my favorite basketball player plays for BC..

go Pack. hope we see a lot of Harris/DeThaey/Kendall Smith or whoever would play in garbage time to rest our starters

3/5/2012 7:38:24 PM

Boston College 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.

3/5/2012 9:26:05 PM

aha. people don't realize that every TKE on t-dub is between 27 and 35 years old

3/5/2012 9:30:09 PM

Could you please update our record in the initial post to make us look better, thanks!

3/5/2012 9:56:22 PM

plz to not fuck this up

we got this though

go Pack!

"North Carolina State [20-11 (9-7), RPI: 55, SOS: 20] For as ugly as the Wolfpack's profile is, they did beat Miami twice this season. That sweep may give them the narrowest of head-to-head edges over the Hurricanes, but that's damnation with faint praise: NC State is 0-8 against the rest of the RPI top 50, its best nonconference win came over Texas, and its RPI still isn't great. It's ugly stuff, the product of big missed opportunities down the stretch, and so NC State must likewise beat Boston College and then Virginia -- and maybe even North Carolina in the ACC semifinals -- to fight their way above the rest of the bubble mess. "

that's a pretty pessimistic review. I think we deserve just a little more credit

3/5/2012 11:04:10 PM

seems more realistic than pessimistic to me. maybe 2 gets state in, 3 most likely cinches is given the opponent. we've missed a lot of opportunities this year to solidify the resume. close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

I'm pretty sure they don't care and would say stuff like that either way. I know I would.

3/6/2012 12:41:08 AM

is this going to be blacked out on espn3.com? i can watch it at work if it isn't. if it is, well then damn i have to find another place to stream it...

turns out, the answer to my question is in the OP, pretty early on.

This game will be closer than people think. BC has nothing else to play for. This is the last game of their season. They'll likely play loose and shot an ass of 3s since we suck at defending them. If they get hot, it could be another GT game. State better bring some intensity and not look forward to UVA.

3/6/2012 7:50:57 AM

I can't stop looking at this. It is just glorious


Also, I kept reading that our game was at 2 instead of 2:30. I guess are just assuming the first game won't end until 2 though, pushing ours to 2:30.

3/6/2012 8:24:00 AM

^fix the lighting and that looks just like a sports magazine cover.

^game is estimated to begin at 2:30; coverage starts at 2:00

3/6/2012 8:51:10 AM

Coverage starts at noon in a continual block until both games are done with a ~20 minute break in between.

I swear, its like some of you have never watched a conference tournament before.

3/6/2012 8:59:44 AM

^ncsu coverage of ncsu's game starts at 2.

3/6/2012 9:04:15 AM

We should win this but being a State fan makes me think twice

That review is dead-on.

3/6/2012 10:09:42 AM

Especially because we are competing against teams with 3 or 4 Top 50 wins. That Duke game really, really hurts.

3/6/2012 10:34:19 AM

line is NCSU -12? I think we'll cover.

3/6/2012 11:41:38 AM

^ that probably about right. BC is not going to just let us stomp their ass. They have nothing else to play for, this is their season.

3/6/2012 11:46:04 AM

we've got this

we've got to got this

[Edited on March 6, 2012 at 11:50 AM. Reason : that duke game still pisses me off so much]

3/6/2012 11:49:00 AM

not a team to sleep on. They have more big wins than we do...

we won't come out looking to stomp ass for 40 minutes. the margin of victory is meaningless compared to the next game vs uva. expect to see lots of bench pt. starters will get plenty of rest in anticipation of a days-long campaign.

IF we get past BC and UVA we may have a decent chance at UNC. Its no mystery that Roy's Boys usually go 80% in the tournament because he is an insufferable cunt and doesn't think the ACC tourney matters. So if we make it to UNC, it could be interesting. Though, I suspect UNC at 80% is still better than us at 100%

[Edited on March 6, 2012 at 12:22 PM. Reason : ...]

3/6/2012 12:28:49 PM

dancin' w! can't wait to watch this at work, good times

3/6/2012 1:58:08 PM

boner jams and pee drinking all up in this bitch.

LOL at the bench guys getting a bunch of burn. I'll believe it when I see it. This will be a 10 pt game and our starters will not get a lot of rest.

3/6/2012 1:59:57 PM

i hope we find a way to make the tourney

3/6/2012 2:06:36 PM

Isn't it great to at least be in the discussion again?

3/6/2012 2:09:12 PM

TDT, Harris, and Raymond all start

TDT takes the jump ball and dunks it from a flatfooted jump at halfcourt

Raymond dishes out 43 assists to Staats Battle, who makes 43 3s

Harris takes a charge that makes the BC player's body explode into a fine mist

except roy NEVER goes 80% against us, you underestimate his hatred of all things state
