KeymasterN.C. State (3-0) vs. South Florida (3-0) at 4pm today, PNC Arena
TV: EspnU (Channel 208 on DirectTv)
South Florida plays in the still tough AAC: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/teams/page/SFLA/south-florida-bulls
South Florida is 3-0 under first year head coach Orlando Antigua. This is Antigua’s first collegiate head coaching gig, though he is also the head coach for the Dominican National Team – following John Callipari in that role: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Antigua
Common opponents: Jackson St. The Bulls defeated Jackson St. 73-64 last Sunday. South Florida faces both Hofstra and Jacksonville in their next two contests, each of which are previous Pack opponents. South Florida’s other wins were vs. Flagler and @ UAB. (N.C. State, Hofstra, USF, and Jackson St. are part of some obscure pre-season event that I can’t be bothered to track down the name of).
History: South Florida last played in the NCAA Tournament in 2012, notching a couple of wins coming out of the ‘First Four’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Florida_Bulls_men%27s_basketballAccording to sports-reference .com, N.C. State and USF have only squared off once, and that was a 2010 NIT first round game that the Pack won, 58-57. http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/south-florida/head-to-head.html
(Become witness to this awe-inspiring in-bounds play) :
Prognosis: South Florida will likely take some lumps this season, trying to re-build a bit under Antigua. Still, they have a decent schedule and if the Pack can secure a victory this has a chance to be a decent RPI win (or at least not horrific like Jackson St. and Jacksonville).
Ok, let’s see what happens! Enjoy the game everyone!

ParticipantGott said they are similar to Hofstra but with a better inside game. Each game is going to get a little tougher from here on out.

ParticipantThere used to be a website that did live advanced stats with an estimated win percentage…
Does anybody remember the name of it, or know if it still exists?

Keymaster^I know exactly what you’re talking about but can’t think of the name of it … 🙁

Testes, testes, one, two….three?
Anyway, I found it, but can’t post it because, who knows.

ParticipantCoach says on the pregame radio…
We will be concentrating on keeping the ball out of the paint on the defensive end…
USF has averaged 20 TOs a game this season…
I look for us to take advantage of their ball handling…
… as that will help out bigs… Coach say all four will get plenty of minutes..
We shall see…Should be a good one..

Participant^thanks, Bill. Will we try to apply more perimeter pressure, or just play solid until USF coughs it up?
11/23/2014 at 3:59 PM #62216wufpup76
KeymasterLooks like Aggies and Lobos will finish on time, to boot!
11/23/2014 at 4:03 PM #62217Wufpacker
ParticipantCan get a good read on WVU later vs UConn.
11/23/2014 at 4:05 PM #62218wufpup76
KeymasterAnya has moved into the starting line-up for today’s game
11/23/2014 at 4:06 PM #62219Wufpacker
ParticipantThe Hippo show carryover. Woo!!!
11/23/2014 at 4:07 PM #62220pakfanistan
ParticipantLacey gets a lot of rebounds for a guard.
11/23/2014 at 4:10 PM #62221wufpup76
KeymasterLooked over the back there
And didn’t see that foul on Anya … we’ll have some long games this season if refs are inconsistent (they usually are for NCSU)
11/23/2014 at 4:11 PM #62222pakfanistan
ParticipantWe miss so many bunnies.
11/23/2014 at 4:12 PM #62223wufpup76
KeymasterHey buddy, don’t think you’re gonna punk Barber on defense
11/23/2014 at 4:17 PM #62224redcanine
ParticipantI know Cat just turned it over, but it looked to me like he was driving with his head UP. That’ll lead to a lot more good stuff than bad.
11/23/2014 at 4:18 PM #62225wufpup76
KeymasterHere’s a surprise … Bulls go to a zone
11/23/2014 at 4:20 PM #62226Wufpacker
ParticipantYikes, USF looking very efficient all of a sudden.
11/23/2014 at 4:21 PM #62227wufpup76
KeymasterAllowing a lot of contact down low for USF … fine, so long as they’re consistent.
11/23/2014 at 4:22 PM #62228Wufpacker
ParticipantHoly shit, Turner with some decent perimeter D there.
11/23/2014 at 4:24 PM #62229wufpup76
KeymasterReally bad shot by Abu
11/23/2014 at 4:25 PM #62230Wufpacker
ParticipantLMAO…you could just see Anya salivating and waiting to get that block.
