Winning 20 games with one of the easiest schedules UNC has ever played. 11-16 Pittsburgh just walked into Chapel Hill and dominated. Team is soft and unwatchable. Damn shame where UNC basketball is these days.
Everybody knew it was gonna be Hubert. Every coach they looked at had no qualifications to be coach at UNC. That's the problem with having this illusion that you have to hire someone from UNC.
It's not going to get better next year either
One of the easiest schedule UNC has ever played? Sounds pretty hyperbolic. Roy didn't win 20 games last year with a front court that had Kessler and Sharpe. K missed the tourney last year. Tony Bennett and Leonard Hamilton are having worse seasons with the players and teams they put together. But 20 wins for the first year coach, cooking with ingredients he didn't even shop for, isn't enough for the great UNC fanbase? Man it gets embarrassing sometimes at how whiny some in the fanbase get. I'm not specifically calling you whiny, but the comments left under the UNC Basketball IG and Twitter posts are downright nasty and unwarranted. Is this team soft? Absolutely. Is this team inconsistent? Absolutely. But most of the teams in the country are. Izzo lost to Northwestern and Penn St. Duke lost to UVA and FSU. Purdue lost to Michigan.
We got a young back court, Hubert had only a few weeks to plug holes in the paint with Sharpe and Kessler leaving PLUS recruit HIS first class. It's a challenge for anybody. I'm starting to wonder why everyone is so comfortable with publicly giving Hubert a short leash tho...
