Someone explain why we pressed? I mean, a soft press to force them from not rolling the ball in, but a full press to allow a fast break? That's just dumb.

Good job coaching and getting the team to fight through the foul trouble, but that decision was really poor.

Also, replay shows an obvious travel and not much of a foul... Damn refs.

1/15/2014 11:20:29 PM

theyre not going to call a travel at the rim at the end of a game, jesus christ

you have to cut him off before he's 4 feet from the basket. which is kind of hard when you have 3 people in the front court

1/15/2014 11:20:42 PM

TJ's 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th fouls were legit. the 3rd one was touchy

Why not? They called EVERYTHING ELSE

52 fouls in 40 min

What's the game where (I think) a Miami player takes like 5+ steps to the hoop for the basket last season against us????

does this make us the worst big 4 school in the revenue sports for the 2013/2014 season?

1/15/2014 11:22:54 PM

Just rewound it and used slow mo, the wake guy took four steps before the shot. I can see not calling it with three steps but four should be called.

1/15/2014 11:23:29 PM

given all the ticky tack garbage that goes on... i'm so sick of this:

what is our record this year when we take out ref losses? are we 14-2?

[Edited on January 15, 2014 at 11:25 PM. Reason : clearly if we complain about it we will stop losing them!]

1/15/2014 11:24:41 PM

Pnc crowds are gonna be thin this year. Feel bad for the players. Hope it resonates with the coaches at least. I'm not spending a dime to watch this coaching shit show.

1/15/2014 11:24:43 PM

fuck

1/15/2014 11:26:16 PM

The coaches cant shoot free throws or wide open jumpers...

1/15/2014 11:26:17 PM

For those of us without dvr, gif of the travel? Not that it will make me feel better, actually probably worse

1/15/2014 11:26:39 PM

why is tower acting mad? he loves this shit

1/15/2014 11:26:50 PM

I also count 3 steps, hence my post at the top of the page

3 steps is traveling

[Edited on January 15, 2014 at 11:34 PM. Reason : top of last page...damn game threads move fast after close losses]

1/15/2014 11:34:02 PM

i'm giving him 4

1/15/2014 11:34:50 PM

live to me it looked like 1 step more than what they usually call in college. and in the last minute you usually get that extra step and the D gets extra contact. calling a foul on us was bullshit for sure

but really if you get pissed about that youre going to be pissed after every game. in the nba they get away with that shit all the time. for whatever reason you get more leeway on drives than shuffling your feet on post ups, too (see: vandy travel on his dunk)

Didn't think we'd win at wake.
Didn't think we'd win after their hot start.
Didn't think we'd win with the forwards getting benched.
Didn't think we'd win when TJ fouled out.
Didn't think we'd win with missed free throws.
Still had to watch a one point loss.

1/15/2014 11:44:18 PM

Yeah, rubber necking syndrome

It must be pretty nice for opposing coaches to see us coming up on their schedule. NC State? Just play zone most of the game. We look like we've never seen the damn thing before.

1/15/2014 11:50:06 PM

at least we've won a conference game

oh yeah

and our players can read

1/16/2014 12:01:55 AM

I get that we don't have the shooters to just shoot over a zone, but we're worse than terrible against a zone - we flat out cannot score, like at all. Inexcusable for this to have been a glaring problem for this long.

1/16/2014 12:02:00 AM

Too bad John Wooden isnt alive

1/16/2014 12:02:56 AM

Wait til we play Syracuse Clemson

1/16/2014 12:18:03 AM

Maybe we should have lost this by 31 too lolololol

1/16/2014 12:23:20 AM

Why do you guys even bother watching this train wreck program anymore? It's done man. Dead and buried. Gottfred had a window taking over a stacked roster with some recruiting momentum but he missed on too many guys we needed.

Program is in the shutter officially. Need a new leader to get it turned around but we are stuck another 5 years.

I slept from 530 to 11 now doing laundry and dishes. About to head to gym. Move on with your lives nc state sports is in for a REALLY brutal next five years. Focus on your lives and come back if it ever gets turned around.

[Edited on January 16, 2014 at 12:33 AM. Reason : Haha I'm leaving it shutter]

we should start paying players so we cna get the death penalty.

1/16/2014 12:51:14 AM

face was just sleeping off the money he spent on a plane ticket to the Super Bowl before the Panthers got raped last weekend

1/16/2014 1:03:02 AM

$149 ticket, free condo near times sq. During super bowl weekend. Yeah I'm pretty bummed.

The $500 I won on the 49ers and the $ I'll win this weekend will cover my whole trip

1/16/2014 2:52:32 AM

nobody likes bragging about hedging bets

hey guys, i figured i might lose a bet, so i made another, so i won, i'm a winner!

1/16/2014 3:01:58 AM

No. It's more like there was obvious great value on the Panthers at 75:1 to win the Super Bowl. So you bet it. And when that value is realized, you hedge it.

It's like when you see an underpriced stock. You buy it. When the value is realized, you sell it. You aren't required to lose money just for the sake of losing money.

There was no value left on the Panthers so I sold them.


I still have Seattle at 7:1 for $200 to win $1,400.

and

Denver vs Seattle Super Bowl at 5.5 to 1 for $200 to win $1,100.

Not sure how heavy I'll hedge, probably somewhere around midway since the lines are pretty generous for both favorites.

1/16/2014 3:12:12 AM

The man in the alley is slowly applying lighter fluid the the dumpster that is NC State's basketball season. All that has to be done is to light the match before we are a full fledged dumpster fire.

1/16/2014 6:04:43 AM

Went to bed at halftime because I knew what was going to happen. Super glad I did. That extra hour and a half of sleep before my Friday was well worth it.

1/16/2014 7:19:00 AM

Their student section chanted "state school" at us a few times during the game. Is that supposed to be insulting?

1/16/2014 7:27:49 AM

Stupid turnovers and Turner not being able to hit just one fucking three in the second half did us in. Barber didn't know what the fuck he was doing at the end...kept looking over to the bench for guidance. That was frustrating.

1/16/2014 7:34:12 AM

Baptist college looks down its nose at a lowly land grant college.

1/16/2014 7:42:27 AM

1/16/2014 7:54:54 AM

Those Baptist university students should humble themselves before us land grant university common folk. God is not pleased.

1/16/2014 8:12:42 AM

I quit watching and went to bed with about 8 minutes left. The officiating made it fucking unwatchable. Even when we were winning it was not enjoyable to watch. Absolutely no flow to that game.

I saw the last basket by Wake. Looked like a walk. But he went coast to coast untouched. Poor D.
