National Invitation Tournament
Quarterfinals
#6 NC State (20-15, 5-11 ACC) at #1 West Virginia (24-9, 9-7 Big East)
NC State amazingly won their 20th game after a fiery and rare Reynolds game, which at the beginning of the season, nobody thought either would happen. Can't say that anyone really expected a rematch of the regular season meeting between NC State and West Virginia either. There is just a (not so) tiny difference-- Atsür. Winner gets to go to New York. Surely, as their confidence continues to build, the team gets better and better. As the road to NIT Finals continues.. Lowe will definitely continue to remind them "Don't give up. Don't ever give up."

WV is playing great ball at this time, too. So many guys on their team can shoot the three, and they are not small unathletic white guys like Marist.

It will definitely be a difficult game, but with the addition of Atsür and the general calm and team chemistry that his presence brings, I think we will be able to pull it off. So much of our team has matured into very smart, capable players and there is a fire and determination in this young squad that I have not seen in years. GO WOLFPACK!!!! 3/17/2007 11:37:15 PM |

Glad they put this game at 9PM, since they womens game (assuming they beat Robert Morris tomorrow) will be at around 7PM Im sure. Would hate to have to switch back and forth...but a double header is pretty nice 3/17/2007 11:45:20 PM |

we are better now, we have atsur back, and they are a lot worse than they were when they beat us.
We should be able to win, but being away might make this a lot tougher. 3/18/2007 8:35:55 PM |

If we don't win this game I'll still consider it a successful season overall... but damn it'd be nice to make it to NYC to get our team some more experience in big games.
I'd almost rather play a tournament team on a neutral court than WVU on the road though... its gonna be a tough atmosphere i hope we come to play. Glad our guys got a little bit of rest this week. 3/18/2007 8:39:53 PM |

How are they worse now than they were then? Looks like they've put up impressive offensive #'s in their two NIT games (avg 80+ pts) while we really havent (avg 67pts) .... I think we are still pretty heavy underdogs, but then again we have won every game we played as an underdog (except ACC chmp) in the last 6 games.....3/19/2007 3:16:12 PM |

you do realize West Virginia is a separate state correct? A guy in my 12th grade rotc class thought it was part of the state of virginia, I had to get him to ask a woman that worked at burger king on the WV turnpike before he finally conceded that WV was a separate state, please tell me you aren't that stupid3/19/2007 3:37:17 PM |
