gotta love Javi for not giving up though.

3/7/2009 2:03:26 PM

12 minute scoring drought is unacceptable. That's why we lose the game. Refs just accentuate it.

3/7/2009 2:03:38 PM

i like javi.

3/7/2009 2:03:51 PM

Yeah for us to get a 12 minute drought and the game be this close, it means Miami sucks real bad too.

This is just like first round of ACCT last year.

3/7/2009 2:03:53 PM

so are we trying to win this or not? our play would indicate that we are, but kendall smith would indicate otherwise.

3/7/2009 2:04:33 PM

Kendall Smith, really?? and now Simon Harris? lol

3/7/2009 2:04:39 PM

At least State +8.5 looks a little better now.

3/7/2009 2:04:50 PM

LOL at the fan who has been screaming "3 SECONDS" during every single possesion

i just heard, "EVEN I CAN COUNT TO 3 REF"

3/7/2009 2:04:56 PM

so is lowe giving up with this line-up???

3/7/2009 2:05:10 PM

Please, keep fouling McClinton! We need to drive their score up higher!

3/7/2009 2:05:16 PM

lane violation?? when was the last time that shits been called in the ACC?

3/7/2009 2:05:21 PM

more like the dedicated fouling lineup

gettin closer and closer to pomeroy's call

[Edited on March 7, 2009 at 2:06 PM. Reason : ]

3/7/2009 2:05:39 PM

I guess with all these fouls they are about the only players that we have left

3/7/2009 2:05:44 PM

Confusing

3/7/2009 2:05:44 PM

nvm

look at the bright side

3/7/2009 2:06:48 PM

way to go goofpack.

3/7/2009 2:06:54 PM

the seasons over?(well, almost)

3/7/2009 2:07:01 PM

Lol Miami on the map. They still suck.

3/7/2009 2:07:15 PM

we beat the spread!!!

3/7/2009 2:07:55 PM

haha covered

3/7/2009 2:07:56 PM

fuck these refs.

Pomeroy FTW

3/7/2009 2:09:09 PM

so who do we play on thursday?

3/7/2009 2:11:34 PM

You know, when we were 5-7, with Wake, BC, MD, and Miami left, playing our best bball of the season, I would never have thought we would just win one of those games. Really sad honestly. I don't know whether to pull for us in the tourny or just hope it ends quickly.

3/7/2009 2:11:43 PM

you pull for us in the tourney

3/7/2009 2:13:34 PM

I inevitably will. It takes me at least 2 days to get over an NC State loss and get back my (false) hope again.

3/7/2009 2:15:26 PM

we need every win we can get.


I really thought we were fighting an uphill battle today and we had some veterans melt under the pressure. As good as McCauley was the other night, if he shoots one more fucking jump shot the rest of his career I'm going to hunt him down and slit his wrists. What did he miss....5 today? 3 within a 2 or 3 minute stretch?

Costner coming through with some timely turnovers early in the second half. It was really sad.

3/7/2009 2:18:51 PM

as much as this sucked, at least we're the 10 seed for next weekend

are you fucking serious? the one game i cant watch at home because i dont have cable...

3/7/2009 2:29:25 PM

Sidney must be really ripping into them, he still hasn't given the post game press conference.

3/7/2009 2:32:04 PM

^^ still, the 10 seed is better sorry if you can't see it, but that might be a good thing

3/7/2009 2:35:12 PM

yes, muzition, i'm fucking serious. I don't really have any desire to play UNC again, and I would like to see us win more than one game in the ACCT.

obviously would have preferred to win today, but I'm going to enjoy this small consolation.

having said all that, watch UNC lose tomorrow

3/7/2009 2:37:50 PM

is UNC #1 seed regardless?

tracy smith had one called against him in the first half.

3/7/2009 2:48:04 PM

i was shooting this game from the baseline near state's bench.

I got kinda taken out by Jimmy Graham as he was diving for an unsaveable ball

3/7/2009 2:51:12 PM

^^^ No, if Duke wins, they'll be tied for 1st, and then the ACCT seeding comes down to who is 3rd, which i think is determined by Wake/Clemson tomorrow.

3/7/2009 2:58:47 PM

shit, missed this game... didnt know it was this early. Fuck, they lost to Miami? sigh

3/7/2009 3:39:16 PM

Man, the second half of that game was hard to watch.

3/7/2009 3:45:48 PM

again horner misses an important free throw late

again we get called for an intentional foul for blocking a layup

"Section 4. Intentional Personal Fouling Guidelines for calling the intentional personal foul are: a. Any personal foul that is not a legitimate attempt to directly play the ball or a player is an intentional personal foul. b. Running into the back of a player who has the ball, wrapping the arm(s) around a player and grabbing a player around the torso or legs are intentional personal fouls. c. Grabbing a player’s arm or body while initially attempting to gain control by playing the ball directly is an intentional personal foul. d. Grabbing, holding or pushing a player away from the ball is an intentional personal foul. e. Undue roughness used to stop the game clock is an intentional personal foul and, if severe, should be called a flagrant personal foul. f. It is an intentional personal foul when, while playing the ball, a player causes excessive contact with an opponent. The intentional personal foul must be called within the spirit and intent of the intentional-foul rule."

3/7/2009 4:38:44 PM

has javi turned into our go to player?? 13 shots, almost twice as many as everyone else. I guess going 6-13 for him is better than mccauley goin fucking 0-7.

3/7/2009 4:39:31 PM

i hope duke wins so we can still play UNC in the second round. who is the 7 seed gonna be? looks like maryland right? isnt that what you people wanted

not saying he did, but I imagine this is how the refs could justify it

3/7/2009 4:48:21 PM

I've seen more contact not even be called a foul for the love of god. He got all ball with his hand. It WAS a foul with the body, but I've seen that call twice in my life...i've been watching basketball since I was 6 years old, and they both happened to State this season. ridiculous.

3/7/2009 5:09:18 PM

it's like the refs were trying to break our will to hustle with that call and the smith foul call when he dove for the ball.

3/7/2009 5:22:13 PM

i really feel like ACC refs let emotions get in the way of the game WAYYYY too often. And when i say emotions, i mean coaches, crowd reactions, player reactions, etc.

3/7/2009 5:56:47 PM

i think everyone needs to go look at the box score for the game today, it gave me a few laughs

first look at the attendance

and then look at the names of our players, apparently we picked up a few new kids and brought bartoz back
