o shit

i could have sworn Ackbar had 3 fouls

1. the hooking foul to start the half
2&3. defensive fouls on Ced

1/18/2006 7:49:30 PM

I am mesmerized by Evtimov's Eastern European beauty....AND SO IS THE BASKET!

1/18/2006 7:49:35 PM

we may have the lead, but we need to play smarter ball next half

1/18/2006 7:50:04 PM

yeah, fuck you bilas, down 1 to the number 14 team in the land may not be the best situation for the dookies, but why does it have to be "paint peeling off the walls"

1/18/2006 7:50:14 PM

Cedric is a fucking beaast!

1/18/2006 7:50:33 PM

We are No.1

to hell with holding on to it...just keep playin'....haven't seen a state team go out and just play ball like this in a long time

1/18/2006 7:51:19 PM

i agree we need to play smarter. We really should play how we did at the end of the half

Yeah, that second one that you are thinking of, they gave to some dude that wasnt around or some shit. I was livid when I heard it wasnt on him, even though he wacked him on the forearm.

1/18/2006 7:51:25 PM

Okay whast our starting five looking like as far as fouls are concerned, I dont think Ced has any, Evtimov has 3 I think....what about the others?

1/18/2006 7:51:27 PM

oh great, now Dicky V is going to drive to durham and threaten the refs

1/18/2006 7:51:30 PM

ced has 3?

Honestly neither team looks all that great, but i think if we stay hungry and actually get some looks at 3 we well be in a lovely position

1/18/2006 7:51:39 PM

I have a man crush on Simmons

I'm more nervous than I've probably ever been, so I'll just sit quietly and wait it out.

1/18/2006 7:51:50 PM

brack has 2 i think

1/18/2006 7:52:13 PM

12 TURNOVERS
30 POINTS IN THE PAINT
1 3PT SHOT

AND WE'RE IN THE LEAD. HARD TO BELIEVE WE'D PLAY LIKE THIS.

1/18/2006 7:52:24 PM

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
SSSTTTAAATTTEEE!!!!!

NC STATE

1/18/2006 7:52:28 PM

beause the D's have been unreal.

1/18/2006 7:52:37 PM

B-Rack is the only person with 2, everyone else with any has 1

1/18/2006 7:53:42 PM

so which ESPN commentator got the short straw to give JJ a blowjob during halftime??

1/18/2006 7:53:42 PM

we need to play better D.

redick got A LOT of decent shots and that's all it takes. thank god he wasn't on

"30 POINTS IN THE PAINT"

is unbelievable and awesome.

We looked bad for a long stretch, there, but at least they got their heads together and came back in the game. Let's keep it up...

1/18/2006 7:53:50 PM

if only we had that many points in the paint against UNC

1/18/2006 7:54:34 PM

yeah, this is going to be an interesting second half but we're going to need to minimize those turnovers and actually make some 3's to keep up with duke.

1/18/2006 7:54:45 PM

wow we are 1-5 for 3 pointers, I can't believe we are in this with only that many attempts.

1/18/2006 7:55:55 PM

C Simmons 1

A Brackman 2

T Bethel 1

C Bennerman 1

E Atsur 0

G Grant 1

I Evtimov 2

TEAM TOTALS 8

1/18/2006 7:56:14 PM

If they would have called that 2nd foul on Sheldon instead of Pocious like they should have, we would be in good shape.

1/18/2006 7:56:23 PM

Halftime adjustments by Coach K: go inside to Shelden and get Ced in foul trouble.
Halftime adjustments by Herb: 30 of our 34 points were in the paint. let's start jacking some 3s.

1/18/2006 7:56:46 PM

^ thats wrong

Yeah, the turnovers are a serious problem. I can see why it's happening (Duke's stretching out so far on D that it gives the appearance of an open lane) but I really hope Herb addresses it.

1/18/2006 7:57:35 PM

Halftime adjustments by Coach K: spank JJ reddick for sucking
Halftime adjustments by Herb: bench atsur.

1/18/2006 7:57:45 PM

We need to get Sheldon in foul trouble and get his ass out of the game...and I like how Atsur and Bennerman are doing on Reddick, I think reddick has what 14 or 16 pts...if we can keep him below 25 I think we'll be ok heading into the 2nd half.


We need to put a hand in Malchionni's face dont let that fucker get open for a three!

1/18/2006 7:58:18 PM

I dunno why everybody says change and go "three three three"

If we're going inside, getting easy lay-ins, and Ced is owning Williams, then keep going with that and don't change the gameplan (whether that was the original gameplan or not)

1/18/2006 7:58:42 PM

there just plain have been no 3's to take.

1/18/2006 7:59:17 PM

random question to distract from the nervousness:

chatting w/ a pal and need to know this: what is the all-time record between Duke and Carolina?

1/18/2006 7:59:28 PM

exactly, and tell Gavin to keep driving

this is the first time I think I've seen him do anything with confidence

1/18/2006 7:59:44 PM

3 is our savior and our downfall.

but i agree ..... if it aint broke dont fix it

1/18/2006 8:00:02 PM

its clearly a break out game for him, his job is to run. just fucking run.

1/18/2006 8:00:47 PM

i wonder if Herb is reading all the postings right now in the locker room for game advice

1/18/2006 8:00:50 PM

what i think our half time changes should be:

get the ball into the paint more with Ced (draw the foul from Ackbar)
play more man to man defense.. or at least zone defense with man to man/double on Redick
slow down the tempo of the game
keep the ball away from Grant except for fastbreaks.. (keep grant from playing the PG position)

1/18/2006 8:00:53 PM

I think the record is 121-85 for UNC

but I am double checking

1/18/2006 8:02:04 PM

we dont need to start gunning 3s but we need to get some looks. I suspect they will do more to take the paint away giving us some looks

1/18/2006 8:02:59 PM

Yeah keep Grant driving but no ballhandling out top.

thanks, google got me nothing surprisingly

1/18/2006 8:03:35 PM

actually that's as of 2001

probably something like 123-88 UNC now
