we already are the USC of basketball this year. we'll finish with 21 wins and lose in the sweet 16 of the NIT to SLU

2/2/2013 6:25:08 PM

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DRANKIN

2/2/2013 6:25:45 PM

will those games be in Reynolds or PNC? be pretty balling to play a few games in Reynolds in march

2/2/2013 6:26:58 PM

We always have the chance to come back and knock off Notre Dame at the end of the season to make things better and ruin their season. The saving grace is that I know the potential this team has if we can just fucking stop playing like retards and be consistent and put teams away. My biggest fear is we keep this shit going and end up in the NIT and dont even have a chance to get hot like last year.

We are five games back of Miami now does anyone seriously think we are gonna make that up?

2/2/2013 6:50:02 PM

Can we free PigPen now?

2/2/2013 6:50:06 PM

does anyone who knows anything actually think there is such thing as an ACC regular season title???

2/2/2013 6:50:53 PM

Where did I say title? Learn to read.

2/2/2013 6:51:27 PM

tough loss, but what a great game

2/2/2013 6:52:23 PM

Tyler lewis playing the way he did make me believe we have it in us to make a run when everyone gets healthy

2/2/2013 6:55:20 PM

Lots of positives, but Not in to moral victories we aren't UNC* football.

Got to get better at passing. The lazy and telegraphed passed lead to a lot of easy points for Miami. And lead to a comeback that never should of happened.

And the last time nc state ran good plays after time outs was in the 80s. Herb sucked, Sid sucked, and now gott is not doing any better.

I think I'm so frustrated because these are just little things and should be fixed easily.
/rant

Like i said positives: Lewis, great D, zone worked well, did a lot of great thing until under 3 to go Team played together scored the ball great in the second half. Needs more mental toughness

Hope brown is back for duke. We have got to win some road games. Be nice to get a bye in the ACCT

This team gaining depth should scare everyone. Fuck it. Let the natty daddy flow.

2/2/2013 7:09:49 PM

I was on the phone chatting and ended up recording the game instead of watching it live. I forgot to add extra time to the recording so I missed the last 30 seconds.

I'm so glad.



Also, I used to like Reggie Johnson. But it's really no fun playing against a giant with two simultaneously legal pivot feet. He's not even remotely graceful about it either.

And how long do you get for free throws? Cause Durand Scott is seriously pushing it, and it's crazy annoying to watch.

2/2/2013 7:17:21 PM

That ending reminded me of a game we won against Miami a few years back...we stole an inbound pass to pull up and then win. I think that was the same game that 3 students jumped out of their seats and the announcer said "and the students rush the court"

2/2/2013 7:22:00 PM

all the highlights i've seen so far on ESPN show Leslie's dunk, but not Purvis' putback

what a sham

2/2/2013 8:07:53 PM

Shit

- As much as I hate to admit it, Miami is real.

- Much respect to Tyler Lewis... great game!!!!

- Leslie needs to get his head out of his ass.

- Rest of the team played great, for the mostpart.

The season isn't going to be what I wanted it to be, but we can still have a good year. Sound familiar?

2/2/2013 9:14:58 PM

I'm still not convinced Miami is real. I think they are a really good team and deserving of their record, but I bet they lose in the 2nd round of the NCAA tourn.

2/2/2013 9:24:02 PM

i think it's almost a lock theyre a 2 seed that loses in 2nd to some random team like kansas state

DO YOU ENGLISH?

2/2/2013 9:41:35 PM

What a shitty way to lose

2/2/2013 10:44:37 PM

Well my new goal for the regular season is to somehow finish in the top 4 of the ACC so we get a bye in the ACC tourny.

2/2/2013 11:37:42 PM

is this the thread where the moron scott wood haters were? i know you guys are blind but i just wanted to give you a heads up that wood vacated the lane because A) he was behind 400 pound mountain reggie johnson and had 0 chance at getting a rebound over him and B) miami had a guy wide open for a kick out 3 and he went to guard him

2/2/2013 11:41:52 PM

it's nice to see your enthusiasm for game coverage 7 hours late

2/2/2013 11:57:46 PM

well i didnt get to see a replay of the play until they showed the highlights

2/3/2013 12:02:42 AM

wood was mostly useless today. watchin him stand around at the end of a very close game was infuriating.

2/3/2013 12:21:38 AM

but he was tired

2/3/2013 12:22:23 AM

wood's an asset to have on the court. People have to play him so tight that he's scoring points even when he's not touching the ball. He also puts us in the bonus by running off screens getting grabbed. With a true point guard like lewis, its a great combination.

Leslie is the problem with our offense. He can't seem to get points within the flow of the offense. All of his production comes catching the ball up high and isolating against the entire defense. Its often effective but it also creates a lot of turnovers and kills everyone eases rhythm. He NEVER looks for Wood when he is open. He needs to stop taking jumpshots all together but looks for them because his only goal is to audition for the nba at this point. He could care less if we lose.

Howell is ten times better college player than leslie.

2/3/2013 12:26:25 AM

does anybody have a video of the shot Lewis tried to put up at the end?

2/3/2013 12:49:00 AM

I hope Reggie Johnson dies of diabetes. That is all.

2/3/2013 12:55:01 AM

^^ 18 points, 12 rebounds with only 2 turnovers... leslie kept us in that game

I took a break from this team after the Wake Forest game. I had never been so frustrated with NCSU basketball in my life until that game. At the time I regretted skipping the UNC win, but now I realize that I made the right move. Trust me, just checking the box score is much less stressful than watching this team play.

It was nice seeing that Lewis had a solid game (at least stat-wise). Sounds like Leslie is still playing for himself instead of the team.

Who knows, maybe we'll turn things around @ Cameron on Thursday

2/3/2013 1:19:26 AM

you took a break from the team after the wake game? i figured you had been a fairweather fan your entire existence

2/3/2013 1:45:06 AM

Can we get a Duke game thread already? We need to put this game behind us quickly.

2/3/2013 2:07:47 AM

LOL @ taking a break from the team

What a fucking joke.

2/3/2013 2:23:49 AM

hahaha, losers

I was at the bar and didn't see the score, how many did Tennessee beat Arkansas by?

2/3/2013 2:36:32 AM

this wasnt our greatest team in 30 years... enjoy that underachieving bitches

2/3/2013 2:37:59 AM

at least we aren't 2nd fiddle to our womens team

2/3/2013 2:38:24 AM

yeah, you are second fiddle to... nothing? hahaha, awesome. Best there is, and still horrible. ACC is a cake walk this year, still sucking ass.

2/3/2013 2:39:49 AM

yeah, cause aside from Florida, the SEC is a bball powerhouse!
