benley Joseph there recognizing where he was on the floor oh and he drives and lays it in benley Joseph was the star a week ago in the second half against Virginia Tech on this floor
Play Big in that second half and now trying to make plays to help his team get a win here against North Carolina Davis jump stop no bott’s there to clean it up that’s Armando bott’s strength that’s his superpower right there he has been an unbelievable offensive rebound the entire
Time since he walked on campus at the University of North Carolina and comes up with two big Second Chance points on that he’s got nine boards a double and stolen kadoo he will lay it in they double pack but give Bott a tremendous amount of credit for the Trap is staying with the
Hedge with Nigel Pac forcing him to throw that pass across his body which was a pick six for Elliot kdo and there another offensive foul on Matthew Cleveland setting the pick great atmosphere here at the Watson RJ Davis taking the challenge of guarding Nigel pack and you see the Trap
Armando Bott stepping up just got called for a foul still stays with the head and look at the pass that Nigel pack is forced to make across his body Elliot kadoo with the pick six going the other way for the easy layup in North Carolina with their defense stepping up here to
Start this second half in the midst of a 14-2 run over the last 333 and meanwhile Miami has missed eight of their last nine shots here’s Ingram inside to bot Bott misses the bunny and that’s one where Bott has to finish but more importantly it’s better for him to take
That shot then throwing it out for a less aggressive opportunity but love to see him go stronger to the rim but he has to be more aggressive in order for this team to be successful here’s the bunk by cor M Ryan and that’s going to be the fourth foul
On Cor M Ryan Paxton wji will enter the game and we also have to mention North Carolina playing without Seth Trimble for the second straight game Seth Trimble probably the best perimeter Defender for these North Carolina Tar Hills and they miss him at times like this yeah didn’t play against Clemson
Not playing again tonight P fading missing vott board he’s got 10 of them Kau open three no good here comes pack tried to draw the foul on [Applause] Bott I love that no call there however Tommy Mory on top of it does not call the foul on Bott because he stood his
Ground on that possession however Harrison Ingram does pick up a foul and now the foul starting to mount up on the tar Hills their fifth foul here already of the second half Ingram’s now got three cormack Ryan’s got four of [Applause] them five on the shot clock for Nigel
Pack Joseph Drive lays it in and it was the same possession the same trap however Paxton wji just unable to get there he was right on top of it just unable to get there but not not being able to get that steal allows benley Joseph to have a driving lane for the easy
Two driving the Baseline Wii [Applause] kadoo back to Ingram in the corner and he draws the foul and Joseph he’ll go to the line and shoot three great decision by Elliot cadu just missed the three gets into the Gap and then finds the shooter Harrison Ingram on the
Wing although he’s unable to knock it down has an opportunity to the free throw line to put three more on the board for the tar Hills he’s the junior out of Dallas he was the co- ACC player of the week just last week don’t forget six college basketball games on our schedule
Today the biggie fourth rank Kansas hosting 13th rank Baylor big 12 Sonic Blockbuster it is next 6 Eastern 3 Pacific I was telling you the first half BC I never caught a game at fog Isen however I did play there on the USA team we had training camp there because my coach was
Won Roy Williams and so therefore we spent a week in Lawrence Kansas and we had exhibition game and there is my guy Old Roy we had an exhibition game there and was sold out to come watch a USA Basketball scrimmage I about that head shot block here come the jar
Hills Davis inside B cotton he’s held counted by omir they say no basket but once again Armando Bott working hard to get the basketball whether the shot counts or not that’s not the important part the important part is he gets it and omir gets another
Foul so now that’s the third on nor Chad omir and if you’re North Carolina that is the best possible sign for you because Miami is a completely different team in a much better fashion when nor Shadow Mir is on the floor he’s got to have a seat here’s bot going right to
Work count it and one this is the aggressive Amando Bott that everyone is chiming for in the first half we saw the Armando Bott Georgia Tech style when he goes for nine points and nine rebounds this second half Armando Bott is the young man who’s had backto back 20 and 10
Games which he now has 25 of for his career that’s on Michael noo who’s come in for NORAD omir free throw no [Applause] good B cut is now four points away from another double [Applause] double here’s NOCO Michael noo who started the Syracuse game with NORAD oir starting to get more and more experience Jim Lara loves what he does just understands that he’s inexperienced into Bay again he DPS it home and he’s now the third all-time leading scorer in Carolina
History and mama said that’s my baby boy there’s Christy she’s up she’s on her feet yelling as Armando Bott her son catches it in the post and finishes strong the tar Hills finding some momentum here on the road building a 10-point lead in Coral that list Ralph Samson Tim
Duncan and now amondo B playing in his 156th game which is a record as you mentioned earlier the most ever played in the Carolina [Applause] blue wga popper with five on the shot clock oh the crossed over and missed the jumper jakai Robinson coming off the bench the beautiful move move unable to
Finish as Elliot Kad just runs back smiling he knows he’s going to see that later however with Robinson not making the shot I’m not sure it’ll be on Sports Center yeah I was going to say that was that was Sports Center top 10 written all over you knock down this Shot you know what we’ll show it anyway we’ll show it anyway cuz in the park this is what we call million dooll move gotcha 10 cent shot K Robinson with the beautiful drop but it can’t get it to Go play in those games we’ve had some here already Carolina and Miami as RJ Davis will go to the line Brian let me tell you talk about that Baylor Kansas game coming up next do you know who what big man teamed up with Armando Bott to win a peach jam
Title back in I believe that was 2017 teammates Dickinson Hunter Dickinson and Armando Bay can you imagine that front line gosh and Justin Moore from Villanova I mean those guys were great one of the best aou teams I’ve seen out of Team Takeover wow [Applause] DC here’s Jose nor J omir checked back in Joseph off Tipp back out but to [Applause] Davis bott’s working hard Ingram floater and he’ll go to the [Applause] line so much attention being paid now to Armando Bott especially with omir in foul trouble with those three three woko just
Challenging recklessly out giving Harrison Ingram an easy driving lane to get to the ACC for the pullup and I see you’re a floater guy you you like floating oh I yeah I can’t [Laughter] stand Nigel P will check back in you know keep in mind pack and
Omir combin with 34 points in that first half here in the second half zero and that’s been the difference this North Carolina team defensively was the best defensive team in the league in the month of January now Virginia may have taken those rigns in February but with North Carolina and
With their ability what they can do defensively hu Davis told us in the pregame they’ve slipped a little bit over the last couple games they’ve got to get that back but if they get that back this is a team that cannot just win the ACC they can win it all he said he
Told is rebound and play get back to playing our defense in this game as nooku noo knocks down that jump hook and noo with an advantage over Harrison Ingram a much taller player on the [Applause] Block Ingram sets the screen and that injury pass they tried
To get it inside to Bon that’s a tough angle but love the fact that bill Covington Tom Warson coming together on that to make sure they got that call correctly Elliot Kad trying to feed it and you see woko does get a handle that basketball that’s the right call as Jim
Lena looks on Coach L has to be a lot happier as we see Nigel pack limping off the floor grabbing his left knee look like and that with the health concerns that Miami had all year that’s another one where coach L can’t afford to watch oh Runner by [Applause] Davis Jaylen Robinson with an offensive foul see if the kanes can get a bucket here well with Nigel pack having to go out of the game interesting to see where they get their scoring from popper too [Applause] strong and hop out the reverse up and in and jaki Robins has given Miami positive
Minutes that’s his first bucket but does a great job defensively and now coming up with the offensive Rebound in the second chance point oh they’re working on Nigel pack on the bench and there’s a three by RJ Davis BC hasn’t he had the answer all evening long all evening long Davis with
25 averages 21 and it’s been a relatively quiet 25 yeah it hasn’t been the explosive I watched him go for 36 against Wade Force about a month ago which is his career high another offensive rebound Second Chance opportunity for North Carolina Armond Bott with another [Applause] rebound it’ll stay with the tar Hills
With 9 minutes left in this game I think Nigel pack look heading to the locker room Miami already playing without keesan George Matthew Cleveland I talked to him pregame he’s about 75% wga popular maybe 80 but this mind team just cannot find its way to being Healy tar Hills attacking the board the
Buler finally pulls it [Applause] out oh how about that wer hey he made have sold it a little bit all you got to do is you got to see does the forearm extend wer popper on the drive D wji gets in front if that forearm extends it’s an automatic call whether they sell
It or not both teams with 11 turnovers Davis a step back three W tried to tip it out baset and it’ll go to the kanes Paxon wji getting minutes as we look at the numbers you mentioned it earlier BC 34 points combined between Nigel Pac and nor Chad oir 16 and 18
Respectively in this second half 0 for six from the field nothing going on the offensive end here’s omir now working on Bott left hand yes but that’s a tough finish for North NORAD omir again you you never want to give up two points but if they have to
Work that hard to get them you simply hey Pat him on the back great job you go down but one of the things about North Carolina you’re going to have to stop them from scoring on the other end oh how about that dime by The Freshman
Davis kick out Kad for three tell you what we’ve seen Elliot kadoo much more confident shooting the three in this game if he gets the confidence to start taking and making more of those this North Carolina team will flat out Unstoppable RJ Davis in attack mode getting downhill into the paint finds
His backourt partner The Freshman Elliot Kad he got time to line it up get the laces right BC knock down the three ball who is now on the Nay Smith Basketball Hall of Fame balling and Walter Davis should absolutely be in the Hall of Fame as we see Nigel packed back
On the floor and back to business the opportunity for the and one we just watched Nigel pack go to the locker room or whatever they did it worked because as soon as he steps back on the court he’s back to getting buckets hitting with that Mr Miyagi and he’s
Back you know our audience might be too young to know about Miaki you’re right wax on wax off tell you what also on that nsmith ballot alongside the late great Walter Davis is my young fell Vince s that’s right Vince Carter who’s played the NBA record 22 seasons and Shout out since you’re
Talking about that Julius pord right Pro Football Hall of Fame Football Hall of Fame so play for this Carolina basketball team yep pack misses the three still limping somewhat and you know what Julius Peppers didn’t just play oh he was Julius Peppers has a 21- 10 rebound game
In the NCAA tournament that’s more than just being on the team no no no no he was a he was a player oh Ingram that one’s too [Applause] hot 10-point lead for Carolina 640 to play you talked about Julius Peppers second round pick of the 2002 NFL draft
And who can forget what he did for this team especially in that Elite eight game against Tennessee Ron Haywood had fouled out helped Propel the Carolina Squad to the final four did I get for three I I can’t let you do that you said second round pick he was a second pick second
Pi I’m sorry second pick you’re right you’re right that’s a difference in money yeah yeah you’re right oh yeah a lot of money who you talking about you right about that big three on that end for Miami allows the crowd to get back into it Davis had a wide open look nor jet
Omir snags the board and Davis has normally been the answer he’s been the guy that’s responded for North Carolina but a cost turnover yeah popper stepped out of bounds and that’s going to be the 12th turnover of the game for Miami their magic number is 11 or less this is a
Team that averages 12 and 1 half turnovers per game and an opportunity to cut into this lead a little more ends up being a turnover giving North Carolina the basketball back with breathing room turnovers at certainly been a Bugaboo for the canes of late Davis step back three that’s no
Good that’s a great contest by North Chad oir they got numbered Cleveland pulls up got it turn around jump good lead is now just five smart play by Matthew Cleveland recognized he got a smaller guard on him gets to a spot raises up knocks down the jumper
Cuts the lead to Five Points for the heels 70 run Bai rocks the rim wer popper went down on that possession 79th career double double for Amando Bott you see W’s popular slip on the wet spot nor Chad omir caught in between whether to go take away the shooter or get back to
Bott in the quick find to Bott who’s able to dunk it and pick up that 79th career double [Applause] double five minutes left in this [Applause] game here’s omir he’ll call that on Bott that’s going to be the third on Bott great decision by omir putting Bott
In Drive he’s had success with that we saw a lot of it in the first half and now he has the opportunity to get to the free throw line this is huge for Miami because you know in the second half Carolina has shot 12 free throws Miami just one but Carolina’s been the
More aggressive team again you know of Miami fans will look at that and say oh North Carolina got all the calls but the reality is North Carolina created those calls attacking the paint and trying to get the basketball inside DEA and omir missed it and of course you
Want to come back you’ve got to take care of those opportunities that’s the front end of a one and one miss and a missed opportunity to to cut into the lead with the clock stop they Blitz Kadoo Cormac open in the corner no tipped out by Ingram look at Harrison got making those plays these are the winning plays that Harrison Ingram makes he comes out of nowhere to tap the basketball out not only do you get another shot attempt but you kill more
Time off the clock cut down L it in the Freshman blew right past [Applause] Cleveland Elliot kadoo with 18 strong performance by Elliot kdo especially on the [Applause] road under four [Applause] minutes Joseph step back three no Davis runs it down and knocked away from him RJ Davis saying Nigel pack in front
Should have simply just played oneon-one on that possession popler ends up being a four-point swing which should have been a easy two Nigel pack still limping around gimpy if RJ David attacks him that’s pretty much a short two and the turnover ends up being an easy bucket on the other end
Allowing Miami to make it a seven-point game to 13 rebounds but it’s really been Elliot kadoo that’s been the robin to the RJ Davis Batman throughout this game a career-high 18 points for Elliot Kad who’s been very aggressive becoming that third or even fourth score yeah with Harrison Ingram
In the mix as well for the Tar Hill freshman’s been great today he has been fantastic for Carolina and then the kick out Davis extra pass Ingram from the corner in and out there’s Bott to tip it out they’ll start it up again and use some of that
Clock they’re going to run the exact same action as before to get that screen up top for RJ Davis it was Kad on the first part of this possession Davis tried to get it inside to Bott Ryan has it stripped and here comes Joseph back the other way
230 left on the clock and Jim Leno will call a timeout we’ll take a quick break 229 left in this one Carolina on look at out making sure you hit that bed on time action to try to get najel pack a look coming off the screen but RJ Dave
Was doing the job defensively as well air ball by pack and let’s see did they get Bott for that one yeah they did no they got yes so that’s going to be fourth fourth foul on Bott 214 remaining and a game th this game is far from over seven
Points seven-point lead for North Carolina opportunity to get two at the free throw line for omir this could be a five-point game and 214 that’s a lot of time to play with four fouls especially for guys who physical is Bott [Applause] Noir both the free throws are good lead
Is five I think we mentioned it earlier Carolina 0 and four this season in game decided by six points or [Applause] less 2 minutes five point [Applause] lead the Freshman turns it over up ahead to omir the follow by Poler lead is three here comes the crowd and wat go Reach In by
[Applause] popper the Great trap off the screen you see NORAD omir getting out Kad with nowhere to go on that possession omir is unable to finish it but give wler a lot of credit not assuming his teammates going to finish there for the twoand followup dunk but popper committing the
Foul at midc court sending Elliot Kad to the free throw line and the Freshman is 63% you said it this game is not over 60 run by [Applause] Miami one of two a little bit more breathing room but the momentum completely on the side of the Hurricanes here on their home
Court cutting into this lead notice how pack lead it to Joseph to bring it [Applause] up here’s Joseph driving the extra pass Inside poer Yes off the glass two-point lead great decision by benley Joseph not settling but getting to the rim and dropping it off for the layup for wer POA one minute
Left two-point lead for Carolina they’re on their feet here at Watco High screen by bot Davis he’s always had the answer that was rejected by omir BC I’m not sure rejected has enough emphasis on what just happened here this is more than rejection that’s more like a SP one run
By Miami Carolina has not made a field goal in the last 3 minutes and 30 [Applause] Seconds cor M Ryan will inbound to Davis nearly stolen it is stolen Ryan almost got it back benley Joseph making plays we talked about how he was such an influence for Miami in the second half last weekend vers Virginia Tech he does it again comes up with the loose ball
The steal corack Ryan give him a lot of credit getting back defensively stopping what would be the easy two for Matthew Cleveland but Miami now an opportunity to tie or even take a lead Carol Carolina has put up four turnovers in the last 330 of this game
Yeah wiga poppular looking over to Jim Lara asking do we have any timeouts making sure kanes can tie it or take the lead inside omir blocked by bot and Ingram was fouled by pack what a play by the big man we highlighted this matchup from the
Opening of our show North chir does a great job carving out space but amond bacock coming up with a big block shot and that’s just the difference in being 610 611 with the wingspan Bott omir having a little conversation over there but both guys with a
Smile Ingram two of five from the line here today he shoots 56% and with that Miss still a onep possession game even if he makes this one a three can TI got it down three no timeout Miami one of 12 from [Applause] three here in his second half here’s
Pat got beide on him he’ll pull up it’s short omir tried to chase it down with all of that time Miami had enough time to drive it and try to get it easy two or a kick out however Nigel Pac has been the guy I don’t mind that
Shot but at the same time they could have taken the two and just made it a one-point game do you mind it with the time left on the clock that I think they killed a lot of time to be able to do it I think on the initial action when you
Don’t have the three try to drive it get downhill see if you can get a layup that’s Nigel pack with Amando bacock guarding him 30 ft from the basket I’ll take Pack’s chances on that here’s the foul and corack Ryan can salt this one away he’s a 87% free throw shooter it’ll
Be his first time going to the line in North Carolina not has just one in RJ Davis but two very reliable experienced guys going to the free throw line at this stage of the game karmac Ryan in his sixth season in college basketball he’s got a lot of experience
In these moments Notre Dame transfer good not the a transfer via Stanford transfer so I can tell you right now corm Ryan’s got some heavy Hardware hanging on the wall I can tell you that buddy but he’s also got ice in his veins at this point of the game he’s been here
So many times to try to ice [Applause] wins second one to rolls off here’s [Applause] popper and draws the foul on Bott and that will be his fifth he’s fouled [Applause] out [Applause] and the players looking over to the bench as Elliot kadoo checks in they’re saying bring us some size Intel rebound because the only way of course that and that’s a great call by Harrison Ingram cormack Ryan both the transfers Hubert Davis talking to the officials about the coach larga using
And you get 30 seconds right I mean at the end of the day you have your time someone fouls out you get your [Applause] time here’s wer he knocked down that first free throw now here’s the one right here this is the rebound you have to get youber Davis going to go with
Jayen Washington coming into the game and now you put the size out there because of course Miami wants to be able to tip it out on a intentional Miss tip it out to their gu beyond the three-point on someone got to make sure they’re covering up Nigel [Applause]
Pack here’s the hard Miss did it go off Carolina I do believe it did however at this point you can go review it under 2 minutes the officials can come to the Monitor and look to see who it was off of and you see chasing over there’s Harrison Ingram and then there’s Matthew
Cleveland and it looks like that is off Ingram that’s going to be Miami’s basketball with an opportunity underneath Ingram did hit that last great work by our camer cre baby went off the fingertips of Harry Harrison Ingram you see it once again that right hand as Harrison Ingram tries to go gather the
Basketball absolutely hits it out the don’t even need to go look at this they’ve seen it in live action no for [Applause] certain North Carolina going to take the [Applause] timeout so they’re going to call a violation there’s a violation there is a violation that’s why they’re not going
To give it to Miami a violation they’re saying Miami ran in beyond the three-point line the three-point line so the basketball has to hit the rim before you can enter if you’re outside the three-point line the ball has to hit the rim before you can break the plane and so the violation negates
Everything going on with the basketball going out of bounds North Carolina calling the timeout you see outside you look at Matthew Cleveland as soon as the ball goes up he’s inside the three-point line so you heard it he broke the plane before it hit the rim Bill comington coming over explaining Matthew Cleveland
Before the basketball hits the rim and it actually hit the backboard first Cleveland was already had already broken the plane so that is the absolute correct call by the officials on that one you see Matthew Cleveland to the top right he breaks the plane now however the ball hits the backboard
Before it hits the rim so he’s already across the line yeah it’s close it’s close but that’s the right call 2.1 left Ingram inbounding they get it to Ryan and that’s it Carolina wins it what a game Yuber Davis gets his first SN over Miami our final score Carolina 75 Miami
The No. 3 North Carolina Tar Heels escaped Coral Gables with a 75-72 win over the Miami Hurricanes. RJ Davis scored a game-high 25 points while Elliot Cadeau added 19 and Harrison Ingram chipped in 13 points for Hubert Davis’ club. Norchad Omier and Nijel Pack each scored 20 points to pace Jim Larranaga’s team in a losing effort.
