NC State (7-3, 0-1)
at Cincinnati (7-3, 0-0)

vs.




Coming off the loss with an exciting ending, we'll see if NC State can make the proper tweaks to their game and hope to defeat Cincinnati on the road. Cincinnati is coming off a Ohio State rout 72-50, but also have been on their exam break since last Saturday.

Hopefully we'll have Atsur back to contribute as he is definitely needed in different areas of the Pack's game.

Cincinnati schedule to date:
11/10 Howard W 70-39
11/11 UT-Martin W 67-49
11/12 High Point W 63-51
11/21 Wofford L 91-90
11/25 C Michigan W 60-50
11/29 Oakland W 68-61
12/02 UAB L 59-57
12/09 at Temple W 80-71
12/13 Xavier W 67-57
12/16 #4 Ohio St L 72-50

Cincinnati Leaders:
John Williamson 16.1 PPG, 8.9 RPG
Deonta Vaughn 4.0 APG

Atsur should just quit

seriously wtf man

12/21/2006 1:56:45 PM

Saving him for ACC play. He won't play another game till our next ACC game.

12/21/2006 2:04:16 PM

i think that's the case also, but he might see a little playing time in the game against unc-g just to get him back into the flow before acc play.

12/21/2006 2:08:15 PM

How in the hell did they beat Xavier this year?

If we cannot beat this year's Cincy, we may finish last in the ACC with or without Engin.

atsur will come back and herb up our offense

12/22/2006 12:01:36 AM

gunzz i really wouldn't mind that auto-suspension on any mention of herb

12/22/2006 12:05:13 AM

Cincy got raped by OSU. It wasn't really even as competitive as 22 points

12/22/2006 12:06:14 AM

legit arguement.

can u seriously see atsur running the style of play we are ? hes played in a patience, passing, and high percentage shooting offense for his entire career.

i think his contributions will be less turnovers, good defense, and the occasional 3 pointer


but we'll see

...which is exactly what we need in the halfcourt, as opposed to Gavin coming off the same screen five times in a row and taking an ugly shot while double-teamed.

Atsur's capable of throwing outlet passes to start the break.

12/22/2006 12:09:32 AM

agreed but getting up and down the floor coming off a hammy injury is tough...if he pulls it again he's likely done for a huge portion of the season, if not the rest.

I understand that a hamstring injury is tough but i really did not expect him to be out this long

man fuck atsur

12/22/2006 12:26:12 AM

can we Red Shirt Atsur and save him for next year? or is it to late b/c he played the 1st few games

12/22/2006 12:42:12 AM

Im thinking if Sidney really wants atsur back in the lineup, then he is going to be a great help. Gavin is easy to stop when he has to start his trip to the goal at halfcourt.

12/22/2006 8:57:23 AM

my old roomate, packplayer, pulled his hamstring the second game of the season and didnt fully recover until the end of the season.

hard to push off with a bum hammie

12/22/2006 9:53:23 AM

Time Warner Cable and ESPNU can go fuck themselves.

12/23/2006 11:23:13 AM
