State UNC game thread

Since I started the game threads we are 3-0. Since I am obviously the reason we keep winning I will keep doing the game thread. Ironically I will not be watching the game or able to join the game thread as my wife committed me to attend her nephew’s daughter’s baptism. Sigh. That means someone else will need to carry on the nickname “Buckets” and start the new one “Player X”.

I have no idea how this game will go. They will be playing “small ball” and we will be looking to score in the paint. Whichever team is able to force their will on the other will win. We should be more consistent as we will not be relying on the three, so if UNC gets hot we need to minimize the damage and keep our heads. This will be a close but high scoring game. I think we win it 87-83.

    bench lesie and brown NOW put Wood and Lewis in. Looks like they are throwing the game for old friends.

    Yeah, now I am officially annoyed. This whole week has just been seven kinds of f-cked. Want to just crawl under the bed and hide after the last two minutes.

    We gave them a run on lazy stupid decisions. Come on Pack, tighten up, get back to even at half, and blow the baby blue bastards out in the second half.

    Credit to Doris Burke for calling a spade a spade.

    Unbeleivable how stupid we are playing on defense..why did Howell walk away from him????? Look clueless on defense.

    We are playing right not their hands. This is just really bad basketball all the way around. Gott needs to earn his pay here. Really poor ball.

    We are fortunate not to be down 15-20 pts.

    Coverage of a wrecked fence on ESPN … Quality TV option right there.

    How about the awful call that started their run

  16. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 4:39 PM #

    ^BJ… you had the same week I had….

    but if we can keep this close and get in the locker room …
    I think we might dominate the second half….

    stats look real good…

    Refs making sure State will not have a chance. I’ve seen this movie a hundred times.

  18. TheAliasTroll 02/23/2013 at 4:39 PM #

    our defense is absolute sh!t today.. it’s never been good, but it’s awful today

  19. eas 02/23/2013 at 4:40 PM #

    I think Gott may be on crack! I mean can he not see the $hitfest CJ is playing? And for goodness sakes put Lewis back in the game.

    I agee with Wufpacker, Burke is calling it like she sees it. She’s much better than most of the ESPN announcers.

  21. Whiteshoes67 02/23/2013 at 4:40 PM #

    How many times can you turnover the ball in one half? And UNC isn’t a defensive juggernaut. Piss poor performance so far. Silver lining, they’re still right there in the game.

  22. coach13 02/23/2013 at 4:40 PM #

    She will be fired…

  23. 808WOLF 02/23/2013 at 4:40 PM #

    Lazy ass defense!! Put a fcking hand up!!!

  24. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 4:41 PM #

    Howell is keeping us in this game by himself…

    Where is Tyler ??

  25. wufpup76 02/23/2013 at 4:42 PM #

    Jesus Christ they’re not gonna call a foul … Wow. If they call that touch on Howell but allow them to mug us then yeah it will be a long day.
