"They didn't hit one in the second half, 0-7"

I will take a moral victory. This team sure needs it.

2/7/2013 11:16:01 PM

actually moving Zo to the 2 isn't a terrible idea. Coach K has used the two PG strategy successfully in the Olympics and at Duke with Duhon/Williams.

Purvis has been bad enough on both ends that we may actually be a better team that way.

i dont care if jevoni has never touched a basketball before in his life

a full court press end of game situation is never going to be a good spot for v-burg

lol Mics back on

2/7/2013 11:16:48 PM

these announcers are a bunch of ass holes

2/7/2013 11:17:03 PM

What are they saying and where are you hearing this? The news is on

2/7/2013 11:18:04 PM

to be fair ...

mics off they did say state looked fantastic in the second half

Zo/Lewis could work if Zo is the de facto PG for fast breaks and when we need penetration and/or have to force something at the end of the game. Lewis' athletic disadvantages are too exacerbated in those scenarios.

He's better in the half court if he's able to get the ball moving (and having Zo out there when he can't would be perfect). Plus that would also let Purvis come off the bench and only shoot open 3s and score fast break lay ups.

Decent idea.

2/7/2013 11:18:47 PM

like i said before the game ....


there was no way suliamon was going to go 0-10 again and they were going to shot 10% from 3


they scored 30pts of 3's in the game.

a two PG strategy with russell westbrook and chris paul is a little different than lewis and brown

2/7/2013 11:19:42 PM

they shot 0-7 from the 3 in the 2nd half

2/7/2013 11:19:55 PM

question we have to ask now, how are we gonna use Cat Barber next year? I think Tyler has proven that he will be our starting PG for the next 3 years...

2/7/2013 11:20:09 PM

the acc network live stream had the announcers candidly talking shit about NC State not knowing they were still on the air and their mics were on, makes sense now why they didn't have the live stream working earlier, Swofford must of cherry picked these guys

2/7/2013 11:20:13 PM

they didn't really say anything but "NC State" and then made some grunts and maybe two words. It's not like they were trashing the program.

2/7/2013 11:21:32 PM

People tweeting to hodge that duke fans were chanting how's your grandma to Tyler Lewis at the end. Anyone at the game able to confirm? That's fucked up if true.

2/7/2013 11:21:46 PM

How is his Grandma?

2/7/2013 11:22:27 PM

Dead, as of the day before the Miami game.

2/7/2013 11:22:45 PM

dead?

i think barber can play off the ball some. boo williams is going to be PISSED if he isnt starting though. did he already sign an LOI?

2/7/2013 11:23:12 PM

i heard "Bilbo Baggins" chants early on, which are what makes Cameron Crazies the fans they are

i would seriously hope they wouldn't make fun of someone losing a grandparent though

2/7/2013 11:23:26 PM

lol at sportscenter's montage of the duke game at state...seems so long ago

2/7/2013 11:24:56 PM

Dude. Cat Barber is a stud. Lewis will not start over him unless it's for a few games at the start of the year. Let's get some perspective here.

The audio started with one of the guys saying "Oh God NC State" and the next guy goes on to explain how he dreads the next game he was going announce.

2/7/2013 11:25:38 PM

yeah, because making fun of a dead grandparent is absolutely terrible. We would never do something like that, especially not to a guy who is a known nutpuncher

2/7/2013 11:25:39 PM

i remember when chris paul punched hodge in the nuts and then after the game said we were chanting "i killed your grandpa" or something, even though no one else heard it, even on wake, and the media picked up on it

2/7/2013 11:26:32 PM

2-3 fans made fun of CP3's grandpa, and were immediately berated by the rest of the fans in earshot

it wasn't a concerted effort by the entire student section of the arena

obviously

2/7/2013 11:26:45 PM

I texted a buddy at the game (State fan) about it..will update when I have more information. #sources.

Joe Ovies did point out that no one from press row has tweeted about, which probably would've happened had they chanted about his grandmother

2/7/2013 11:27:00 PM

I remember yelling at Alex Stepheson when we beat UNC at home in 2007 to "pull the dildo out of his ass" (he is gay, literally) while he was taking foul shots when it was quiet. Loud enough people around me are turning around and I am 7th row right behind the goal.

2/7/2013 11:27:03 PM

You're a real credit to our university, BlackDog

2/7/2013 11:28:17 PM

that raises more questions than lols

2/7/2013 11:28:18 PM

looking at the schedule, we should be favored and win the rest of our games (@ unc is questionable at this point). ill take 13-5, 12-6 and i'd say that should be good for at least the 3 seed in the acc tourny

2/7/2013 11:29:03 PM

you're fucking crazy

2/7/2013 11:30:39 PM

I was told to keep my opinion to myself after I told Hansblow that I hope his children are born without eyelids while running out the tunnel.

2/7/2013 11:30:46 PM

what would you have been yelling at a gay guy from UNC when we are winning?

2/7/2013 11:30:53 PM

It's bad when aaronburro calls you out for your homophobia

yeah. no.

i thought that we'd be a 13-5 team before ACC play started based on our how we were playing in DECEMBER.

too late for that

11-7 is likely, 10-8 is a possibility, 12-6 would be awesome, 13-5 is a fucking fantasy

2/7/2013 11:33:21 PM

seriously what other games are we going to be underdogs in? @ unc maybe, @ fsu probably not. we should be fine especially when brown comes back. look, we have gotten the tough part of our acc schedule over with.

2/7/2013 11:35:58 PM

yeah dude 13-5 is a pipe dream. It's currently assigned a 5% probability and that's not factoring in our Duke loss yet so its sub 5%.

And laughable that you think we'll be favored at UNC. We'll be 4-5 point underdogs dude. About 2:1 underdogs to win straight up. Sucks but that's reality.

And to think we'll win all three of our ~50-50 games (@Clemson, @GT, @FSU).... well .5 x .5 x .5 is 12.5%. So we're looking at a small likelihood of that too.

have you been watching this team this year? It doesn't matter if we're underdogs or not. We're in deep shit

2/7/2013 11:38:07 PM

02/10/13 at Clemson
02/16/13 vs. Virginia Tech
02/19/13 vs. Florida State

02/27/13 vs. Boston College
03/03/13 at Georgia Tech
03/06/13 vs. Wake Forest
03/09/13 at Florida State

lookin' like we'll go L, W, W, L, W, L, W, L

that's 9-9

someone convince me we'll win a road game

[Edited on February 7, 2013 at 11:42 PM. Reason : .]

2/7/2013 11:38:44 PM

we just lost 3 fucking games in a row in devastating fashion. we shouldn't be favored to beat anyone at this point. this type of losing fucks with everyone's heads.

i don't think the entire season is over, but we have ZERO chance of winning the conference. we're .500 in FEBRUARY.

3rd place in the ACC would be a great accomplishment given how far we've tumbled.

[Edited on February 7, 2013 at 11:39 PM. Reason : .]

2/7/2013 11:38:58 PM

I'll put my TWW money on with Brown back 12-6

^ we just had the hardest stretch in our ACC schedule over the last 3 games. I called this on FB before the UVA game.

Also do you realize this is the first game we have lost in the ACC that was by more than 3 points




[Edited on February 7, 2013 at 11:42 PM. Reason : _]

2/7/2013 11:39:37 PM

^ Fair value on 12-6 or better is 4:1 odds, so obviously you'd be taking a horrible bet. Get the 4:1 odds before you do it

2/7/2013 11:40:44 PM

I consider myself a pessimist. I can't hold a candle to you fucks though.

yeah we lost 3 in a row - to the current top 3 teams in the conference, 2 on the road, without our second best player.

typical fan overreactions:

a loss - the sky is falling

a win - we are the best team in the world

also, what the hell you talking about with percentages and odds? use your damn eyes

2/7/2013 11:42:19 PM

I'd love it if you were right, but going 8-0 just isn't going to happen. We aren't that good. Even when we are winning, we fucking choke away games. We STILL don't play consistent defense, still suck a FT shooting, and still play down to the level of our competition.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't think we're horrible or going to miss the NCAAs, but 8-0 at this point is NOT happening.
