GO PACK!

2/6/2012 11:40:53 AM

WHY did we lose to them earlier?

2/6/2012 11:43:12 AM

iop1,

earliest ive ever been in on one of these threads (yay for me).

Someone guard their shooters

2/6/2012 11:43:19 AM

was just thinking. as long as we don't give them a 16 point (technical foul,3pter, foul, steal+3pter, 4+ turnover) swing within 30 seconds we should be able to keep this in the W column

[Edited on February 6, 2012 at 11:46 AM. Reason : W, 78-71 good guys]

2/6/2012 11:44:14 AM

should've paired up Devlin with Branch for old time's sake

2/6/2012 11:45:21 AM

we should win this one...hopefully we can keep their shooters in check better than we did last time.

NOT Mike Patrick

2/6/2012 12:09:17 PM

it is amazing looking at GT's shooting percentages in every game except for ours. They are just horrrrrid. However, they chose our game to hit every bleeping thing they threw up.

2/6/2012 12:13:59 PM

^ def some nc state shit right dere

2/6/2012 12:24:04 PM

Does anyone have a gif of that shot that wedged between the rim and backboard but instead of getting stuck or bouncing down it decided to go in the basket?

2/6/2012 12:32:51 PM

hope and fucking pray we get this one back on thursday night
hold that shit down wolfpack

2/6/2012 12:51:42 PM

WE SHALL REVENGE!

2/6/2012 1:09:01 PM

All of our starters produced wonderfully last game. Going into this looking for revenge. We seemed to be more disciplined with our fouls as well.

Please 2 W.

2/6/2012 1:16:37 PM

I think that this will be a W because the last game was a fluke.

2/6/2012 1:22:24 PM

Georgia Tech lives off points inside the arc. I doubt they get those against us.

They don't shoot threes at all. That's our main weakness defensively.

Defensively they are horrid.

They are hopelessly short and have zero depth.

I like NC State vs the spread. This has all the makings of a 30+ point game that might only be a 15 point spread.

2/6/2012 1:30:32 PM

Can we stop with the defeatist attitude? Gt shot well against us because we left them wide open all game.


We will be very small favorites in this one. All downside game with no upside. A loss buries us

2/6/2012 2:15:02 PM

REVENGE

2/6/2012 2:17:10 PM

just win

Do you read your own posts?

2/6/2012 2:39:34 PM

Lol, I was thinking the same thing.

"Stop the defeatist attitudes...we really suck"

2/6/2012 3:04:03 PM

Ernie you're such a defeatist, especially when you're making your predictions for 80 point wins, lifetime contracts, etc

2/6/2012 3:05:23 PM

^^^I was wondering where that quote came from, then realized that I skimmed right over face's comment, while reading the other comments. Hooray for built-in face filter.

In honor of this game being played at wherever the Hawks play basketball, I will share with you my favorite youtube video ever

2/6/2012 3:08:20 PM

no way Gott lets us get swept. We have plenty of time to prepare and watch game footage, if we even need to, and the guys will be motivated to get some revenge. obviously, this is a must win situation for the Wolfpack.

2/6/2012 3:50:44 PM

3 ACC WINs IN-A-ROW.

Zo needs to step it up. He played better last game, but he's not were i thought he'd be at this point in the season.

Like the motherfucker has mind control over everyone he plays twice. Better watch out, Roy.

2/6/2012 4:13:37 PM

Can we not fuck this up again please.

2/6/2012 4:18:32 PM

This is one game I actually feel very good about for State. It's at home, we've got 4+ days to prepare, and there is real motivation for the team to revenge that WTF loss to GT earlier in the season.

GT hit a number of contested 3s and banked in what three 3s that game? GT had shit go their way in the first matchup.

2/6/2012 4:23:08 PM

^it's not at home.

2/6/2012 4:24:37 PM

GTech is the Baby...we are the CAT



REVENGE!

Here's me reading any Jt3bucky post, and my subsequent reaction

This is Slave Famous hurling insults at me.

I think its gonna be on CNN

Can a mod get in here and take care of these stupid fucking gifs?

I just meant that he won't let GT sweep us when the first game was a fluke. UNC is a totally different story.

2/6/2012 7:44:43 PM

set up the W
