State/BC Game Thread

With the league officials (no problem to the Atlantic Coast Cabal leadership, apparently – see the thread below) already making a statement that it will be 5-on-8 the whole way…the Pack will take the court shortly. Good thing NC State can and should handily dispatch the Eagles under such dire circumstances.

That will be a much taller order against the Cavaliers. Hope DeThaey likes guarding Mike Scott for 20+ minutes.

    We could have gotten each of our starters 10+ minutes of rest today but we had to F* around too much.

    The alley oop was our designed play for about 10 consecutive plays at one point.

    THAT would be on sportscenter if ESPN wasn’t run by a UNX grad…

    My wife, an AVID BB fan and we have attended most of the last 15 ACC Tourney’s, except in Atlanta, must saw the “crowd” shot and said…

    “theres nobody THERE!” Did I marry the pick of the litter or what…

    PS, we have been married for 46 1/2 years….so I know NOT to comment on her astute observation…

    Really ridiculous that no one is there.

    The BC players all looked around – what was that Brown just did? Is that legal in the basketball?

  10. ADVENTUROO 03/08/2012 at 4:55 PM #

    CLEAR the BENCH….WOO HOOOOOOOOOOO

    On to UVA…..

    Glad Kendall is in there.

    One good bank deserves another I guess.

  12. BladenWolf 03/08/2012 at 4:57 PM #

    De Thaey!

  13. BJD95 03/08/2012 at 4:57 PM #

    That’s the kind of attendance you get when you host your tourney in a city that only cares about UGA football.

    We win! We cover!! We get in the Red Team!!!

  14. BladenWolf 03/08/2012 at 4:57 PM #

    Wood was the difference. We better be more focused tomorrow.

  15. beeeejay 03/08/2012 at 4:58 PM #

    hahah DeThay with the flex pose for the bench after the follow dunk…….mark turgeon not impressed by the walkons trying hard

    We’ll struggle tomorrow. I hate to not be optimistic given the importance of the game, but i really feel that way. We’re just not a mentally tough team for 40 minutes. UVA will bog us down in the halfcourt, much like FSU, and we’ll struggle to score consistently. UVA is a smarter basketball team. They won’t beat themselves. If we don’t shoot 40% tomorrow and stay under 12 turnovers, we’ll lose.

  17. BJD95 03/08/2012 at 5:00 PM #

    I feel strangely super optimistic about tomorrow, for some insane reason.

  18. packbackr04 03/08/2012 at 5:00 PM #

    so, what are the odds we don Black uni’s tmrw?

  19. wufpup76 03/08/2012 at 5:02 PM #

    I feel optimistic, too.

    And btw, I thought the refs were just fine today. Outside of a couple of errant calls (which is completely normal) I thought they were consistent and even.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing Hull and Jones again.

    UVA is an VERY WELL coached team. It will be tough. Bennett can flat out coach…glad he quit singing in Vegas.

    Way too go Pack! Let’s beat the Cavs tomorrow

  21. logarithm 03/08/2012 at 5:07 PM #

    De Thaey played for about a minute and corralled 3 rebounds and 2 points in that time. Raymond has 3 points on perfect shooting in the same time. Extrapolate that! #badanalysis

  22. BJD95 03/08/2012 at 5:15 PM #

    I wanted Stats Battle to shoot, dammit.

  23. nouveau wolf 03/08/2012 at 5:16 PM #

    If you haven’t already, apologize to Wood for suggesting his minutes get cut(3 steals and a block deserves the D).

    If this were any other team, we probably lose.

    Should be a close game tomorrow, but it’s completely winnable. Hopefully we got our turd-laying and sleepwalking out of the way while we could, and we come out like gangbusters against the Cavs.

    Go Pack!

  24. Jediwolf 03/08/2012 at 5:18 PM #

    Way to go Pack! One down three to go!

    “If this were any other team, we probably lose.”

    I don’t agree with that argument. BC is just that sort of team that can make the other team look bad. Ugly games.
