I've felt this way since the start of the year.

It really doesn't matter who we have at point guard because he would be on the bench the entire 2nd half in favor of a player who doesn't even try.

2/23/2013 6:15:52 PM

we definitely need to hire a 65 year old like miami did

he will be our coach of the future

oh btw, they got their asses whooped by wake forest today

2/23/2013 6:16:11 PM

The answer is to wait until K retires and Chris Collins runs them into the ground. Then hopefully we have the pieces in place that year to step up.

so in other words complaining that we're terrible and never going to be good is worthless.

CJL is just a dumb player. Get over it.

2/23/2013 6:16:26 PM

Guys! We're like 22 points from being undefeated in the league! Calm the fuck down. This team's going far...

2/23/2013 6:17:34 PM

Hope this stings for the players. It's too late in the season to play flat.

2/23/2013 6:18:58 PM

What the fuck does that stat even matter/mean

Wake the fuck up

2/23/2013 6:19:12 PM

We are barely a top 30 team, we've gone exactly where we are going

2/23/2013 6:19:18 PM

i'm guessing the players are pretty pissed

2/23/2013 6:19:29 PM

Wood wood be pissed

Too bad, NC State will never dream of being where they are right now. As good as we were SUPPOSED to be, they are doing even better that with less talent because they have a great coach. A coach that took a team of nobodies to the final four. Its a shame Gottfried is young. He actually has a chance to lead us to 20 years of mediocrity. Terrible business plan.

2/23/2013 6:21:38 PM

Dawkins will return

2/23/2013 6:21:48 PM

Steve Wojo

2/23/2013 6:21:52 PM

It means we're in good shape. We were that close in the nose dome. Obviously we'll tear through the tournament...

2/23/2013 6:22:42 PM

Haha. Duke is fucked with any of those guys.

2/23/2013 6:22:49 PM

The only light at the end of the tunnel here is that every single night we see great teams lose wtf games to terribe teams. So despite the fact we look terrible most nights and play to our competition, we still have talent out there and the two tournaments this year appear to be wide open. Given all that we will lose to UVA in the 4/5 game then lose an 8/9 matchup.

2/23/2013 6:23:13 PM

why oh why can't we be 27-0 right now

fire debbie

2/23/2013 6:23:33 PM

Brad Stevens is waiting on that Duke job don't you worry

2/23/2013 6:24:24 PM

Brad stevens wont leave, he wants to be Butler's coach K

2/23/2013 6:25:13 PM

Stevens is a terrible coach, he's 1-2 in his last 3 home games

"Richard Howell is the only dude that shows up every damn game. "

He has been our best player all year. In my non-expert analysis, he's got the best draft stock of anyone on our team, followed by Zo. I also wouldn't go near Leslie, he looks like a bust at this point. I could see him being out of the league playing in Europe or some shit in a couple years. Not because he isn't talented but it seems like his mental/ego/selfishness issues are going to prevent him from reaching his potential.

This is all just so fucking frustrating

2/23/2013 6:25:53 PM

i think Duke will go with a "family" guy, but if he doesnt do well after 3 years, they will prolly pay $BANK for big name, or Brad Stevens

2/23/2013 6:33:00 PM

There were a few obvious occasions where Brown/Wood refused to go to Leslie in the post when he had position..... and I don't blame them.

2/23/2013 6:33:54 PM

TreeTwista trying to pretend like anyone critical wants everyone fired and the school burnt to the ground again... like he does every time.

its okay to be critical when its deserved man, stop being such an apologist.

2/23/2013 6:35:53 PM

Fire Tree. He doesn't hate all the things too.

2/23/2013 6:38:20 PM

so "being critical" = fire gottfried, leslie is the worst player ever, etc

gotcha

UNC played absolutely terribly and they are really down on talent this year.

We are very lucky they blew so many easy baskets, rebounded so poorly, had that mini meltdown in the 2nd half, and Wood was hot today.

We very easily could have lost this game by 20-25 points had all those things not gone our way. An 82-59 type loss would have really been ugly.

I think this was probably our second worst performance of the year behind the OSU debacle. What makes that sickening is that UNC played so badly that we could have stolen this upset with even an average performance.

2/23/2013 6:44:33 PM

out of all of our 8 losses this season, this was my least favorite

that's what you are trying to make it equivalent to

2/23/2013 6:48:21 PM

no, thats what the fans on here i'm making fun of ARE making it equivalent to

2/23/2013 6:49:05 PM

my favorite loss was probably to Miami

2/23/2013 6:50:41 PM

my favorite losses were to UNCA and Clemson

2/23/2013 6:54:57 PM

damn I had forgotten about the UNCA loss

2/23/2013 6:56:23 PM

My favorite win was against UNC

2/23/2013 6:58:04 PM

my favorite loss was OKST.

2/23/2013 6:58:35 PM

My favorite loss was to Oklahoma State because it really was a wake up call for our team, and then we went on to not be fucking mediocre like the past 30 goddamn years.

2/23/2013 6:59:13 PM

you guys are crazy

Miami was a wildly entertaining loss

Much more of an enjoyable loss than getting blown out by OSU when we were #6 in the country

2/23/2013 7:00:17 PM

in related news, I enjoyed losing to UVa on Homecoming

2/23/2013 7:01:46 PM

my favorite loss was definitely Virginia Tech earlier this week

2/23/2013 7:01:58 PM

crap I forgot we also lost to UNC in football last season

man was that a terrible loss.

why am I a State fan again?

2/23/2013 7:04:46 PM

^^^hey, whatever it took to get tob fired

as inconsistent as CJL is, you'd at least expect him to bring it against UNC, but obviously not today

2/23/2013 8:10:44 PM

if Leslie is some egotistical selfish guy (even though he came back to play for us this year), he has to know that playing poorly isn't going to help his draft stock

but again, one bad game isn't the end of the season, or his NBA stock, etc

if he has a game with 6 turnovers where he scores 24 and has 11 boards and 3 blocks, its not a huge deal
