I think every sports fan in the world would be feeling pity- almost bordering on respect- for us State fans!

A bunch of those are legit contenders for "why the refs hate NCSU".

I mean, the hodge foul on Butler with seconds left? The mysterious intentional called on Melvin at the Vandy game? the technical on herbie for not leaving the floor quick enough?

That's just cold. Even at the Duke game, what about Zo's dish to howell Where he got totally mugged at the ~2 min mark?

2/19/2012 2:26:43 PM

let us not forget demarcus nelson blatantly hooking mccauley in the final seconds and mccauley picking up the foul.

although in hindsight, that was in the middle of a 9 game losing streak, so it's hard to really blame the refs.

2/19/2012 2:32:23 PM

I'm surprised the game versus Wisconsin in the sweet sixteen was left off.

2/19/2012 3:37:06 PM

So there could still be hope (assuming loss at UNC) if we beat Miami, win out, and Miami loses to FSU?

2/21/2012 12:20:47 PM

I would think that we would need to win out and beat a ranked opponent in the ACC tourney to have a chance at getting in (if we lose to unc tonight)

[Edited on February 21, 2012 at 12:23 PM. Reason : asdf]

2/21/2012 12:21:50 PM

No. If we lose tonight, win out and win just one ACCT game, we will be in. That's 11 ACC wins.

I've heard this, but it was a bit different and sounded much better.

this is what I've always heard:

Quote :

"Valvano: "Hey ref, can you give me a technical for what I think?" Ref: "No, Jimmy, I can't T you up for what you think." Valvano: "Good, cause I think you suck!""

wonder which is true (if either)

2/21/2012 12:58:53 PM

So, Texas losing last night helps us right? At first I was pulling for them so our win against them would look better but then I realized they are on the bubble with us.

Fucking hell, I was at 5 of these games.

- Collapse against Duke in 03
- Collapse against UMd in 04
- Collapse against Vandy in 04
- Chris Paul cockpunch game (fyi: our idiot fans in the endzone on the home end of the floor where I was sitting started the "drive home safely" chant up by 4 with under 20 seconds to go)
- Loss to Davidson in 93

I was sitting in the same section. I was actually first row, behind the basket, nearest the bench. I was so angry that people were already lining up to rush. Did they not understand how NC State sports work?

2/21/2012 2:46:09 PM

miami just blew it at maryland. enough to knock them below us on the bubble?

[Edited on February 21, 2012 at 10:12 PM. Reason : unlikely]

2/21/2012 10:08:03 PM

miami lost tonight. if we win out, and miami loses to FSU, we stay at 5th in the ACC. in the ACCT we play 12th seed, then in 2nd round we play 4th seed (likely virginia) and have a chance at beating them and getting an in.

2/21/2012 10:13:30 PM

i feel sorry for you people who think we are gonna make the NCAAT.
just accept that we aren't. you'll thank me for it later

2/21/2012 10:15:26 PM

Miami just lost, I think we have a shot at the tournament

2/21/2012 10:15:44 PM

I don't think it is unrealistic that we're still on the bubble. We're competing with Virginia and Miami for the 4-5 spot... we have a great opportunity to sweep Miami, and Virginia has to play UNC/FSU both again. Miamia has FSU again as well.


Oh and I forget...UVA also lacks a quality win. They have the breaker over us but they really haven't earned that ranking.

similar to sid's first year, we will win 3 straight acct games including duke before losing to unc in the championship game

we will then make an nit run before falling to uab

2/21/2012 10:19:57 PM

lose 3 in a row to tourney teams, boast boast boast

I'm obviously late to this party, but even the ushers (including "ticket nazi" Steve, amazingly) were telling us to get ready to rush the floor and to as orderly as possible

also, this was before the coining of the idiotic "NC State" bullshit

Is it better to finish 5 and get a shot at an extra win, or 4 and still have to play 5 the next day anyway? I know I shat on Ernie earlier for that same question, but there are some dumb motherfuckers on the selection committee too.

2/21/2012 10:26:17 PM

extra win on top of a chance of a win against a "quality" team

[Edited on February 21, 2012 at 10:29 PM. Reason : whoops]

2/21/2012 10:29:02 PM

You shit on me for saying it would be cool to play in the 12/12 opening round game. That, of course, is a stupid loser-mentality aspiration, but it's pretty much our ceiling this year.

[Edited on February 21, 2012 at 10:32 PM. Reason : 5-seed and a win over GT would be better for our NCAA chances than 4-seed and a loss to Miami]

2/21/2012 10:31:19 PM

its better to finish 12th and then win the acc tourney, that way you'll get the most quality wins!

2/21/2012 10:41:25 PM

VaTech'd that is if we manage to win the next three.

damn that's depressing, up 20 at duke just to get Vatech'd out of the big Dance.

Wolpfacked.

I had e-mailed earlier Debbie and made mention that I was in Europe and she said that the team will be playing in Spain in August. Unfortunately I'll be gone at that point, but it should be an awesome opportunity for the team and university. Hopefully the staff has been hanging that out in front of Amile, too

2/22/2012 3:37:26 PM

So after this season, we lose our defensive stopper and add 3 guys who are known for their offensive play but likely to be average or below average on D.

LoBrow
Purvis
Wood
Leslie
Howell

Warren, Painter and Lewis the first 3 off the bench.

Holy shit that is an awesome offensive lineup. And a terrible defensive one. Should be fun to watch, at least.

2/24/2012 7:42:31 PM

We'll have TBDV 2.0 to be the big defensive monster in the middle. He's going to make Henson look like garbage.

2/24/2012 8:01:23 PM

purvis and leslie... FUN BASKETBALL
