I’ve seen a comment in one of the forum threads predicting that ACC teams will go to a box and 1 to stop Cat. I would think that a zone would be more likely. We pretty much know what Gott has, so let’s see what Buzz rolls out….
Needless to say…MUST WIN GAME.
Agreed Va. I’d 3-2 the hell out us until our bigs could prove otherwise.
Yea, gotta win this won with what we have coming up.
Northeastern is MUCH better than VPI. Play like we did that game, and we should roll this afternoon. The castrated turkeys just lost their best guard to a broken foot, too.

Guilty. You may be right about the zones, but perhaps GFK and Twin A can make teams hgthat zone pay.
We have no shot to win games where Cat doesn’t score 20+ so that will be the absolute focus of the defenses we encounter.
They aren’t shooting well from outside, we aren’t guarding well from outside. Given Pack luck, sounds like a formula for VT to fill it up.
Pomeroy is picking them by 1, but that probably doesn’t consider the loss of Clarke. You’d have to think we are favored, even though it is a road game.
Big Questions for me:
Can Cat keep up the number of minutes without being less effective?
Can Mav handle teams game planning for him?
Can the bigs limit the fouls enough to be effective in league play?
Can the bigs score enough to take some of the pressure off the perimeter?
Are we EVER going to start using our athleticism to play defense?
I didn’t even realize we played today until just now. Just happened to check the schedule to see when our next game was and apparently it’s in 2 minutes. Nice! Go Pack!
For those curious, we are favored by 2.5
^ Timing is everything. Well done, Sir.
Take the Pack and the points. Feelin’ frisky!
Fastest turnover ever?
The joys of ESPN3! Lost the sound
Good help so far. Active Hippo is a good NC State.
Does Buzz have less neck than usual today?
Scoring is slow to start.
Ugly game so far.
Agreed it is a must win.
Doubling Abu? Must not have access to any game video on us.

Hard to get less than none
Scar
Scared to take against anya
Twin A with a little Buckets action. Interesting.
Cat looks good early
Holy shit, KH is in full-on BEAST MODE today. VPI is scared shitless of him. Changed the game completely.
Anyone pay attention to KH’s footwork those opening 6 minutes? Dunno if he specifically worked on that as part of his weight loss program (maybe he did tai-chi or boxing?) but man, were his feet QUICK.
Oh dear lord…I knew our bigs weren’t good from close in, but Abu just airballed a two footer, and it wasn’t even close to drawing iron. I mean….wtf?
Serious, I think Abu needs to see the eye doctor.
Agreed on KH. He’s also staying home on defense. Maybe he’s getting it.
