I don't think this fanbase is used to having >6 ACC caliber rotation players. The core of this team is Lacey, Turner, and BJ if last night didn't make that clear. Everyone else is moving parts so I have no problem with situation and strategy dictating playtime. Especially this early in the season when we're still searching for the most effective lineups.

12/18/2014 1:31:31 PM

West Virginia is the #1 team in steals. We have to keep turnovers to a minimum or this could get ugly.

12/18/2014 3:09:44 PM

We all know that the biggest reason for struggling right now is the lack of Thomas DeThaey.

12/18/2014 3:17:27 PM

^ jiggles climed out his hole. How'd you like that beat down last night fat boy?

12/18/2014 5:31:21 PM

Huh? I don't give a shit because I don't know who a jiggles is? Is this fat boy insult stuff like a plot to get me to post a super sexy photo of myself since I'm not a fat jiggle or whatever the fuck?

You can't have my cock, buddy.

wow, brutal stretch over the next 7 games.

12/19/2014 3:12:20 PM

going more than .500 in the next 7 would be tremendous, and tourney worthy.

I think we go 4-3

12/19/2014 3:51:31 PM

Headed to NYC. I thought that was Zo Brown for a split second.

12/19/2014 3:58:48 PM

even after those next 7...@FSU, @Miami, and ND won't be easy. We don't get a "break" in the schedule until the next 3 game stretch of Clemson, @GT, @WF

12/19/2014 4:00:46 PM

I think coach has been purposefully sandbagging with lennard freeman's playing time and roleplaying thus far - specifically to pop him out during this tough upcoming stetch when teams expect our bigs to be our weakness

(pipedream)

Keepin' it Reel with BeeJay Anya and Lennard Freeman... pretty hilarious

12/19/2014 5:00:14 PM

Not to be that guy but Cincy just lost their coach for the year.

12/20/2014 2:09:07 PM

How is it that ESPN has our RPI ranking at #57 but our non-conference RPI at #9? How does that work and why is there such a difference?

12/22/2014 3:29:03 AM

Purdue lost at home to Gardner-Webb today. OOC RPI is going to be very bubblicious if we do not win the last two.

12/22/2014 9:40:11 PM

And Purdue was face raped by ND this weekend. That loss may end up worse than the Woffard loss. Tourney hopes could be bleak unless we knock off 2-3 of the top ACC teams this season and beat the ones we are supposed to.

12/22/2014 11:50:17 PM

Man I hope we find a way to make the tounament so we can lose on free throws

12/23/2014 12:38:10 AM

Hahaha tourney hopes

12/23/2014 3:02:21 AM

FWIW State is at 51 on the Bilas Index, LT is 49

12/23/2014 8:43:13 AM

So what's happened to the game threads?

12/23/2014 9:05:16 AM

We are getting trucked by midmajors. ACC is going to destroy us.

12/23/2014 7:54:08 PM

We are Undefeated undisputed co leaders of the acc.

Seth Davis ranks us as a sell. Hard to argue most of this except I wouldn't call the loss to WVU embarrassing. If anything, Wofford was way more embarrassing being at home and against a weaker team.

Quote :

"N.C. State (10-3, NR): SELL The Wolfpack’s best wins came at home against Boise State and Tennessee, but they couldn’t win at Purdue, they got embarrassed on a neutral court by West Virginia and they lost at home to Wofford. Beginning on Jan. 7, they have a brutal conference stretch with road games at Virginia, Florida State and Miami plus home games against Duke, North Carolina and Notre Dame. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Pack lose five of those six games. After that, they could face a very steep climb back to respectability."

I follow this dude on twitter and he seems to love hating on us. It's not the typical Doyel schtick where he trolls us so I don't get it. It's more ignoring or perpetually underrating us. Last year when Warren was lighting up the ACC and was the best scorer in the nation, he would always downplay TJ while giving tons of love to Mcdermott. He also seems to have a major hardon for mid-majors so maybe that has something to do with it.

12/29/2014 3:28:44 PM

The next time Davis says something positive about us will be the first. He's right this time though.

12/29/2014 3:45:52 PM

Not looking forward to playing Duke, Louisville, and virginia. If they don't press us every play they are crazy. We will probably curl up on the floor in the fetal position and hand them the ball for wide open dunks.

12/30/2014 9:38:42 PM

He went to duke. I hate him.

12/30/2014 10:09:45 PM

I predict we get hot in the end and squeak our way in, as has been typical fashion.

12/30/2014 10:22:57 PM

florida is all about improbable endings against acc teams

12/30/2014 10:42:42 PM

mother of God, thats worse than I expected

12/31/2014 4:58:47 AM

Why do we always have a guard and a big trying to beat the press? Why not two guards?

12/31/2014 11:56:03 AM

^Been saying that as well since WVU. Why not have Turner/Martin/Dez/Lacey throw it in?

[Edited on December 31, 2014 at 12:32 PM. Reason : 77 in KenPom and RPI now.....lot of work to do]

12/31/2014 12:31:40 PM

I mean it seems like something they're doing on purpose at this point. I just don't understand why...

12/31/2014 12:43:12 PM

Some people use a big to break the press because he is a high target for an easy givengo but we dont do that

12/31/2014 12:47:22 PM

^Right - there is some strategy there. But it doesn't seem to be working all that great for us. Put Washington or Abu back there and they are easy targets for throwing over the press and hitting an open man. But it seems like we need more ball handlers back there. With Washington or Abu back there, they have been indecisive and held the ball for too long. Against WV Abu had at least 2 bad turnovers vs the press. And last night Washington nearly got a 10 second violation.

UVA in double overtime against Miami. Either this will tire them out or they will play with a vengeance when we see them.

1/3/2015 8:00:23 PM

Were in first place with a game in hand bruh

1/3/2015 8:01:20 PM

WF will be a game in hand for everyone, bruh

1/3/2015 8:02:33 PM

BPI has us as #6 ACC team and projected at-large bid (albeit an 11 seed play-in team). SOS at #15.

1/5/2015 12:35:46 AM

^^Sure gave Louisville a hell of a scare last night.

1/5/2015 7:27:35 AM

What would happen if Mr. Wuf was allowed to start? I bet it would be like when Ernest played basketball and he had magic sneakers.

1/5/2015 8:44:31 AM

Well based on results, we're not a bubble team at this point.
