Cat and Lacey's 3 pointers last night were amazing. They were exactly the type that would make me want to claw my eyes out if I were the opposing team.

that's really sad

3/12/2015 1:52:08 PM

^^ agreed, but each got hot at different times. interesting is that Cat missed all of his in the 2nd half. And lacey only ended up 2/5... they obviously had planned to shut down turner, which seemed to work.

3/12/2015 1:54:21 PM

^Cat only took 1 in the 2nd half.

Really? Even the years we made it to the ACC championship game? I guess I just loved that Drexel game so much that I made myself believe it wasn't the NIT.

They did, but Turner still missed a few open ones. He also had a couple go in and out. Just an off-night for him, but he was really good on the boards, and he didn't seem to make any dumb decisions out there.

3/12/2015 2:17:14 PM

^^ Sid's best conference record was 6-10 and we were always good for 4-5 nonconference losses as well.

3/12/2015 2:33:48 PM

and the one year he got to the ACC title game (where we got jobbed by the refs against the baby blue buttholes), he barely got to 20 wins even with the help of the NIT (and his magical red jacket)

3/12/2015 2:38:00 PM

ok hold up, Sid was a disaster but that team was state's thinnest rotation in recent memory

3/12/2015 2:48:24 PM

and had a hobbling Engin Atsur at PG. Bryan Nieman was getting run. I mean, come on.

3/12/2015 2:50:52 PM

thank you, about had a hemorrhage trying to remember Nieman's name

3/12/2015 3:10:15 PM

I'd rather Turner go 0-5 and let Cat/Trevor sink the threes than have him go 4/17 or whatever nonsense he did a few games ago

3/12/2015 3:18:34 PM

Nah, we need Turner to hit 3s, especially when K goes to that funky zone he's been using lately. That is, unless Cat goes for 30+ again.

3/12/2015 3:19:59 PM

We need all three. As long as Turner sinks the first 3, he'll play a fine game. That won't take away from Cat and Lacey going off. What concerned me about Lacey last night was the foul trouble with so much time left in the game. I don't know how well that will fly against Duke.

3/12/2015 3:21:38 PM

I don't care who hits what as long as we get the W, I'm sick of not winning anything for almost 30 years. I was 2 years old the last time and I sure as hell don't remember that

3/12/2015 3:22:38 PM

I don't care who has whatever number of points. As long as:

NCSU Score > Duke Score

It's a win in my book.

3/12/2015 3:23:39 PM

We don't need all three. Just like there were games when Wood's threes didn't fall and others stepped up, there will be games where Turner's don't fall and it's fine as long as the other two guards step up.

3/12/2015 5:18:21 PM

against Duke, on a neutral floor, at the ACC Tournament.......we're gonna need all 3. If one of them has as bad of a night as turner had last night....check back in Sunday for the Selection Show.

both of these are true, but it's also true that Sid's teams never performed any better than they did that season, so there's that.

3/12/2015 5:33:11 PM

totally agree. How we made it to the finals and even kept up with that UNC team(much less beat them earlier in the year) is a mystery to me.

3/12/2015 5:34:42 PM

Atsur was a hell of a point guard and all 5 of our starters averaged >10 ppg, we just didn't have anyone on the bench save Nieman, Trevor Ferguson, and a pre-flameball Horner

whoa, I 100% forgot that Darrell Davis got a few minutes that year while redshirting in football. other key contributors included Braxton Albritton and Bartosz Lewandowski

3/12/2015 5:47:34 PM

^exactly. didn't he set a ACCT scoring record?

awww he was one of my best friends growing up, sad to see him the butt of jokes.

3/12/2015 6:23:15 PM

He's not the butt of any jokes, it's just sad when he's a key part of your rotation on an ACC team.

[Edited on March 12, 2015 at 6:28 PM. Reason : was that the year Justin Clark started on senior night and was instantly our best post player?]

[Edited on March 12, 2015 at 6:28 PM. Reason : jesus christ sid was awful]

3/12/2015 6:26:30 PM

very true

3/12/2015 6:28:18 PM

yup, that was the year. Scored 6 points and 4 assists at home against Wake on Senior Night. Sid went back to him against Maryland the next game and he didn't do anything. He did score a bucket in the upset win against Duke in the ACC Tournament that year though.

3/12/2015 6:43:26 PM

WELP

3/12/2015 9:02:33 PM

so..do mara and watson not have the mojo? maybe it's the women that caused the loss. yall mugs know how succubus trickens hex your shit and whatnot. kate and scarlett and olivia never menstruated this bad a loss.

3/12/2015 9:15:20 PM

agreed. but do we want to test the mojo of two new sirens for the first time in Round 1 of the NCAA tourney?

3/12/2015 10:53:14 PM

So will we look like a threat to win the whole tournament in round one only to not show up in round two and lose by 25?

3/13/2015 1:10:58 AM

anyone who thought we even had a chance with 35 mins left to play today hasn't been an NC State fan for very long.

3/13/2015 1:16:24 AM

We want a 10 seed against 2 seed Gonzaga

No way. Remember that WLWLWLWL streak earlier, we just started a new streak that goes WWWLWWWL. We're going to the elite 8.

3/13/2015 11:36:31 AM

We're definitely an 8/9 seed IMO, either in Louisville w/ Kentucky or Pittsburgh w/ Villanova. Unless we're somehow rewarded for our top 10 SOS and bumped up to a 7.

3/13/2015 12:21:05 PM

ESPN Bracketology dropped us from 8 to 9 playing Ohio State, but still in Pittsburgh with #1 Villanova.

3/13/2015 12:28:00 PM

Revenge for Philip Rivers' OT

3/13/2015 12:32:39 PM

We should go all in on Candice Swanapoel for the tourney

3/13/2015 12:48:12 PM

what are the chances we end up in Charlotte

3/13/2015 2:35:07 PM

I'd say not good because Duke and Virginia will very likely be placed there and we can't be matched with them until the Sweet 16.

3/13/2015 2:36:18 PM

^^^too fat

3/13/2015 2:56:20 PM

How about WRAL's Elizabeth Gardner?

3/13/2015 3:07:06 PM

She's the hero we deserve.
