State dominates on road at #20 Pitt, 78-61

15-16 Basketball34

Who saw that coming?

Well, not as many fans as usually might see it because WRAL-TV5 is off the air on DirecTV! RRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG

You don’t believe that #NCStateShit exists? How about the fact that many die hard Wolfpack fans have loyally committed to half a season of miserable basketball while attending home games and watching road games on television only to have the ONE great game of the season blacked out by a business dispute by two companies. Un-frckin-believable.

The 78-61 win at Pitt (previously #21 in the RPI) is easily State’s marquee win of the season and should serve to get the Pack back into the Top 100 of the RPI. Woo-hoo!!! Barring a miracle run the rest of the season, the win also gives State fans a little hope that the team can muster enough wins over the rest of the season to stay above .500 and participate and have a chance to participate in the NIT (better than a lot of alternatives that were shaping up before Tuesday night’s upset).

    I missed it as well. Texpack Sr. had a stroke last night so I was involved in that. He’ll be ok and even though he still didn’t know what year it was he responded to the news of the victory with a solid Go Pack! Thanks to Gott and the team for a timely and much appreciated boost.

    Very solid win on the road. Makes you go hmmmmm. Maybe this team can make something of itself. We’ll see.

    We’re a long way off the NIT. If you look the past few years, only the bubble teams that didn’t get in the dance have gone. We are no where close to a bubble team today. Would have to get much closer to a .500 record for any consideration. Not trying to take anything at all away from the win, just stating that we are still a very long way off from any postseason talk, thanks to our 0-5 conference start.

    Also, not catching Duke at a particularly good time as they’ve lost three in a row. It may be that they aren’t any good. But they are going to bring the energy Saturday, and we need to match it.

    Seems like every time Capitol Broadcasting’s carriage contract comes up for renewal they try to play hardball and roll out their “we’re a family company versus a mean ole billion dollar enterprise” line to the public. Did it a few years ago, doing it now. On the other hand, this is not Direct’s first rodeo with a local station, and they’re going to try to pay the average market rate and no more.

    Truth is, CBC is as much a “family” business as SAS is.

    And if I have to pull out the OTA antenna, it will be to get the Greensboro CBS station, WFMY.

    Love beating a former flavor-of-the-month in his own house. Wish I could’ve seen it on TV!

    They want a cut of that AT&T money.

    Need to rebound and hit shots of course, but will also need to remember we’re playing 5 on 8.

    Prayers to Texpack. This goes to show what happens when I check out and think the game is on Wednesday, not Tuesday. Oh well, at least we won one.

    Alpha, Channel 2’s tower is about 15 miles south of Greensboro along US220. If you’re within 70 air miles of it, you should get it with a rooftop, preferably a UHF antenna. WFMY has a 2000-foot tower and gets into most of Wake County with an outdoor antenna. Fox will be harder via Channel 8, whose tower is also in the same area slightly south, but is only 1250 tall. I get it some of the time but height is the deal with HD signals over 35-40+ miles away.

    If Channel 5 doesn’t settle this thing before Sunday’s Panthers game, it probably won’t be until the end of February before a resolution. If it’s settled by Saturday at 2pm, State is probably doomed!

    I didn’t get to watch due to the split ACCN split (and I’m in the market that got UVA). I saw the score and it looks like we jumped out on the early, and all members of NC State took frustration out on Pitt. It also feels like we played our best game of the year. Much needed and timely.

    I’m afraid we’re not catching Duke at a good time. There’s no way K or the ACC is going to let them get to a losing conference record.

    I think we generally match up with Duke well in years past but not this year. Too slow on the perimeter minus Cat. Better play zone and hope they’re cold. Scoring in the 30s per half ain’t going to cut it.

    Just as I was getting comfortable in my apathy, they pull something like this…argh.

    Not really. Late in the first half, Pitt was shooting 18.8% from the field and ended the game at 36.7%. Hard to win when you can’t hit anything besides the floor with the ball.

    For me, the pleasant surprise was State’s good rebounding.

    Duke is not only mad, they have the refs gushing all over them for the screw job at the end of the Syracuse game. (if you haven’t seen the post game interview, do it. It’s ‘amazing’). We will have to play 2 halves as good as the first last night to even have a ‘chance’. Our bigs won’t be playing much.

    Pitt shot 18% first half, we shot better and were very active on the glass. Our offensive sets are still as they have always been. Interior passing is atrocious, and if not for Cat we may only score 30 points a game. On a year with no expectations I’m enjoying every win we can muster. I was able to watch the game, televised locally here in the triad area.

    Starting Cody Martin has really helped settle the team down by cutting down on all the heat checks and showing more of commitment to getting the ball down low…working inside out.

    I wonder if having five other players on the floor trying to stop them from scoring was a factor in that poor shooting %.
