"We can't even guard the perimeter against normal teams, Duke actually runs an offense designed to produce open 3's. This one will be ugly. Even if we're tied at half we'll still lose by double digits in all likelihood."

This worries me as well.

I have very little hope that we'll be able to keep this game close due to Duke's 3 pt shooting. Face is right about this game. We'll have to shoot the lights out on our own end if we hope to stand a chance. Wood will need to get open. Wonder who duke will put on him?

Duke = 91
State = 77

2/13/2012 9:46:34 AM

Well, we're due our HOW IN THE HELL? win for this season. Maybe this will be it.

Scott Wood shoots 11 3's into the wrong basket.

CJL gets kneecapped by a group of Duke tuffs from the Neurobiology Club

Ronnie Shavlik plants a bomb in the middle of the road in front of Everett Case's grave

The Plumlee Brothers throw a blue shell at Zo Brown, making him lose a size level and his fire-throwing ability

State loses 150-2

Everyone involved is locked inside Harrelson bathrooms and the building is imploded.

Greatest defensive game in modern history.

12-13, State

2/13/2012 10:48:50 AM

We just need for Wood to go off on them like he did @Syracuse last year. Then have CJW and crew pick up the rest.

2/13/2012 11:54:57 AM

No we need Wood to think he's playing FSU early.

I think it was in '94, or whatever season Coach K had surgery. Before that, the last time NC State beat a Coach K-led team in Cameron was in 1988.

2/13/2012 1:49:18 PM

we're gonna need javi gonzalez to go off on 3pters again so we can beat these sonsabitchez by about 14 points.

2/13/2012 1:51:32 PM

Duke lives off points inside the arc. I guarantee they get those against us.

They shoot threes all day. That's our main weakness defensively.

Defensively they are much better than we are.
They are hopelessly athletic and have a great bench.

I like Duke vs the spread. This has all the makings of a 30+ point blowout that might only be a 15 point spread.

Fells is going to need to block Thomas, then pull the ball down with one hand and throw an outlet pass to Gonzalez, then Grant for the dunk.

I always love looking at the faces in the background during that video. Every jaw is dropped.

2/13/2012 2:23:24 PM

^haha, still one of the more amazing blocks I have ever seen. Fells had the physical part down....mentally, he was soft though

2/13/2012 3:00:39 PM

every jaw is literally dropped

2/13/2012 3:05:51 PM

How did we manage to loose that game?

I forget, did it involve javi stumbling the ball away?

2/13/2012 3:11:52 PM

Was that the game where Sean Dockery nailed a 3 at the buzzer to win it from just inside of half court?

2/13/2012 3:15:30 PM

that was against Vtech I think.

2/13/2012 3:26:15 PM

That was against VT, unless he also did it against us.

They just give him a free look from 40 feet. I make that shot 2 times out of 10; a D1 guard is probably closer to 1 out of 3, if not more. Greenberg again proves his ineptitude.

2/13/2012 3:29:05 PM

1 out of 3 my ass

most college players arent 33% from right behind the arc let alone 20 feet deeper

2/13/2012 3:38:52 PM

so duke has been selling some student tickets to home games this year. any idea how we could acquire these? i'd love to be able to go to this game for a reasonable (like $70ish or under) price.

2/13/2012 3:39:52 PM

Any Duke student selling their seats to a home ACC game vs a competent opponent for $70 or less isn't putting their 30K education to good use. But please, do share if you find some in that range.

2/13/2012 3:42:34 PM

no, the University has been selling them when the student section hasn't filled up. Ever since that article ran I don't think they've done it though. (maybe)

[Edited on February 13, 2012 at 3:44 PM. Reason : seriously doubt it'll happen for our game.]

2/13/2012 3:43:49 PM

/^^^^ haha doh, yeah that was the one, i don't know why i remembered us as being the victim of that.

cameron crazies, more like cameron lazies AM I RIGHT???

2/13/2012 4:01:51 PM

yeah it was direct from the box office. either online or at the window. i never really got much info on it, just that they were selling about 300 tickets in the student section per game.

"When you say opportunity, I'm assuming you're talking about these next three games, Duke, Florida State and North Carolina, just a chance really to cement yourself as an NCAA Tournament team? I'm not talking about three games. I'm talking about one game. That's all we're worried about. And you know, I think what's -- I think a mistake that people make is that grouping these three together. We have got six very, very difficult conference teams left, not three, six. And we have one very difficult game Thursday and that's where our attention is. It's not anywhere past one game."

Not sure if serious.

There is entirely too much optimism in this thread for us to come out with a win. TWW game thread optimism is inversely proportional to actual odds of winning.

2/13/2012 9:55:16 PM

agreed...i remember getting tweets from some Wolfpack players (who shall go un-named) during halftime of the Texas game, talking about how they were getting fired up from reading the TWW thread on their cellphones instead of listening to Gottfried's halftime advice

2/13/2012 10:23:02 PM

Great. What?

I definitely dreamed last night that we won this game. I was in the front row. The crowd was about the size of your typical women's game. Lowe was coach again.
