We were a bubble team last year? How can you say we would be talking about seeds?
Almost didn’t even answer this because it’s a ridiculous question, but I will just for you in case you honestly don’t understand. We would have Cat playing at this level (a level that is BETTER than last year) and we would have an actual 2 guard in Lacey who would also very likely be playing even better than last year which would take even more pressure off Cat. This improvement that you dismiss would be due having Lacey back another year experienced.
Also, +1 to everything BJD said.. not to mention we’d certainly lose the highest rated PG in NC State history next season if we were so dumb as to fire Gott after this year.
To me it’s pretty clear that Trevor Lacey leaving last year was unexpected even by Gott. That’s the one thing about Gott that has me worried is his players leaving early and/or transferring. In my opinion that has been without a doubt the BIGGEST factor that has dampened his results here, and especially this season. Not the defense, not the X’s and O’s on offense, not the recruiting, not the friendship between Yow and Gott.
He was fully expecting Lacey to be here this year and I can guarantee you we’d be having talks of how high of a seed we could get in the NCAA tournament rather than bickering about his records at Bama and Murray State.
I’ve been happy with Gott’s tenure here to this point with the exception being the seemingly high attrition rate of his teams each year. We’ve got a phenom PG coming in next year. I’d say if you can’t “see an upward trajectory” from this point then that means you’re just not looking for one.
Woo I just witnessed a Rowan 3
Everytime I see Rowan shoot a 3 it’s an epic brick.
was wondering when/who was going to make a game thread lol
BOOM! Handle our business in our first true road game… not 30 point win as I’d have hoped, but it was never in doubt which I’ll take. Wish we’d have gotten the frosh Mav more involved after it was well in hand.
I’d like to see us use the time for the rest of this game to work Mav in as much as possible.. give the youngin the green light and see if we can’t get him some more experience… he’s going to need to improve a lot more if we want to be competitive this year
I may be part of the Rowan jinx.. feel like I’ve only witnessed one 3 pointer made by him all year.
hell.. maybe 30+
Feel like we need to win this one by 20+ to consider it a victory… as Trump would say, “They’re just so bad.”
always a pleasure
I figure I’m # 12, so you might be #…Oh, I don’t know. Your call.
Put me down for #17… always loved Phil’s number.
Holes lose 84-82 on last-second jumper in Austin…
I must say that brings joy to my heart! Christmas time is here… the holes lose another game. Probably only slip to #4 though.
About to put a chunk of change on Popovich ML in the big boys league tonight. Wish me luck fellers 🙂
I’m probably in a very small minority here, but I fully believe Gott could take us to the final four if he can land us a couple of back to back top 10 recruiting years (he’s obviously no Brad Stevens so he NEEDS talent). Get to the F4 and anything can happen. The dude can motivate in the post season no question in my mind. Problem is, as has already been mentioned, the shine after these 5 years may have started to dull. Time will tell. If recruiting continues a slow decline in the next couple years then I’m fully boarding the FIRE GOTT bandwagon, but as of right now, he gets a pass for a sh!!ty season this year.
… I could be just the jinx Army needs
Streak won’t end this year, but I do have some action on Army +21.
Definitely appears they did some shuffling for TV ratings. Glad to see they kept Clempson at #1 though.
I too would be shocked if Clempson isn’t #1 seed.
What I think it should be:
1 Clemson
2 Bama
3 Oklahoma
4 MSUAlthough I can see your point bjd and wouldn’t put it past them that maybe they go for tv ratings and shuffle it up for the matchup factors
sense of relief starting to pour over me
Agree. And if no justice comes to pass I expect us to start no show classes immediately for all NC State athletes and give them lambos and whores. Because it’s becoming more and more evident that playing by the rules these days is a fools game.
Amazing. Hopefully he ruined his career with this decision when/if NCAA wakes the hell up.
