agreed i think we'll start with AJ, Lobo, CJW, Howell, and Paintbynumbers

11/17/2011 10:46:08 PM

really guys? i dont think you are wrong though...

these are there starters... itd be nice to get tall on their guards, but no it won't be a negative thing to have AJ out there instead of Calvin

Steve Tchiengang F 6-9
Lance Goulbourne F 6-8
Jeffery Taylor F 6-7
Brad Tinsley G 6-3
Kyle Fuller G 6-1

11/17/2011 10:53:32 PM

I think we see Calvin rotating in at the post. Until de Thaey gets cleared, we only have 3 post players rotating: Howell, Painter, & Vandy. We already have 5 guards/wings, not including Wood.

11/18/2011 9:26:15 AM

NCSU press release is calling Wood "day-to-day" which probably means a Grade I ankle sprain rather than a high ankle sprain or a Grade II/III sprain. THANK YOU BABY JESUS

11/18/2011 9:45:41 AM

He'll still probably miss Vandy, but might be back in time for Syracuse?

11/18/2011 10:10:13 AM

I'm really thoroughly overjoyed to hear that news. After seeing his foot make a 90 degree angle with his leg, I thought he was out until at least January, without question.

11/18/2011 10:10:43 AM

whats the news with de Thaey? I havent been keeping up as much as I should, has there been any word on when he could be eligible?

11/18/2011 11:11:41 AM

dereck whittenburg will doing the color analysis for ESPN for the next 2 games

11/18/2011 11:51:12 AM

^^Pretty sure I saw on twitter where he isn't making the trip with the team...so he won't be back for the next couple of games at least.

11/18/2011 12:17:53 PM

yeah, de thaey didn't make it up to new jersey, so highly doubtful he plays.

11/18/2011 12:18:37 PM

that is some BS man. I thought that he was done with case.

11/18/2011 12:20:36 PM

lol

11/18/2011 1:40:26 PM

anyone confirmed a TWC channel?

11/18/2011 1:45:18 PM

he went to krispy kreme though

11/18/2011 2:30:34 PM

so what's the deal with de thaey? i know it was an 'amateurism' issue... but any details on that?

[Edited on November 18, 2011 at 2:50 PM. Reason : ae ea whatever]

11/18/2011 2:49:51 PM

he's a law breaker

11/18/2011 2:53:49 PM

^^Pretty much everybody overseas gets paid in some capacity to play even in youth and lower levels sometimes. amateurism isn't really a concept that has any significance in their sports world. They probably have to check with every team he played on to make sure he wasn't paid. Kanter for Kentucky got in trouble last year for this.

11/18/2011 3:17:27 PM

From the Vanderbilt athletics website, gives me some hope for the game tomorrow:

Quote :

"N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried is very familiar with Vanderbilt - the Wolfpack mentor coached against the Commodores from 1999-2009 as the head coach at Alabama, and for the last two seasons, has called SEC Network games for ESPN and ESPN Regional."

I heard from someone 630.

11/18/2011 4:32:34 PM

Scott Wood seems to be walking ok

11/18/2011 8:10:21 PM

I bet TBDV shed a single tear when he said that

11/18/2011 8:24:59 PM

thats probably the best thing ive seen

11/18/2011 11:39:35 PM

i'm not embarrassed to say it, i LOVE this basketball team. i don't care how they finish, this is easily my favorite team in the last six years.

[Edited on November 18, 2011 at 11:52 PM. Reason : i wish tracy smith was still on it though ]

11/18/2011 11:51:46 PM

^ what you said.

However, what i wish is that Tracy Smith had someone like these coaches to whip their ass into shape and get even more out of them.

The "we're gonna play Tracy some at the 4 this year..." FAIL

11/19/2011 1:24:26 AM

those jackets rule

11/19/2011 1:52:46 AM

If they're allowing Scott to walk around NYC, his ankle must be feeling pretty good...

^This. I really dig these guys, and they seem to love playing together. I haven't felt this kind of vibe since the V days.

11/19/2011 7:27:29 AM

yeah, they seem to have great team chemistry. hopefully it's worth an extra W somewhere.

11/19/2011 8:22:41 AM

It seems like more than just the team chemistry. They actually seem to kinda like each other. Of course, that helps translate to chemistry on the court.

I don't remember seeing videos of previous recent teams having fun their away trips. But, I could be wrong about that.

11/19/2011 9:11:25 AM

i don't remember previous teams taking trips to nyc

11/19/2011 9:13:45 AM

Fair point, the only place the team's been in recent years that's worth mentioning is New Orleans.

11/19/2011 9:21:12 AM

Roll Call
Brass Monkey

I hope there will be a good showing of Pack fans.

That fuckin video makes me laugh everytime, I think that I have watched at least 8 times already.

11/19/2011 11:49:58 AM

It doesn't look like this will be on the special event channels via twc

Time to figure out espn3 I guess

11/19/2011 12:15:41 PM

how about a justin tv stream?

11/19/2011 2:43:31 PM

maybe http://www.justin.tv/frankcal22#/w/2097157616/2 or http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/93051/1/watch-(20)-vanderbilt-vs-nc-state.html

lorenzo brown is 12th in the nation in assists and 4th in steals

11/19/2011 3:21:13 PM

how is this game not on tv? Whats the sense in having a "classic" in a pro arena with no tv deal.

11/19/2011 4:22:03 PM

I am so excited about this team that I have forgotten that we are up on Clemson in FB right now.

11/19/2011 5:09:38 PM

watch espn needs a TWC login? wtf. hopefully the streams ^^^ will work

11/19/2011 6:18:28 PM

stream, anyone?

11/19/2011 6:28:16 PM

pulling some double duty watching football on tv and basketball on the laptop

11/19/2011 6:31:22 PM

Hey, Wittenberg commentating!!! At least one of the announce team won't hate NC State!!!!

11/19/2011 6:32:09 PM

Harris starting in place of Wood? Over Calvin? Now that's weird.

11/19/2011 6:32:15 PM

Damn, Tyler Harris starting.

11/19/2011 6:32:19 PM

paused football, I'll finish it after basketball

11/19/2011 6:32:28 PM

Oh dear, we've started the game full retard

11/19/2011 6:34:53 PM

Switching back to football.
