Tourney time! NC State vs. Pitt Game Thread!

One score and 8 years ago, Jimmy V and Vinny D led their NC State team to a surprise championship in the 1987 ACC tournament. In three memorable games, the sixth-seeded Wolfpack would defeat each of their Big 4 rivals in succession: an overtime win over 3-seed Duke, a double-overtime win over 7-seed Wake Forest, and a 1-point win over the top seeded Cheats. Classic ‘Cardiac Pack’ March magic. The Wolfpack have been unable to stand alone on the ACC mountaintop since. There have been some fun runs since, but no titles. Twenty-eight years.

The 2015 Wolfpack stand at least a reasonable chance to end that drought and deliver something long sought after and truly cherishable to the University and fanbase: some meaningful postseason hardware. If this season’s squad is going to conjure some ‘Classic ‘Pack March magic’ they start tonight against Pitt.

Lots of activity on the site, and we’ve got a fun ACC / Conference tourneys open thread going in the forums. Please jump in and share your thoughts. If you can’t be arsed to get over to the forums, feel free to use this thread to talk about the day session at the ACC tournament. Lots of good discussion going on in other threads, too.

Go Pack!

    One thing about these jerseys is that you can clearly see how much we’re getting held … Jersey tops are constantly untucked from Pitt grabbing

    Freeman still has more shot attempts than Lacey. We do need to get Turner and Lacey going.

    The uniforms make it look like our shorts are falling down. The block logo at the back top neck of the jersey looks good though. Overall – do not like.

    Kitty Power is awesome.

    The State win GIF had me laughing so hard my side hurt. LOL

    I’m watching on Raycom / ACC network for tradition’s sake plus Dan Bonner! I also get Hardees’ commercials.

    I literally just got it done, right before my game reminder popped up. Great idea, love the dialog! 🙂 Maybe I’ll do an animated GIF to add that…

    I happen to dig the look.

    Now, if someone low wants to move their ass, we won’t concern ourselves with #1 and #22 lookin’ to get theirs at this juncture.

    Two incredibly cheap fouls on Lacey … the type you’d expect to see against the Cheats

    RT getting his bricks laid in the first half as usual. No problem.
