we have looked more impressive in previous years, including last year.

but no i dont think we will be last in the acc. once they get used to running up tempo and get comfortable i think there will be some explosiveness.

11/17/2006 10:24:55 PM

We've shown dramatic improvement over the first 4 games. Grant's windmill reverse dunk or whatever the hell it was was hot. We got quite a few fast breaks to grant. We still have slight issues with turnovers but overall the team looked very good tonight.

New to State? We only light the bell tower red for ACC or NCAA tourney wins. Been that way forever.

^^ yeah, I'm encouraged but people need to realize this is a young team that will have games like this and then throw up defensive stinkers too. It's fun to watch but I still don't see us higher than 8-9 in the ACC..

Great effort tonight though. I can drink happily (tonight until the suicide that is watching NC State football tomorrow)..

11/17/2006 10:41:12 PM

^ haha. I wholeheartedly agree with that last statement.

11/17/2006 10:42:47 PM

Yeah they are continuing to improve each game, this is the first one that hasn't been somewhat close, we pretty much dominated the whole first half but you could tell the shallow bench and fast break offence was wearing on them, defence started to suffer in the second half because they were getting tired, not going up for rebounds with the same hustle. (of course we were also up 20 pts then)

But how about that reverse windmill dunk by Grant, holy hell........

11/17/2006 11:05:16 PM

deleware state is a pretty good team. they are a herb team but they are still pretty good and we played them great. better than the #5 team in the nation did. nobody can say we flat out suck. if brandon can keep ryhtem WATCH OUT.

i really think we will be in the "pack" of the acc. we won't be the 1 or 2 teams that flatout suck and we won't be the typical 3-4 teams in strong contension. we are a good team and will only get better and also add another good guard trover ferguson. DON'T FORGET THAT. we'll be 8 deep.

11/17/2006 11:05:38 PM

I honestly didnt expect to ever beat a team by 20 this year. We are sticking to this new system better than I thought.

11/17/2006 11:11:24 PM

yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is our depth. If we get in foul trouble or someone gets hurt, we're fucked.

11/17/2006 11:23:52 PM

if any of our players get injured we would be better off to forfeit the season ... however lowe's undefeated as a college coach <-- speaks volumes of his coaching ability IMO for the team we got fielded this year

11/17/2006 11:26:38 PM

i agree if someone gets hurt we are fucked but the foul trouble thing wont be so bad because there is no 1 guy we need on the floor at all times (atsur will less so be that way when trevor joines)

11/17/2006 11:28:08 PM

If someone gets hurt, it will not affect the team in any way

ok, unreasonable arguement ensues!

11/17/2006 11:40:39 PM

those dunks were amazing tonight

11/17/2006 11:51:08 PM

as much as i liked the dunks

the best part was the halftime game and that one elementary school team running game on the other

11/17/2006 11:53:38 PM

ahaha we were yelling to start giving those kids schollys NOW

11/17/2006 11:56:43 PM

haha that was great. it was louder for that game than it was for the real game

that 3 pt shot (i think, wasn't really watching) was as loud as it got all night


and for some reason i re-read what i said and read that the drunks were the best part all night

11/17/2006 11:57:25 PM

#1 on white the dude with the blue headband commited tonight.

dude is amazing. he hit the 3 drove the lane at will and had about 3 steals.

11/18/2006 12:03:21 AM

yeah some of those kids were BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNNNNN

[Edited on November 18, 2006 at 12:04 AM. Reason : ^#1 especially]

11/18/2006 12:03:51 AM

COACH

I GOT HOOP DREAMS

11/18/2006 12:07:30 AM

about the refs. fells had a clean block and there were a few bs travels. they handchecked atsur like everytime down.

number one on white the dude with the blue headband....

11/18/2006 12:26:19 AM

did anyone notice it was basically the black kid team schooling the white kid team

11/18/2006 12:33:04 AM

^ hahaha yeah

11/18/2006 12:41:01 AM

did anyone catch the names of the two schools?

as usual i heard garblegarblegarble

11/18/2006 1:07:44 AM

I don't know but they had a white kid #30 that waved his hands to call for crowd noise and then did the julius hodge frog floor pound after he hit a two pointer. Him and number one in white had more poise and confidence than Bartosz

11/18/2006 1:29:25 AM

^yeah that white kid was pretty good too, he kept playing point guard for his team and did all that after driving in on some guys for a nice layup.....

hah its pretty funny this thread had become more about the little kids' halftime game than ours

11/18/2006 1:47:20 AM

who said it was schools? its wasnt schools and nobody said anything about that.

it was raleigh parks and rec. gators vs heat

"did anyone catch the names of the two schools?"

think it was the old sendek squad versus UNC

basically what it looked like, white kids and all

11/18/2006 2:03:35 AM

I miss Herb's stance on dunking the ball

"I'll say the same if this keeps up agaist good teams. However, how quickly people forget we scored 91 points in each of our first 2 games just last year.."

yeah, but that was a 3-pt heavy offense - then SI called us an offensive powerhouse - and after theat we couldn't hit shit

GTFO! that reverse jam from grant was the best dunk i've ever seen in person

11/18/2006 4:40:43 AM

ya i won't mind losing the way we're playing. but wehn you're losing a game and runnign a 35foot weave for 30 seconds when time is against you kills me.

deleware state ran that stupid shit down like 14 8 minutes to go still running it.

at least we will lose games this year because the other team is just better than us that night.

11/18/2006 5:43:38 AM

we looked very good last night in the 1st Half. The 2nd half was ugly/boring. But the guys put on a show in the 1st Half. Fells' dunk late in the game was great.


GO PACK

11/18/2006 8:29:43 AM

11/18/2006 8:36:04 AM

Actually, we light it for any football or basketball win (men or women), or any ACC or national championship in any sport, as well as several other academic related events.

Ok, I did miss a word...half right, ACC wins (he said tourney wins).

11/18/2006 9:39:10 AM

he said acc wins or ncaa tourney wins

[Edited on November 18, 2006 at 10:04 AM. Reason : you didnt seriously think he only meant acc tourney wins]

Since people seemed to be struggling with this...

11/18/2006 10:09:50 AM

I'm digging the uptempness. Sid is going to run those guy's balls off. We're probably going to lose a fair amount of games this year, but it also wouldn't surprise me if we go .500 in the ACC either. I liked Sendek as a person (met him a few times - brilliant dude) , but I haven't been this excited about NCSU basketball in several years.

11/18/2006 11:48:21 AM

ivee got the christmas parade? where is the game?

11/18/2006 12:02:42 PM

this game happened last night

11/18/2006 12:08:02 PM

i think the blue team with all the white kids on it had a latino kid on there. looked like he played center. he was on the floor during the first game, before they switched out the players.

11/18/2006 2:56:54 PM

is ncsuftw1 going to compile a highlight vid of this game?

11/19/2006 9:04:39 AM

I guess this was the intentional foul I heard on the radio...haha wtf

11/19/2006 12:42:42 PM

i wish our football team could tackle like that

11/19/2006 4:32:17 PM

i couldnt go to the game. someone please make a highlight video. i must see these dunks.
