Road Trip to Winston-Salem 2Nite

When Wolfpack Basketball (10-5, 0-2) rolls into Winston-Salem tonight for a road tilt against the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest (9-5, 0-2), both teams will be looking to avoid an 0-3 start to league play.

In spite of two straight setbacks to begin ACC play, Mark Gottfried’s first 0-2 league start as head coach at NC State, he says he likes his team and that they’re “not far off”.

Despite their own 0-2 start, Wake has been impressive so far. They’re coming off a loss to Duke in which they were within 2 with less than 10 mins to play before Duke pulled away late. Prior to that, Danny’s Deacs went on the road and pushed Louisville to the limit before falling in the last two minutes.

Needless to say, this one is a must win for both clubs.

Tip time is 8pm.
TV is ESPNU

In honor of Lo Brown getting back to The Association, here’s some State/Wake highlights worth remembering…

    Nice Alias.

    This would be a good game for me to go to this evening. Good be very comfortably buzzed. But alas, you can get beers halftime and we’ll, better to avoid that altogether.

    I’ll watch until I get too depressed. If I was going to be Captain Sunshine, I would point out that this team has played fairly consistent defense. When you consider the lack of depth and how young Rowan is, it’s even more remarkable. Of course when a hot night is 40% from the field and 55% from the line! you have to play fairly consistent defense to be in the game for more than a half.

    I see this as a pretty even match up. Would be a valuable win on the road. If Abu plays like he did against Louisville, and Rowan and Martin can hit a decent percentage, I think we will take it.

    I did not like the results of any of the NFL fixtures (the Stillers win was arguably good for Denver since KC won, but yeesh who could root for that) and now I get to compound my depression with THIS??

    Yes, we are definitely entitled to extra hazardous duty pay but it’s part of the job just got to battle through it

    Abu has his shot again tonight.

    And his moves. Fortunately foul trouble as well.

    Think we’re in trouble obviously not ready can’t even get a game thread going. Where’s BotB with the winners thread?

    Abu got all the right moves but that ball just will not go in the hole for him

    He’s a more athletic Cozell McQueen. I wish he would focus on defense and rebounding and take whatever points come on the offensive glass and lobs.

    We got a lot of offensive rebounds against Louisville it’s continuing tonight.

    For a seldom used freshman Kirk sure not afraid to shoot

    If Kirk can play like this he will win us some games just because we won’t be so gassed in the second half of games.

    You can tell by the intensity how vital this game is to each side’s NIT resume.

    More Kirk please even though I’m afraid he’s going to get snapped in half.

    It’s tough to overcome when Rowan shoots 1-??

    In 2:15, Abu missed three shots, traveled, and committed 2 fouls. Basically took himself right out of the game.

    Thanks, Booboo…

    Three bigs = 7 fouls in 19 minutes.

    Second half should be ugly

    Cody Martin is your glue guy of the first half
