did herb phone that play in as well???? how do you miss THAT damn bad with a wide open shot.

1/23/2008 9:09:46 PM

I don't blame him for that. It was a crappy shot sure, but one he had to take because nobody else was set up. And you know Sid didn't have a play designed for Javi to hit the game-tying 3. Somebody blew that play.

horrible end of game play. Why can't we get the ball to playmakers at the end of the game?

1/23/2008 9:10:12 PM

Was Ron Cherry out there officiating tonight?! acc refs for kings of the world!!

1/23/2008 9:10:35 PM

He could have swung it back to Fells who was wide open, but yeah, I can't blame him for taking the shot. That was a terrible miss though.

1/23/2008 9:10:39 PM

that was quick bd


BUT WORST SHOT EVER

1/23/2008 9:10:44 PM

we needed bennerman tonight.

he would have knocked it down

[Edited on January 23, 2008 at 9:11 PM. Reason : ,]

1/23/2008 9:10:56 PM

that was pathetic

that wasn't just an airball that he shot too hard with adrenaline at the end of the game or too short being nervous; that was at least 2 or 3 feet left of the rim and way too short

almost like the ball slipped or something; unfortunately for him it did not look like the ball slipped at all

he is shot for the rest of the year

1/23/2008 9:10:56 PM

yeh, they had a couple bad plays - I saw two walks there at the end. However, I am just glad we didnt get blown out. We need to play McCauley more.

1/23/2008 9:11:09 PM

a lot of times, saying stuff like 'worst shot ever' is an exaggeration


but THAT shit...at THAT point in the game...with THAT much openness....

1/23/2008 9:11:25 PM

1/23/2008 9:11:38 PM

that game.... geeeez

1/23/2008 9:11:56 PM

grant got fouled out. that was the end right there

1/23/2008 9:12:14 PM

'm not blaming him for taking the shot he was wide open, but if he can't at least get it with in a foot of the rim then thats just pathetic

1/23/2008 9:12:15 PM

mccauley should be in as much as possible. costner should be in as little as possible

1/23/2008 9:12:23 PM

glad we didn't get blown out?? a mediocre team at home...these are games you need to WIN

how does an undersized white point guard score 30 in the ACC?? Causey pushes off on EVERY PLAY

1/23/2008 9:13:19 PM

totally agree that mccauley needs to play more

1/23/2008 9:13:31 PM

seriously i think they need to go with grant at point

he does turn it over but we would be so much better if we went with

grant, fells, costner, hickson, mccauley

1/23/2008 9:13:32 PM

And yeah, Costner is complete and utter garbage this year.

1/23/2008 9:13:49 PM

see J.J. Redick

and Wojo

and Bobby Hurley

and Dante Calabria

1/23/2008 9:13:58 PM

guys

seriously

think about how bad Gonzalez feels. the kid walked right off the court at the end of the game. don't ride him too hard.

1/23/2008 9:14:50 PM

We need anthony grundy back. that kid could ball. and he was a walk-on

1/23/2008 9:14:55 PM

I will never understand how we lost this game.

1/23/2008 9:15:02 PM

I don't think this is true. He scored a lot in transition where he would get someone on his hip, or from the foul line. He doesn't have much speed, but he played the off speed pause, quick burst really well. It wasn't that he scored 30 which killed us as much as it was our poor/horrible execution from 3:20ish to the end.

1/23/2008 9:15:03 PM

jesus fucking christ.......how do we let that little bitch causey beat us

God,

Your an idiot. Gonzalez scored a couple points. True. He is what.. 0.200 fg percentage now? lol

1/23/2008 9:15:59 PM

packboozie, you weren't even born when grundy played. stfu

1/23/2008 9:16:47 PM

ha ha grundy and i came in the same year. he was in my freshman psy200 thing, whatever that crap was with the grad students that you had to do for points. i thought i was so cool for having a class with a person who played ball

1/23/2008 9:18:24 PM

gonzalez had a good game save the last play and getting beat on the defensive end a couple times.

he got dicked over at the end. someone screwed that up. i guarantee you he wasn't supposed to take that shot.

1/23/2008 9:18:31 PM

^^^Look dude you have shown time and time again that you know jack shit about basketball, please stop acting. You don't even know the difference in backcourt and frountcourt. Grundy was a walk-on? Please that is some week .

[Edited on January 23, 2008 at 9:19 PM. Reason : Grundy is so old school though man that must have been 4 years ago! ]

1/23/2008 9:18:40 PM

We had all the momentum in the world most of the 2nd half but just like every close game we've been in this year we can't build a lead and keep it. This team has a weird mix of Chuck Amato's play to the level of your competition and Herb's inability to come up with a last second shot to win the game (remember the last game against GT Herb coached where we didnt get a shot off till like 2 seconds left and Gavin threw up some shit similar to what Javi did today. Anyone remember Jordan Collins taking a last second 3 to try to win a game at the RBC?) I will give Sid credit for good coaching in the Miami finish though...

Oh and the officiating was horrible.

[Edited on January 23, 2008 at 9:21 PM. Reason : .]

1/23/2008 9:19:22 PM

I believe they were trying to run the same play that got Fells open to tie the game at the end of regulation last week, and Javi's defender bit on that which left him open. Shame he could not knock down the shot, but what are you gonna to do?

1/23/2008 9:19:47 PM

I highly doubt that was the play that was called up...but you can't be too unhappy with a wide open three-pointer by your point guard who should be confident after a decently played game...AND he hit a three earlier in the game.

But holy shit what a horrible shot. Its almost like he thought he was still moving to the left when he shot the ball. He could have taken an extra second to set himself and take that shot.

But holy shit what a horrible shot.

1/23/2008 9:20:19 PM

did you see it? he was moving to the right and had and took PLENTY OF time to set up for the shot. no excuse for that piss poor shot

1/23/2008 9:22:45 PM

I'd like to go back and watch the tape of both games. Even if it was not the called play that appeared to be what they at least ad libbed.

1/23/2008 9:23:07 PM

I bet he was nervous as fuck when he saw that he was open and decided to throw up the shot


I mean hell, that looked like an alley-oop that went wrong

1/23/2008 9:24:33 PM

Worst shot to end a game in modern history? maybe.

1/23/2008 9:25:23 PM

Yeah I saw it...and I know he stopped and took a little bit of time to set up the shot...but he could have used an extra second. Its a kid who has been playing like the worst PG in the ACC and he has a last second shot to tie in an ACC game at home in front of close to 20,000 rabid NC State fans...he could have used a little bit more time.

i'll quote myself from page 1, highlighting what might be the causes for us to lose this game.

I hate being right.

Regardless of whatever Lowe drew up for a last second shot...that was our PG with a WIDE OPEN look to tie the game. Most of the time i would say that is an ideal situation for a last second shot. I don't blame him for missing the shot, but to miss it in that fashion is just unacceptable.

this team is embarassing

easily the worst team in the conference

how do you go from picked to contend for the title to being the worst team in the league?
