best 2nd half he's played in a long while

1/20/2014 11:01:47 PM

Gotta say it, but we found out how to shut them down while salvaging our offense. Huge credibility.

1/20/2014 11:01:48 PM

Happy 50th. Hope you're here till 75... ok that was taking it too far

1/20/2014 11:03:16 PM

typical burro...being an idiot

1/20/2014 11:03:17 PM

*This* Mark Gottfried is welcome to stay. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that the real Mark Gottfried is what we've seen for the past several games, not this game.

Umm, NC State is known for engineering so its a good complement to centennial campus. We don't have a medical or law school on our campus, so we might as well try to become the premier engineering school in the south and the JB Hunt library is a nice landmark for it.

I'm pretty sure MG didn't have much to do with this win.

1/20/2014 11:10:46 PM

Best defense I have seen from us in forever tonight. I don't remember a very man open threes or drives where we got screened and didn't fight through them.

1/20/2014 11:11:03 PM

other than the three at the end of the 1st half, right?

1/20/2014 11:12:23 PM

Considering we had basically one practice to get ready for this game, hell of a job by MG

Transition d was excellent for the most part. Half-court defense was unreal too.

Most importantly, not getting the team to panic and loss focus when we got down was huge.

But, he didn't make those 3s. Turner did amirite?

instead of you guys changing your mind every game. set expectations and hold him to them.

I think a top 9 finish would be a good year and keep him off the hotseat.

Out of the top 10 and the seat gets really warm which would mean 1 more judgment year and the year after that would be tourney or bust.

we still suck. there were multiple possessions where guys just stopped paying attention on d

turgeon is just total shit. we dodged a bullet with him because he's like another herb sendek type trap where he'll make the tournament in year 5 and never win shit

at least gott might go down in flames

1/20/2014 11:33:38 PM

^^ I'll be thrilled with 3-3

1/20/2014 11:40:27 PM

Except for Tyler, there wasn't a single player on the court tonight who played any minutes for us last year. Kinda crazy.

1/20/2014 11:41:09 PM

Think you forgot TBDV

1/20/2014 11:48:36 PM

did he play or was he medical redshirted all year?

1/20/2014 11:50:46 PM

Shit, I thought he redshirted all year. Apparently he played in 20 games.

Oh well. Close enough.

1/20/2014 11:55:07 PM

His impact was as if he didn't play a game all year, hell probably worse

The highs are high and the lows are low. What a season. Typical Wolfpack...

1/21/2014 10:05:30 AM

Beating an 11-7 Maryland team is a pretty low high

1/21/2014 10:19:54 AM

We whipped Maryland, who beat Providence, who beat Creighton, who just demolished #4 Villanova

thus....

1/21/2014 10:23:02 AM

The team really likes one another from what I can tell in these post game vids. That's the most important thing moving forward. Then again it's easy to like one another after a come back win.

1/21/2014 10:36:55 AM

Wow, we scored 20 in the first half and 45 in the second.

1/21/2014 10:39:23 AM

Vandy is not amused

1/21/2014 10:58:15 AM

lol @ Vandy in that postgame video. He's hanging back at the end, outside of all the shennanigans as if he's thinking, "I'm gettin' too old for this shit."

1/21/2014 11:00:27 AM

This team is a pretty good response to the "I just want a team that plays hard" people from the last couple years.

No, you fucking don't. You want a team that wins and plays to (or exceeds) their potential. A shitty team that likes each other is preferable to a shitty team that hates each other (thinking the Hickson year here) but neither one is great.

1/21/2014 11:02:27 AM

Only two tower posts on this page. Must have won a game or something.

1/21/2014 11:03:52 AM

A team that plays hard wins. The reason we won yesterday was our aggressive,smothering, non-fouling(thanks Sowffie?) defense.

1/21/2014 11:08:47 AM

Desmond Lee and Kyle Washington bring it every game.

1/21/2014 11:14:54 AM

desmond lee brings it, even if it's 5 on 1.

1/21/2014 11:20:34 AM

I think we should analyze the fact that Turner doesn't give five after free throws, but looks forward and claps to himself.

1/21/2014 11:23:04 AM

Smart move. It is flu season

1/21/2014 11:23:48 AM

I'm a little surprised Turner hasnt been more of a bitch this season. I really doubt when he transferred he planned on being the 6th man on a non-Tournament team but there isn't much indication he's been a problem about it.

Gott deserves some credit for that, however minor

1/21/2014 11:55:37 AM

Did Maryland even zone us yesterday? Why not?

1/21/2014 11:58:18 AM

They zoned us in the first half and early in the second. Tried a half-court trap a few times as well.

They stopped when Turner went crazy from outside.

1/21/2014 12:11:31 PM

Good game for Gott last night. It's very frustrating to watch this team because we have played our two best defensive games under Gott this year with less talent last night and @UT. We need that effort game in and game out.

If they zoned us, it was very limited. Almost all of Turner's threes were against man.
