KeymasterHi all – forgive me but I’m posting the game thread the night before this time around … Not sure when I’d have time to post a game thread tomorrow (

ParticipantYep. Important game. It can give us a little breathing room and a boost in the “new” RPI.
We need to win 2 of next 3 to feel nice and relaxed come selection Sunday (and the worry wart in me thinks we’d still need to win our first gsme with a loss.)

ParticipantJust win baby.

ParticipantIf the Pack comes out looking hongry and executing, it will be a very, very good sign going forward.
That being said, I’d still settle for an ugly win considering that the worst case senario is a loss in letdown city with a trip to Death Valley still looming.
So, I’m with MrPly…don’t screw this up (I’m paraphrasing).

Heh … I resisted the urge to bring NCSS up. I know this team can avoid it, question is will they?
We should keep in mind that even if State plays reasonably well, BC *could* still have a chance to clip us. They had Miami all but beat the other week – they lost due to some BC Sh*t. If we’re gonna see any sh*t tomorrow, that’s the type of sh*t we need to see – BC sh*t!

ParticipantThis game scares the dickens out of me. Win this one, and I like our chances at Clemson. Lose, and the pressure really builds. Win the next two, and the environment for our final home game should be amazing… We’d be on a phenomenal run coming into that game.

ParticipantCall me crazy, I don’t see us losing this game.
I’m assuming Cat will be on Hanlan, I’m interested in seeing how that plays out.

Pup, I’m not worried about the Basketball Players one bit.
Posted that for the general health and wellbeing of the SFN lunatic fringe….
I know “most of them” can avoid it, the question is “Will they?”.#SayNoToNCSS

ParticipantThis is exactly the kind of game #stateclassic loses. If this team has really turned the corner and has really come together and found an identity, then #newstate walks out with a win, continued momentum heading to Clemson, and a more relaxed Selection Sunday. We’ll see.

KeymasterThe old me is terrified, but I can’t help but hope that this team has found their focus (at long last) and doesn’t want to go back to the precipice of disaster. And really…they have ONE F-ING PLAYER. We should beat teams like that 100 times out of 100, especially when it’s a perimeter guy who we can mark with Cat and/or Des for 40 minutes.
We shall see. My latent pessimist is usually eventually the winner in my internal battles. Just hope not today.
FORWARD for Glorious Red Cause, Comrades!

ParticipantIf you want to know why coach k is coach k and others aren’t… After their game vs. UNC they played Clemson without their best player (okafor). They came out pressing… And dispensed of a decent Clemson team quickly.
That’s the kind of statement we need to make today if we’ve truly turned the corner.

ParticipantDragging out of bed just now (8:30) and thinking, damn, the guys are probably getting taped right now. I hate noon games. Hope the players don’t have my internal clock. And BC is proven to be godforsaken in the winter, especially this one with global warming and all. This will be a test of a different kind…not so much against the five BC players on the court, but everything else….12 BC parents in the stands and maybe 2 media people, cold, dead quiet save sneakers squeaking and those butt ugly colors. It will have a scrimmage feel to it. Beat the elements boys and winning the game will take care of itself.

ParticipantSo…besides the Pack, the Noles the Jackets and the Dookies, who are we pulling for today?
The U? Or the Cheats?
02/28/2015 at 9:16 AM #7627113OT
ParticipantWho are we pulling for, The U or UNC-CHeats? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
As for our game, if we see the same type of defensive effort we saw last Tuesday, we’ll be in great shape.
DEEEEFENSE!!

KeymasterI plan to watch our game, get a mild-to-moderate buzz on, then read about war crimes whilst waiting on a fridge to be delivered.
02/28/2015 at 9:39 AM #76273wolfmanmat
ParticipantIll be interested to see if gott plays the martin twins and rest of 2nd string more. We need more pt out of those guys if we plan on making a serious run in either tourney. Cant play cat and lacey the entire game.

ParticipantWas it lost on anyone that Boyd Crowder was drinking Buffalo Trace and working at the mine on Blanton’s creek. How many bourbon references can be squeezed into one show. Wild Turkey at high noon. Works for me. Go Pack
02/28/2015 at 10:09 AM #76275StateMan
Participantif state, Louisville and cheat all end up at 11-7, who owns the tiebreaker? How about Louisville and state? I think state wins both but I am not confident…
Just win today!!!

Now that’s a day!
Also, I think this team is having a positive affect on your outlook … you didn’t take the opportunity to compare State games to war crimes 🙂

Keymasterif state, Louisville and cheat all end up at 11-7, who owns the tiebreaker? How about Louisville and state? I think state wins both but I am not confident…
Hrmmm … no idea. Getting to 11-7 would be amazing though.
02/28/2015 at 11:02 AM #76279BJD95
KeymasterThis reminds me of the Ol’ Roy/U*NC relationship right now, and makes me giggle uncontrollably:
Plus, I dig Kaiser Chiefs.
02/28/2015 at 11:05 AM #76280BJD95
KeymasterState went 2-1, Holes (2-2) and Yum! (1-2) split. Easy 3-way tiebreak, Pack is your 4 seed. Hopefully Yum! is the 5, because they go to a head-to-head tiebreaker next.
02/28/2015 at 11:09 AM #76281Fastback68
ParticipantState would be #4 since we beat the Cards and by virtue of a 1-0 record against Duke which would trump UNX’s at best 1-1 record with Duke. There is a wild scenario where State could lose one of their remaining games and still be #4 if Cards lose all 3 remaining games and UNX 2 of 3. The Canes play UNX, Pitt and VT. IMO, they seem to have the easiest path to the fourth seed. Too many noon ACC games today.
02/28/2015 at 11:20 AM #76283Texpack
ParticipantWe get Klempson and GT here today so it’s ESPN3 again. I just hope the empty building doesn’t make us listless. Other than that we have a decent shot at a win.
