In a sport the place Elliot Cadeau was not effective–a regarding development (he is now 6-25 from the sphere within the final 4 video games)–Trimble was large off the bench.
5. Say this for Cadeau, although. He sat for a protracted chunk of the second half–ten minutes of sport motion. When he got here again in, he instantly went arduous to the rim and scored. That was precisely the kind of aggressive play Carolina wants from him on offense.

However Bacot had a stellar general half, together with two blocked pictures and aggressive play across the rim that countered the Spartans’ early aggressiveness. He shot eight free throws within the first half, changing seven.
8. These rebounding numbers modified within the second half, particularly offensively. The Tar Heels gathered in 5 offensive boards within the ultimate 20 minutes and turned them into 10 second likelihood factors. That was an vital a part of the offense–along with factors off turnovers, the place the Heels had 16–as Carolina stretched out the lead. The Spartans nonetheless received the general rebounding battle, 37-31.Â

That included a Harrison Ingram swish close to the buzzer after a Hubert Davis timeout to arrange the ultimate possession.
10. This isn’t precisely a secret, however opponents have determined to cease guarding Elliot Cadeau on the perimeter. It is a tantalizing place for the freshman–there is nobody inside a number of ft of him and he looks like he has to shoot it, but it surely’s apparent he would not have a variety of confidence within the shot proper now. He missed all 4 of his three-point pictures on Saturday.
11. Huge minutes late within the half from the Tar Heel bench. Paxson Wojcik had a pair rebounds and pushed one up the court docket that the Heels changed into a Davis three-pointer, and Jalen Washington had an energetic six minutes
