Win 2 out of the last 3 and we'll be a 9 seed at worst no matter what happens in the ACC Tourney.

2/26/2015 4:51:44 AM

We are favored in all the remaining games. we better win out

2/26/2015 4:53:04 AM

We've won @CLemson twice in the last decade. Once was in 2 OT's, the other was a 3 pointer by scott wood right before the buzzer. Not an easy game and i would be surprised if we were favored...if so, won't be by more than 2 or 3. Oh, they also tore us a new asshole earlier this season.

@BC we should win every time. Only way we lose is if we're not focused.

Syracuse at home is a toss up. Their zone is always tough, they're playing really well right now and that will be the last game of their season. You know they'll wanna go out on a high note.

Would not surprise me to see us go 1-2 over this stretch. 2-1 would be a great finish. Win one game in the ACC Tourney and get to 20 wins and coast into the NCAA Tournament.

2/26/2015 5:00:12 AM

A 9 seed is a shitty prize. I wish they would drop us to 10 or 11 to get a better shot at advancing past the first weekend

That's a pretty dumb statement. Of course it's going to piss off UNC folks. We cans ay whatever we want about our own coaches and history. But as soon as you make it about somebody else, it becomes smack talk. And using smack talk involving a beloved coach who just died is not only weak, but embarrassing. I don't think a basketball coach should be held in the same esteem as Mother Theresa, but there are enough great things to be said without resorting to poking at the recently deceased.

" I didn't confirm it but I read somewhere that 1 more loss for Carolina, 2 more losses for Louisville and us winning out would get us the 4 seed. Probably other scenarios, but that isn't too far-fetched considering Carolina still has Duke and Louisville still has Notre Dame & UVA. State winning out is probably the biggest reach. "

2/26/2015 2:43:51 PM

An 8 or 9 seed is shitty unless we get Gonzaga as our 1 seed.

I'm hoping we ball out and move up to 7....or fuck it, win the ACC tourney and get a 5 or a 6.

2/26/2015 2:58:37 PM

God those shorts are ugly. At least they don't have sleeves on the jerseys though

2/26/2015 3:14:12 PM

At this point, I really don't care about the seeding for the NCAAT, I just want to go dancing. Maybe I'm just a skeptic, but we could still screw this up.

2/26/2015 3:15:32 PM

Well yeah. We could definitely screw it up by losing out or something. In that sense, we aren't a lock. But if we just take care of business like we should, we'll get in without sweating it out

2/26/2015 3:18:29 PM

With Cat playing the way he is (not just playing out of the norm...it's not like he's shooting lights out or anything), attacking, creating, and playing shut-down defense...I just think our margin for error got a lot bigger. I mean...we shot 35% against UNC and still won by 12. Our offense was pretty shitty against Louisville as well.

It use to be we had to have Turner and Lacey have strong games...but Lacey was 4-13 against UNC. So I just feel like we are a lot more likely to win our "should-win" games now than in the past. I'm not as scared that we'll "NC State Shit".

State Fans Nation seems to think we're a lock

Quote :

"As of this morning, State (17-11) should be squarely in the NCAAT field as a 10-seed. With last night’s win, State’s RPI is 38, SOS is 2 and they are 3-4 vs. Top 25 and 3-5 vs. Top 26-50, with wins over Duke (RPI 4), at Carolina (RPI 17) and at Louisville (RPI 18)."

2/26/2015 4:07:07 PM

we're definitely a lock. the only way i could see us not making the tourney is if we get blown out in the next 4 games.

2/26/2015 4:08:15 PM

too bad FSU couldn't complete the comeback against Miami last night

also, here are both home and away uniform sets #fashion

2/26/2015 4:13:46 PM

these were our best jerseys in recent years. don't know why we can't just take the net part off (which I liked for the Jimmy V but not for a regular uniform), put their names on the back and call it a day. that design would look sick in white and black also.

2/26/2015 4:17:33 PM

most of those adidas uni's look like shit. our red and blacks look ok but kinda hard to tell with the shorts folded

we shouldn't be wearing gray

2/26/2015 4:34:45 PM

said it before but not sure why we had to do away with the "state" unis after 2012-2013. we pleaded for it for years and there was zero negative feedback.

2/26/2015 4:37:01 PM

I don't understand that either. Especially if we're trying to go back to our roots of being a competitive team. I didn't like that the "S" in "State" was a block S, though.

and we should have the slobbering wolf in the center court, or at least the strutting wolf, not just the head.

[Edited on February 26, 2015 at 4:41 PM. Reason : /rant]

2/26/2015 4:40:23 PM

supposedly those are white, just look gray-ish in the pic

slobbering wolf is the best logo we've ever had, but i doubt we'll ever use it again in an official capacity (at least not in a major way). just glad they've been using it for some new merchandise the past few years.

2/26/2015 4:44:47 PM

Cool, we get to go through this same old tired discussion again.

I am surprised no one has brought up old tuffy yet. you people are turning this into pack pride from 10 years ago ( approximately the last time I checked that cess pool)

2/26/2015 4:51:38 PM

2/26/2015 11:36:29 PM

i'm excited about the jerseys for march...we've been left out of that "program" from adidas since they started doing it the last few years. I'll take that to mean we are finally getting some national respect.

2/27/2015 12:03:11 AM

so I may have been wrong earlier... apparently we have both white and gray versions.

not my favorite thing we've ever worn, but I don't really care what we have on as long as we win.

2/27/2015 12:52:31 AM

If we win NCAAT I don't care what we're wearing.

2/27/2015 4:19:48 AM

Everyone sees those jerseys as red and white, right? No one is gonna come in here and argue that they are blue?

2/27/2015 6:20:32 AM

As someone who hasn't followed this team very closely is there any talk of losing anyone early to the draft this year or will we actually return some talent?

2/27/2015 10:28:02 AM

Cat and Lacey could both go. I'd probably say Cat's at 25% (although this could rocket up if he continues to play well in the tournaments) and Lacey at 35%

2/27/2015 10:36:48 AM

I guess as a state fan I just accept those things as happening and then those players never doing shit in the league. Never seems like we can get momentum going year after year, probably one reason I have a hard time getting excited about college basketball. Oh well, I guess I will just hope for the best.

2/27/2015 10:38:51 AM

I don't see Lacey or Cat going this year, when their stock would arguably be higher next year. Lacey's not playing as well as he was at the beginning of the year, even though Cat has improved. Unless we make a deep NCAAT run, and both are consistently performing exceedingly well, I think we're safe for keeping them. Now, if we win the Tournament, and they're both crowned co-MVPs, and that causes them to leave, I'm okay with that trade.

2/27/2015 10:43:25 AM

Interesting, our shorts are the only ones without the belt logo or a V notch cutout on the sides of the shorts
