Face is pretty much right about our team this year and was pretty much right about our team last year. Yeah he makes crazy statements like his Jevoni posts, but the dude knows basketball. Our team's ceiling this year is pretty much the NIT unless we pull off some upsets and get better defensively. We foul WAY too much and we clearly are not adapting to the new rules well at all.

12/30/2013 12:07:24 PM

face makes 100 statements and then brings up the 5 he was right about.

I don't have any thoughts. I've taken the season off watching NC State sports really.

I might tune in for like the UNC or Duke game. Maybe the ACC-t, I don't know.

After last year's debacle I just felt like I needed to sit this one out.

12/30/2013 6:33:42 PM

3 more losses for your 1-5 prediction

1/11/2014 8:01:30 PM

A home loss to MD and your 1-5 prediction comes true.

1/15/2014 11:50:54 PM

So, your predictions about our W-L in ACC overall?

1/18/2014 4:30:26 PM

The win streak a few weeks back got our hopes up, but i hate to say it, looks like we are more in line with what face predicted.

1/18/2014 4:32:03 PM

Uffff....

1/20/2014 10:59:17 PM

Dude, still waiting for your overall ACC W-L prediction bro

1/25/2014 8:12:50 PM

How come more basketball teams don't intentionally lose the opening tip off, like deferring in football when you win the coin toss, to start the 2nd half with the ball?

1/26/2014 1:08:24 PM

3-4 and not 1-5, Ufff....

1/26/2014 3:29:15 PM

4-4 in the ACC baby. Not trying to make you look bad, just saying this was the best case scenario, while 1-5 was the worst.

So what's your prediction for the overall ACC record?

1/29/2014 11:06:29 PM

what are you talking about? I said 1-4 its right there on the last page.

Quote :

"Still, I'd expect us to be out of the NCAA tourney hunt altogether after our loss to Duke on January 18th. That will drop us to 1-4 in the ACC and from there it's all about righting the ship for an NIT push."

i forget what my ACC record prediction was. Was it 7-11 maybe? I don't know someone would have to find it.

We're about to resume the losing streak. We'll lose 4 of the next 5. This team isn't any good.

1/30/2014 12:15:36 AM

OK, so you essentially made 2 predictions.

I'm asking you for an updated ACC prediction. A chance to redeem yourself if you will

Otherwise the 7-11 stands.

Heres the rest of the schedule:

@ UNC - LOSS
@ Miami - WIN
Wake Forest - WIN
@ Syracuse - LOSS
@ Clemson - LOSS
@ Virginia Tech - WIN
UNC - LOSS
Miami - WIN
@ Pittsburgh - LOSS
Boston College - WIN

I'm seeing 9-9 with a differential of 2 either in the W column or the loss column.

I mean, you could have found 3 worse than that. Kyle is definitely better than most freshman with his pedigree. One could argue point two is fairly accurate. 3rd quote is harsh, but who would argue he doesn't need a ton of conditioning?

1/30/2014 10:33:08 AM

haha, i wanted to find better ones, but that's just from scanning the first couple pages of the basketball thread. i'm sure they are some better ones if someone wants to do some digging.

i wish the "prognostication" thread was more active.

1/30/2014 11:23:25 AM

Looking at our schedule 8-10 is the most likely scenario right now.

I thought you were asking what I predicted before the season. I don't recall but I think probably 7-11. We are actually worse than I thought we'd be but no one could have expected the acc to be so bad.

you predicted 0-5, at least twice:

1-1 so far with a W- FSU and an L -UNC

Care to comment on the $2,500 I posted for taking seattle to win the super bowl preseason? And seattle v Denver in the super bowl?

2/8/2014 7:07:45 PM

I'm just messing with you my man. So details on the bet? What did you hedge?

[Edited on February 8, 2014 at 7:12 PM. Reason : ]

2/8/2014 7:09:15 PM

no hedge necessary. denver had two games they couldnt lose and seattle was so underrated all year that their line against denver was one of the silliest you'll ever see.

2/8/2014 7:14:51 PM

Will we ever be relevant again Martin?

2/27/2014 12:01:41 AM

7-11? More like 9-9!

3/9/2014 8:43:46 PM

Season ends tomo. But you gotta admit the program's future looks bright amirite?

3/14/2014 11:04:27 PM

someone find the back and forth where face said we were never on the bubble. 2nd year in a row. lay off the kenpom.com and try on the liverpi google martin

3/14/2014 11:07:19 PM

We aren't on the bubble now -- still NIT bound.

3/15/2014 1:46:08 AM

our rpi is 52, right above SMU and Iowa

we're on the bubble

[Edited on March 15, 2014 at 2:01 AM. Reason : \/brennan sucks at this so much. day old RPIs. where is glockner?]

3/15/2014 1:50:33 AM

We absolutely have to beat Duke, but we are nearing the bubble. Hard to get too excited considering how much they dominated us in the first meeting.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bubblewatch

North Carolina State [21-12 (9-9), RPI: 59, SOS: 41] Are the Wolfpack back in the tournament field? Friday's neutral-court win over Syracuse highlighted what NC State has done well this season, which mostly boils down to "having T.J. Warren on the team." Warren finished with 28 points and eight rebounds (not far off his season averages) in 61 possessions Friday, and the Orange's late-season slide continued. So can the Fighting Warrens get in? It's still not super-likely. As resumes go, it's not a great one. But does the Syracuse win puts NC State in the compare-contrast conversation with, oh, Cal? Maybe? Perhaps its biggest implication is a shot at Duke on Saturday -- which nearly fell to Clemson in a one-point win late on Friday night.

3/15/2014 1:52:15 AM

At this point if we beat Duke we're in.

What other team would have 2 back-to-back wins against top 15 opponents at this point in the season? The selection committee loves teams that are hot come tournament time, and we have enough of the other pieces of the puzzle on our resume to make it in.

that's kinda funny

3/15/2014 7:39:09 AM

I just hope we don't get slotted as a seed between 7-10

3/15/2014 12:38:53 PM

Nope, we should be a 4 seed in the NIT

3/15/2014 12:46:39 PM

Fact: Being on the 'bubble' guarantees you get a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

3/16/2014 6:52:25 PM

@kenpomeroy: N.C. State was on one of 78 projections at Bracket Matrix. You can’t predict people.

3/16/2014 7:01:19 PM

Numbers are only useful if you know how to use them. So many of these numbers donks dont understand how the brackets are put together. The crying over SMU is the biggest proof of that. That profile gets left out every year.
