Anyone else scared about this game? After what they did to us last year, we need to dominate both halves and not let them hang around until the end of the game. Everyone was absolutely stunned when that last bucket went in.

We should be able to beat these guys. I mean, come on, their former coach coaches us now.

11/12/2008 5:18:31 PM

They lost 4/5 starters and one was that really good guy forgot his name?

But we should have beaten them last year easily....talent is not a question.

11/12/2008 5:31:59 PM

I'm not worried. Some of you people overreact like women.

if you're worried about this game you should be worried about every game we play... which wouldn't be unjustified.

11/12/2008 5:35:32 PM

^I am, until the team proves otherwise

11/12/2008 5:40:23 PM

i dont worry anymore

i just remain mildly interested

I always start with pretty high hopes. Complete apathy sets in after a couple of losses against teams that look like they play home games in middle school gyms.

11/12/2008 6:02:50 PM

Does anyone know if this game is going to be televised? I assume it will be on pack pass but I cant find anything about ESPN Full Courts's schedule. Last years New O. game was on but I can not remember what network.

11/12/2008 6:07:16 PM

^ I think it was on FSN South?

yea we didn't fare too well last year at ecu... two years ago at drexel we won... hopefully we can win and they dont hit a loose ball 3 from 10 steps behind the line

that's no excuse for that loss. we should've won by fifty.

^^that possession was still lucky as shit though

11/12/2008 7:22:33 PM

Our game will be the Privateers' first at UNO's Lakefront Arena after renovations were completed to repair and update the arena after it was damaged by Hurricane Katrina. It seats 10,000.

that game last year was the beginning of a long hangover from the Old Spice Classic Championship. It was like once we won that thing, the rest of the season got mailed in....

11/12/2008 8:28:01 PM

^ a. that was before the old spice classic

b. what?

11/12/2008 9:00:58 PM

no worries.

Seriously? I hope UNO rents out the arena a lot because there is no way 10,000 people will show up for their basketball games.

11/12/2008 9:44:51 PM

Most stadiums in their confrence have about the same capacity.

Oh yeah, and I will be at the game! Woot.

That is how I feel about EVERY State game. I am worried about any game because any team can win on any given day. It really sucks.. maybe one day we'll be good enough where I don't have to worry.

11/12/2008 10:26:11 PM

^^^ yeah, we'd be lucky to get 10,000 people to any five games, especially with Bo gone.

I don't think State has to worry about this one. Our best player is a 6'3" small forward.

11/13/2008 1:17:33 AM

us by 12

11/13/2008 1:35:03 AM

i'll be disappointed if we beat them by less than 20.

11/13/2008 6:41:49 AM

If we lose this game, I am going to wipe my ass with my howl towel and bring it to the first home game and then throw it at Sidney Lowe.

Seriously, we will not lose this game and we'd better win by 20.

11/13/2008 9:03:49 AM

You know UCLA, who's ranked #4 in the country, only beat Prairie View A&M, who's worse than UNO, by only 24 points last night. I'd love to see a 20+ point win, but I don't care how we win as long as we win.

^I bet you would love the show 'Fields of Glory' on Mojo TV

it's a show dedicated to showing the best college football stadiums around the country

11/13/2008 10:49:51 AM

I'm worried because we play terrible defense. Good shooting nights come and go, but the one thing you can rely on if you are able to is bringing defense every night. We don't, and that means there is always the potential to lose games we shouldn't if a team shoots well.

11/13/2008 10:59:20 AM

the best part about UNO is that serve pitchers of beer in their dinning hall.

i had a friend that spent a semester there.

11/13/2008 11:43:18 AM

^3 that channel is going off the air December 1 i think

Be prepared to be disappointed the whole season, why do you guys have such high hopes?

11/13/2008 1:41:08 PM

Might have missed this, but any news on TV broadcast?

11/13/2008 2:05:33 PM

There's always next year

We're NC State. Anything less than a national title is a disappointment, because everyone still lives in 1983.

11/13/2008 2:11:36 PM

PackPass is showing a video stream for saturday

[Edited on November 13, 2008 at 2:55 PM. Reason : which means no TV elsewhere]

11/13/2008 2:55:01 PM

^^ that's a ridiculous overstatement.

11/13/2008 11:43:48 PM

bump for tonight

didn't read thread

will this be on tv/espn360?

11/15/2008 10:41:00 AM

will not be on tv, will be on PackPass ONLY.


In the past, someone has posted the link to the PackPass feed, can't remember who that was, but would be great if we could get that going again.

11/15/2008 10:47:42 AM

does anyone know what radio station this will be on?

11/15/2008 12:26:15 PM
