That one was a road game. The Herb Home Games at the RBC that I remember most were the Saturday afternoon late-game meltdown vs Syracuse, the 2OT loss to BC, the 10th-season 95-73 blowout vs UNC, the Clemson loss, the Saturday night UVA loss, and the Princeton NIT loss at Reynolds.
Then there were the road losses, including the Granddaddy of them all, the “Damon Thornton” loss at Maryland, not to mention the ACCT loss vs Duke when we blew a 15-point lead with 9 minutes to go. Just going to the game today and knowing Sendek won’t be on the sidelines will be heartwarming.
I think we’ll win this one because the team knows by now how important these OOC games are, especially the ones in late December. If only they can get “up” for the oncoming avalanche of ACC games in January and February.
But I agree with the time complaints. This one should have been played tomorrow at 4pm. I’m beginning to believe that if television told us to start it at midnight tonight, we’d comply. I’ll be there, and I predict a Pack victory.
