thank god for not another buzzer-beater

GG Pack. Nice adjustment in the 2nd half. Hit those damn freethrows and this game would have been over with 2 min to go though.

12/5/2009 5:11:57 PM

50% FT shooting to try and give the game away.

How about Josh Davis, dude is always going for the ball!

12/5/2009 5:12:28 PM

yea, nice win, I thought it was over by halftime, what a surprise

12/5/2009 5:13:53 PM

we . . . we won?

12/5/2009 5:15:53 PM

I just realized we put up 52 points in the second half.

12/5/2009 5:16:25 PM

*Slippy Toad flies into thread*

YIPPEE! YOU DID IT!

DO A BARREL ROLL!

12/5/2009 5:18:04 PM

I really think having Degand play was a key reason why we won today. When Javi was out we would have been left with mays and wood as our PGs which would have been bad news

12/5/2009 5:22:42 PM

lol at Lowe mispronouncing "Hayward" in the postgame interview

12/5/2009 5:24:02 PM

CiCi's Pizza, here we come!!!11

12/5/2009 5:24:13 PM

Nah man they're in Wisconsin they're gonna do it up real big at TIM HORTON'S

12/5/2009 5:24:49 PM

Fun game. We got some interesting looks with our Wolfpack apparel. Apparently my wife got boo'd during halftime while she was walking around, but she loves that.

12/5/2009 5:27:42 PM

Falco is still not pleased with the score.

12/5/2009 5:29:36 PM

Sheesh Falco, you too?

still incredulous about this after watching our team play all the previous games. we should watch tape of the 2nd half before we play every game going forward.



also, sometimes I hate ESPN:

Quote :

"MILWAUKEE -- Tracy Smith scored 17 of his 19 points after halftime as North Carolina State used a second-half surge to beat Marquette 77-73 on Saturday. Smith was 9 for 14 from the floor and had a team-high 11 rebounds. Javier Gonzalez scored 15 and Dennis Horner added 13 for the Wolfpack (6-1), who used hot 3-point shooting to rebound from Tuesday's surprising loss to Northwestern. Jimmy Butler scored 19 with 12 rebounds and Lazar Hayward added 15 for Marquette (6-2). The Golden Eagles couldn't rally with a late flurry of 3-pointers and were unable to continue their better-then-expected start to what is supposed to be a rebuilding year. "

also, dunno if its been said, but we shot 71% in the second half

12/5/2009 6:04:34 PM

Wooooooo!

Also, I must have been seeing things, but I could have sworn there was a Farnold on the court.

12/5/2009 6:19:29 PM

^oh yea and he played extremely well to boot

12/5/2009 6:20:41 PM

psh, there is no way Degand played any decent basketball, packboozie informed us all that Degand was the worst evar!

12/5/2009 6:25:48 PM

Great game! We just got back. Saw a handful of other Pack fans there, but that was about it. Don't some of the cheerleaders and a smaller band usually travel for away games? It would have been nice to have them there. My husband (CharlesHF) got some great pictures, we'll post them later!

[Edited on December 5, 2009 at 6:35 PM. Reason : ]

12/5/2009 6:30:12 PM

^ive never seen the band travel for away basketball games......only for tournaments

12/5/2009 6:31:07 PM

NCAA doesn't allow traveling bands outside of tournament situations.

12/5/2009 6:33:19 PM

Okay--makes sense, for some reason I thought I'd seen them at an away game before, but that was probably ACC tourney or something.

12/5/2009 6:36:05 PM

Holy crap we won?!

12/5/2009 7:10:05 PM

They had "Giant Noggins" in the student section. The best one got free pizza. So, Vince from Shamwow, Lady Gaga, Mario and Luigi, and Chuck Norris were all in attendance.

12/5/2009 8:23:10 PM

those pictures look familiar

12/5/2009 8:43:41 PM

Like I've said previously, this team is already exceeding my expectations. There's a lot to like.

...not sure how to take that, considering that I shot them earlier today.

12/5/2009 8:57:41 PM

We shot 71% in the second half,....GODDAMN! I havent seen numbers like that since the Julius Hodge days!! Good job Pack!!

12/5/2009 11:47:23 PM

I think we shot near that when we beat UNC Sid's first year.

That was not the Degand from last year....he played great. Mays has taken his place now as the lost PG.

If Mays/CJ would play up to their potential we could do something.

Marquette is twice the team that Northwestern is....half the effort from today against NW would have been a W.

12/6/2009 1:33:17 AM

i told you guys to take nw game with a grain of salt because of their weird style

12/6/2009 1:34:38 AM

SHE TOLD US, GUYS

12/6/2009 1:48:42 AM

i trust mambagrl and her infinite sports knowledge because she's so right all of the time and never trolls.

12/6/2009 1:55:34 AM

im pretty sure we shot 83% in the second half when we beat UNC in Sids first year.

Tracy Smith going up for the alley oop?

12/6/2009 9:43:22 AM

^^ that's when he snagged a weird rebound, got it knocked out of his hands (because for some reason he keeps bringing the ball down low instead of keeping it high) and then he put it back up and scored...that little bucket got him going

CharlesHF the pictures looked familiar because i had just watched the game. I was trying to make a funny [/fail]a

[Edited on December 6, 2009 at 11:26 AM. Reason : a]

12/6/2009 11:23:50 AM

way to go PACK!!!

12/6/2009 11:35:28 AM

Probly bringing his arms down so he can swing them up to gain momentum when he jumps

12/6/2009 12:01:45 PM

wish i could find a video of that alley oop. oh well.

12/7/2009 4:24:02 AM

this one? (try to ignore the shitty quality)

12/7/2009 8:11:11 AM

I do love me some pick and roll. That shit's unstoppable if you're clicking.

12/7/2009 9:18:26 AM

State received votes in the AP top 25 this week...

12/7/2009 2:50:22 PM

^savor those votes, brotha. because it may be the only ones we get this season.

12/7/2009 2:59:24 PM

49th in the AP, w00t w00t

12/7/2009 3:06:48 PM

We got 3 votes in the AP, and NW got 48 (and 6 in the ESPN). (Charlotte got 18 & 7!)
