Are we in trouble?

Hopefully we come out with a shitload of intensity with payback on our minds.

p.s. The thread title needed a true opponent....not x vs. y or z (sorry, other thread)

"Wake would still be a good matchup, if we're strong on D and play good team offense. What we can't do is let them spread us out and play 1-on-1."

sounds like cam is ok. we should beat them for sure this time

3/9/2006 4:37:23 PM

^Yeah, Cam looked fine at the open practice yesterday.

And the team was fucking hot on 3s. Hope that holds up, and I also hope we run more of an inside-out game.

I do not like this kind of talk.

Nothing with NC State is promised.

Ced HAS to show up tomorrow...he will be the key to the game.

We cannot let Eric Williams go off like he did in the second half of the FSU game.

3/9/2006 4:39:21 PM

you got it coach

the funny thing is wake is probably in their locker room telling each other "3 more wins and we're in the ncaa tournament"

^ i also thought that

3/9/2006 4:49:12 PM

I want to see more off-the-ball movement, especially by Ilian and Engin, but also Ced working in the post.

We've just been standing around too much in the last few games.

3/9/2006 4:52:16 PM

^yep, not trying or caring at all it seems. that's why i liked seeing fells get PT against wake. at least he was playing hard.

3/9/2006 4:54:37 PM

Yeah, we've gotten into a rut lately...wasting a lot of the shot clock just moving back and forth at the top of the key.

Atsur doesn't need to be in situations where he has the ball at the top and the shot clock's expiring, because that's when he tries things like coming off a screen and shooting, which is NOT his game.

3/9/2006 4:56:37 PM

the best part about Wake playing today was they are gonna be sore and tired tomorrow...they played a hard 2nd half to get back in it so hopefully they wear out, no way they make it all the way through

Cam is back which helps us in crunch time and the shot clock down just hope Ilian is decent enough to slow Williams down

Williams may become one GREAT NBA player, i have a feeling he will

3/9/2006 4:56:40 PM

revenge time

lets get a solid W over the ball punching baptists who go to school an hour away from the actual Wake Forest

It seems like he's still a big man loaded with potential, which is what he started as. There hasn't been a whole lot of development.

He's definitely not ready for the NBA right now.

3/9/2006 4:59:04 PM

Wonder if Justin Gray's head is ok?

3/9/2006 5:02:14 PM

What time tomorrow?

3/9/2006 5:06:25 PM

2:31 pm

3/9/2006 5:07:20 PM

^roughly

Could be later, if the first game runs over. There's a 30-minute space in between games.

3/9/2006 5:08:16 PM

after 10 minutes, we have 5 points.

3/9/2006 6:27:18 PM

State -4.5



I wont fall for that fucking trap again.

3/9/2006 6:28:58 PM

state by 7

3/9/2006 6:40:02 PM

wow this is almost a repeat of last year so far.

3/9/2006 6:44:29 PM

Staked out the Coliseum and got tickets for tomorrow's game a little while ago


Go Pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/9/2006 6:46:55 PM

One thing I noticed about Williams today was that EVERY time he got the ball he immediately put the ball below his waist, if he had kept it up high he would have been much more effective.

3/9/2006 7:27:39 PM

Hopefully Wake will take some cheap shots at our players and get called for it. We should be able to keep our heads on straight for this game.

I'll be there...in the Duke section unfortunately but sporting bright RED.

3/9/2006 8:05:14 PM

haha wolf, bring some bright orange for the duke game

3/9/2006 10:06:07 PM

state to lose by 6

and herb to have 1 game left to coach

it will be a bittersweet loss

3/9/2006 10:48:34 PM

20 WINS WILL NOT GET A COACH FIRED UNFORTUANATELY

3/9/2006 10:51:50 PM

20 WINS WILL NOT GET A COACH FIRED, UNFORTUANATELY

3/9/2006 10:52:55 PM

how about if he loses 6 consecutive games to close out the season huh

when he was favored in all


[Edited on March 9, 2006 at 10:54 PM. Reason : ^ you herb lovers are fucking morons, lets see what u say when we lose tomorrow]

3/9/2006 10:53:27 PM

well I guess we shall see.

[Edited on March 9, 2006 at 10:54 PM. Reason : ^"it's ok guys! we'll still do good in the ncaa tourney!"]

3/9/2006 10:54:25 PM

so if we win tomorrow, will you stay out of sports talk for the remainder of the season?

3/9/2006 10:56:14 PM

you mean if we beat a far inferior team at a neutral court

fuck no

i could coach us to a W tomorrow

3/9/2006 10:57:04 PM

right, I'm sure you could coach better than Herb. Why don't we just hire you then?

3/9/2006 10:57:32 PM

I sure as shit won't leave sports talk as a result of state beating the worst team in the ACC. that's something where someone is supposed to leave if state DOESN'T win.

3/9/2006 10:57:36 PM

shit if they make me an offer i'll listen

i know i sure as hell could have coached us to 20+ wins

[Edited on March 9, 2006 at 10:59 PM. Reason : anyone that knows an intermediary amount about game mechanics could]

3/9/2006 10:59:03 PM

when I see you do it, I'll believe it. Currently Herb has a pretty good edge on you.

POST-season, sue me.

3/9/2006 11:02:36 PM

ya but it's still not all that long

3/9/2006 11:02:58 PM

seacrest out.

3/9/2006 11:03:46 PM

We got some loses out of our system, time to shine!!! I feel a big W tomorrow.

3/9/2006 11:07:09 PM

that's what people said 3, 2, 1, etc. games ago.

3/9/2006 11:12:29 PM

I'm very worried about this one...WF knows they can beat us.

Remember what happened last year when we got it in our heads that "we can beat WF"?

GO PACK!

3/9/2006 11:17:36 PM

tv ?

3/9/2006 11:18:21 PM

i posted that in my thread

3/9/2006 11:19:12 PM

This happens almost every year. Wake wins right before the tourney, we beat Wake in the tourney. Then lose to Duke. I was far more afraid of FSU than I was Wake. Cakewalk tomorrow(or at least as close to one as we can manage), then the pissed off Blue Devils on Saturday. Count on it.

3/9/2006 11:24:00 PM

the loss to duke isnt a sure thing, see the regular season game.

"i think some of the main keys for the tournament should be.. 1. Utilize simmons / brackman...we need more points in the paint it will free up things in our offense if we can come out early pounding away inside 2. Rebounds...we need to get more aggresive on the boards especially limit the second/third chance offensive opportunties for the other teams this it what has really killed us the past few games 3. No scoring droughts...if we haven't scored in 4 minutes its time to change up the fucking offense..possibly drive or pass inside instead of popping the 3 over and over again when the shot clock is at 1 or 2 seconds"

3/9/2006 11:54:16 PM

utilizing brackman would be a good way to lose this game. he should get 3 minutes a game, thats it.

3/10/2006 12:08:31 AM

i was way more scared of wf than fsu
