Game Thread: State Opens Against New Orleans In Hoops

Here’s a free audio link of the UNO play-by-play, and the game is on Pack Pass as well.

FINAL SCORE: NCSU 65 New Orleans 59

Note: be sure to scroll to the bottom to see ESPN’s scoreboard.  HT: MillerHighLife on PackPride.

0:14.1 64-59 Gonzalez to the line for two.  First shot: good.  Second shot: no good.

0:29.3 Costner — First shot: good.  63-57.  Second shot: good 64-57

0:29.3 left, 62-57 State to the line for two.  These could ice it.  TO UNO

0:44 62-57

1:10 60-55, State ball.  McCauley fouled on the shot. First shot, swish. Second shot, good.  62-55 60 ticks left.

1:46 State ball, State timeout, 60-55.

2:07 McCauley to the line, makes the first, then misses the second, but State keeps the ball.  60 – 55.

2:26 State 59 – UNO 55.

3:02 59 – 53 State, UNO ball after a turnover.

4:00 57 – 51 Pack.

7:57 Still 48-40 State.  State’s D is forcing UNO to take contested shots and the Pack is still outrebounding the Privateers.  The UNO network is really griping about the refereeing, but that seems to be the way it is on every radio network.  At least their play by play guy tells the score and time, something Gary Hahn ought to learn how to do.

9:16 State 48 – UNO 40 – State takes a :30 TO, UNO to line for 1 and 1.

10:22 State 48 – UNO 38

PACK IS IN THE BONUS the rest of the way.

11:49 NCSU 44 – UNO 38 — State is letting these guys hang around, but UNO has five team fouls and isn’t hitting everything they see anymore.

15:49 NCSU 35- UNO 33 — UNO is coming back to Earth a little, but NCSU is missing their share.

18:30 NCSU 33 – UNO 31

Fells is having a crappy game, IMO.  19:30 he’s called for palming after State has a chance to take the lead.  Then Trevor Ferguson backs it up with a foul.

HALFTIME NCSU 31- UNO 31

1:14 UNO 31 – NCSU 29

State is 9-23 and Costner has 13.

It’s wierd hearing the game being played on Corchiani Court, and UNO’s announcers are talking about it being a “special night.”

2:30 UNO 29 – NCSU 26

5:00 UNO 22 NCSU 20

7:28 UNO 19 NCSU 15

12:55 first half: UNO 9 – NC State 5 in a sloppy game where UNO is getting all the breaks…so far.

    alphawolf, we’re on the austerity plan too, eating a lot of soup. You probably know this already but packpass with video is $9.95 per month.

    wow, this building is really empty I’m not sure there are even a thousand fans there.

    Great … sounds like their saying Farnold is hurt … Fergs starts the 2nd half in place of Williams

    We force UNO to call a timeout on the first inbounds play of the 2nd half, so good start

  4. phillypacker 11/15/2008 at 8:54 PM #

    good job, state prevents inbounds pass forces a timeout!

  5. SaccoV 11/15/2008 at 8:55 PM #

    Notwithstanding the lack of intensity of the play-by-play fill-ins, State sounds the opposite of focused in the 1st half. However, 2nd half, opening portion, State forces a UNO timeout. My problem is with Fells. For a senior, he is still a turnover machine. He can hit the 3 but God, stop turning the ball over.

  6. phillypacker 11/15/2008 at 8:56 PM #

    state is playing a more aggressive man to man, but damn, fells cannot handle the ball

  7. BobPack 11/15/2008 at 8:56 PM #

    dang, we have atleast 3 traveling calls, but we are rebounding good.

  8. phillypacker 11/15/2008 at 8:57 PM #

    good double team forces a turnover

  9. wufpup76 11/15/2008 at 8:57 PM #

    Sounds like Fells is having a problem with turnovers tonight

  10. phillypacker 11/15/2008 at 8:58 PM #

    nice follow dunk by fells

  11. BobPack 11/15/2008 at 8:58 PM #

    fells has some hops!

  12. phillypacker 11/15/2008 at 8:59 PM #

    state is being very successful with a man to man that shifts into a trap following the ball

  13. SaccoV 11/15/2008 at 9:00 PM #

    Costner is starting to rebound. Fells is still a liability with the ball in his hands.

  14. phillypacker 11/15/2008 at 9:00 PM #

    Fells is not focused, he just got beat on a backdoor, good d by mccauley

  15. BobPack 11/15/2008 at 9:00 PM #

    i think just cause we have an open three doesn’t mean we have to take it, we can drive the basket. we gotta work it inside more, I can’t imagine that Lowe wants us to take so many 3’s

  16. wufpup76 11/15/2008 at 9:02 PM #

    Ok, sounds like a little better start to the 2nd half, 35-33 Pack at the first official timeout

    Radio guys are saying the D has stepped up a notch in the second half … Thank God, if so

    Hope Farnold is ok

  17. BobPack 11/15/2008 at 9:02 PM #

    UNO is missing layups, we have to take this from them.

  18. wufpup76 11/15/2008 at 9:07 PM #

    Ohh boy, Mays is in … Time to start praying

  19. redfred2 11/15/2008 at 9:08 PM #

    Fells??? With an assist??? While dribbling??? WTH???

  20. StateFans 11/15/2008 at 9:09 PM #

    score update?

  21. BobPack 11/15/2008 at 9:11 PM #

    42-38 pack

  22. wufpup76 11/15/2008 at 9:12 PM #

    44-38 Pack about 12 to go at the 2nd official timeout

  23. BobPack 11/15/2008 at 9:12 PM #

    we are driving to the basket and good things are happening!

  24. wpackman33 11/15/2008 at 9:13 PM #

    We look a lot better 44-38 pack. 11:49 to go. We seem to be more aggressive.
    Julius Mays just came in the game and has done okay. Sid is really rotating in a lot of people tonight.

  25. Alpha Wolf 11/15/2008 at 9:14 PM #

    State really needs to get a run going and put these guys away. A two-possession game is making me nervous…but what would an NCSU game be without a pounding heart and sweaty nerves?
