^, ^^ I don't think you understand the Catfish reference.

1/26/2013 2:15:31 PM

can someone explain to me what catfish is and how it relates to unc?

1/26/2013 2:24:44 PM

Someone who pretends to be someone they're not.

UNC pretends to be an institution that educates their athletes.

Instead, they create classes that "DON'T EXIST" to give the "Illusion" of compliance.

Which part of that do you not understand?

1/26/2013 2:27:11 PM

To be fair, Catfish is a relatively obscure movie of suspect quality.

1/26/2013 2:51:32 PM

The point is, that one of you pack backers had the best status EVER!!!

"Manti Te'O's girlfriend is in my African American studies class"

If that makes it onto a sign on ESPN for all of america to see, I'll be the happiest person EVER!!!

Please make this happen. It is your duty as a state fan.

1/26/2013 2:56:05 PM

^there was a sign similar to that there this morning; PNC nazis took it.

1/26/2013 2:57:48 PM

^^^It's a pretty popular MTV show now

1/26/2013 3:03:24 PM

We're 5 point favorites and about 68% chance to win according to vegas... if we screw this up ill lose it

UNC is balanced offensively/defensively but not very good at either.

They are a good offensive rebounding team, but they get to the line less than almost every team in the country. At the line they struggle terribly also.

UNC doesn't really shoot threes, which makes their lack of FT's surprising. They're a young and deep team that doesn't have the size they've relied on the past few seasons.


The guys to really worry about are their #1 stunna Reggie BULL - OCK (which is hilarious that his family can't pronounce his own name), and their #2 dub P.J. Whorfston

1/26/2013 3:09:33 PM

They've made timely 3s and shot a good % in they last 3 wins. Making 7 to 8 threes while scoring <80


States gonna have to hit the boards hard. And Scott Wood needs to show up for once against UNC*. If he's not make shots he better be getting rebounds.

1/26/2013 3:35:20 PM

Keys to the game:

1) Stop Carolina on the offensive boards. Their whole team pratically hits the offensive glass and our biggest weakness is defensive rebounding when we don't just allow the other team to score easily.

2) Foul trouble. UNC has the depth advantage, so if this game is called tight we are in trouble.

3) Inside scoring. Howell/Leslie have struggled in the past vs UNC because of their size advantage. This year they should be able to produce baskets instead of getting our shit tossed the whole time.

4) Contain Jackson Simmons. I swear to God if we lose to UNC today and it's because Jackson Simmons went off on on us I will die. It's so annoying to watch UNC land a 3 star recruit who was offered to walk-on earn a scholarship and start just going off on teams. Why the hell do things like this happen for UNC?

1/26/2013 3:48:07 PM

face, James Michael McAdoo is their #2 stunna

1/26/2013 4:00:52 PM

I think the key to the game is for State to play like they are capable of and not like a bunch of dipshits.

1/26/2013 4:02:53 PM

the key to the game is prolly the name of the refs

1/26/2013 4:04:43 PM

haha yeah right, mcadoo is terrible this year. He's their liability

Whorf is good and Bullock is awesome

1/26/2013 4:17:55 PM

Time for UNC* to have their "why did we punt to Gio" moment this game to end the streak!!!

LET'S DO THIS

GO PACK

1/26/2013 4:22:58 PM

face you normally hate point guards who shoot less than 40% from the field and love big guys who average double digit rebounds in extrapolated minutes, why the opposite for this matchup?

1/26/2013 4:26:59 PM

I thnk the key to the game is number of UNC* turnover cause by the PNC wet spot.

1/26/2013 4:31:34 PM

because McAdoo is fucking terrible? He can't make anything and even when he draws fouls he can't make FT's. He turns the ball over a ton and he isn't a particularly good rebounder. The only thing McAdoo does well is get steals and dunk in transition. Other than that he sucks. Whorf is actually a really good player.

Whorf's TS% is 53.3%

McAdoo is 48.1%

Where is the confusion here? Who would you rather have shooting?

[Edited on January 26, 2013 at 4:33 PM. Reason : a]

1/26/2013 4:32:29 PM

its not about shooting, rebounding is much more important than scoring

1/26/2013 4:49:31 PM

It's about luck!

^pretty cool. I'd like to hear the Digger Phelps speech in its entirety. What I heard actually removed some of my disdain for him.

Nice post.

1/26/2013 5:24:17 PM

No doubt. Efficient scoring and rebounding are both very important.

Position adjusted Whorf is the better rebounder than McAdoo too.

Where is the confusion here?

McAdoo is a below average PF, Whorf is a very good SG.

No comparison. McAdoo along with PG is the weak link of this UNC team...

1/26/2013 5:27:54 PM

I got the Pack 81-77 tonight. C'mon sweet jesus.

1/26/2013 5:30:56 PM

a buddy got in the student line at 2:20 today...got a seat in the 300s behind the baseline

[Edited on January 26, 2013 at 5:39 PM. Reason : get loud students]

1/26/2013 5:39:32 PM

I am much more worried about Reggie-Michael Bullock and PJ-Michael Hairston than I am James-Michael McAdoo, especially since the Klingons are a war-like people that are incapable of showing fear

McAdoo is gonna have his breakout game of the season against us

1/26/2013 5:52:38 PM

You people worry too damned much.

1/26/2013 5:58:38 PM

Didn't we give up acc record passing numbers twice this year too? Career days all year, every year
