any word on Tracy's status?

12/28/2010 5:48:57 AM

God I hope he's back. My heart can't take another nail biter against a cupcake team

12/28/2010 8:29:54 AM

I hope he waits until he is completely healthy.... I don't want him getting hurt again and missing any ACC play because of it. We will beat this team without him. Now if he is healthy, get him out there and get some game time work in, but christ- I hope people aren't rushing him back like all of you would have

12/28/2010 8:45:43 AM

^ agreed

^^^^ Definately a toss up between this game and the New Year's Day game. I actually had tickets offered to me by my employer to go to this game. I was excited about it, saw the game at 4, asked if I could leave early to go, they were like hell no. We are short staffed this week and you need to stay until at least 5. Why give me a ticket to something you aren't going to let me go to? /stupid

Knee isn't injured in such a way that it will get reinjured. It is supposedly structurally fine it is just going to hurt.

State wins 70-66

12/28/2010 9:45:06 AM

I said hold tracy out of the arizona game and everyone jumped all over me, 2 weeks later people are like let's wait til he's healthy haha.

This is a game we obviously don't need him, I'd rather him take another week off and get his reps in practice rather than a game if he's not healthy.

We can beat wake and we'll probably lose our next three acc games whether he plays or not, so I'm all for waiting until he's healthy even if he needs another month

12/28/2010 9:50:40 AM

well I've always said wait until he is healthy... NCState fans, though- once we start losing, alot of them start saying take every extreme measure possible to get a single win. "Let's fire the coaches, play our injured players, and shove hot dogs up our asses, because the alternatives aren't working!"

12/28/2010 10:03:24 AM

i predict we win by 15-18 and there is much complaining.

12/28/2010 10:25:49 AM

These guys are seriously the dregs of d1, if we don't beat them by 20 then we have a potential problem on our hands.

A win is a win as far as making the tournament is concerned though, so that's whas important

That being said ill be disappointed if we don't put it together and win by 20+ today, we've got big games right around the corner and we're in a situation where we can't afford to drop any of our "easy" acc games.

12/28/2010 11:04:54 AM

Anybody know any more promo codes for cheap tickets on gopack.com? I tried FAIR but it says it is no longer working. I don't want to pay $15 to see this game and was hoping to avoid scalping.

12/28/2010 11:10:10 AM

I might have an extra free ticket. Maybe 2. I will post here again if/when they become available.

Should be an exciting game. What is their mascot? A muscular dog?

12/28/2010 11:42:35 AM

bah i wish this was on something i could watch

12/28/2010 11:46:26 AM

I really hope this is the game where Javi returns to form. And by return to form I mean I hope he puts on some AND1 dribbling exhibitions that go straight into the corner or nowhere.

State gets a big win, 73-63, but the game is closer than the score indicates.

12/28/2010 12:42:30 PM

Why did we schedule a game for New Year's Day at noon?

Was this Sid's attempt at a Winter Classic or bowl game for scrub basketball?

12/28/2010 1:30:34 PM

I just turned down 3 lower level tickets here at work . It is too close to the bowl game. I will be at the New Year game though.

12/28/2010 1:34:48 PM

does someone have the gopack.com all access information that they can repost? I know someone posted a while back in another game thread.

thx

12/28/2010 2:06:31 PM

i hear there's a giveaway for jordan vandenberg trading cards. confirm/deny?

12/28/2010 2:11:28 PM

^I thought that was last game, and they'll have another player's card this game?

12/28/2010 2:28:05 PM

Is there still a valid gopack.com all access account floating around?

12/28/2010 3:49:55 PM

also requesting gopack.com info

CJ can't hit the broad side of a barn, but he is killing it on the rebounds.

12/28/2010 4:10:13 PM

Leslie, howell, and smith make us a pretty damn good rebounding team this year...

12/28/2010 4:13:14 PM

who was the last State guy who could just air it out like Leslie? guys like Fells were athletic but it was a rarity to see him really use it

12/28/2010 4:13:28 PM

at least we came out with some energy

12/28/2010 4:19:49 PM

^^Even CJ Williams can jump (better than I thought he could)...but he is just not explosive. CJL is probably the most explosive State player I've ever seen.

[Edited on December 28, 2010 at 4:20 PM. Reason : more ^]

12/28/2010 4:20:19 PM

Brown just did a patented D-Horn Pump Fake

12/28/2010 4:21:29 PM

CJW? not even close.


Bennerman, Fells, JJ Hickson in NBA. None of them can go up a second time as quick and high, though.

12/28/2010 4:22:26 PM

Bennerman had crazy ups.

12/28/2010 4:24:13 PM

I couldn't find Bennerman's putback dunk versus Duke but I also remember this one:

12/28/2010 4:26:04 PM

Our defensive footwork and positioning are not very good. Everyone is always off balance going toward the defender -- makes it very easy to go right by us. Gotta move your feet so you don't need to go off balance to stay in front of your guy.


haha, we are just throwing up junk and jumping over these guys.

12/28/2010 4:28:18 PM

scott wood is money coming off of that down screen

12/28/2010 4:31:21 PM

Yeah this is more or less street ball with better athletes. It's funny to watch but we are going to get murdered by the ACC.

12/28/2010 4:32:01 PM

I think that on a good night we can hang with just about anyone in the ACC offensively but our defense remains atrocious.

12/28/2010 4:32:16 PM

gotta work on our break a little bit

12/28/2010 4:34:05 PM

I wasn't saying CJW is the most explosive player in recent memory, I was just thinking of other people on the team that can jump. By no means is explosive...just athletic. I had forgotten about Bennerman. He could sky, but rarely got the opportunity.

And this has to be posted...

12/28/2010 4:34:06 PM

We should hire a consultant (or a better coach) to teach us how to defend screens. We have never ever done that right under Lowe. Every screen creates a gaping hole in our defense because we don't hedge or help correctly.

12/28/2010 4:35:59 PM

scott wood is BMOC


"Monte Toe" -- why not just use the radio feed?

[Edited on December 28, 2010 at 4:38 PM. Reason : .]

12/28/2010 4:37:01 PM

Leslie can't even make a layup, why is he shooting 3s? I mean come the fuck on lol

This is the radio feed

Hahn and Haynes are doing the football game

12/28/2010 4:41:49 PM

Nice, this performance should quell the haters for a few days, we needed a confidence boosting win today.

I wish we had more updates on tracy, is redshirting off the table yet? Wed be sick if tracy and cjl stayed next year

12/28/2010 4:42:20 PM

GD, can javi not use a screen at all? wtf, he has regressed.

12/28/2010 4:46:21 PM

how are yall watching this?
