Hope Brown plays

2/3/2013 11:46:15 PM

hope lewis plays

2/3/2013 11:47:31 PM

Lorenzo Brown comes back for this game, causes 14 turnovers, scores 4 points.

Duke 84, NC State 67.

Go Pack.

2/3/2013 11:49:04 PM

we win by 3

2/3/2013 11:49:45 PM

Why even put that 19 rank there...

2/3/2013 11:54:53 PM

Everybody knows we're gonna lose by a point or two.

8 points. 5 losses.

2/3/2013 11:55:34 PM

^^ wait for the ninja edit tomorrow

2/3/2013 11:56:45 PM

We will get down by 15-20 early but cut it to 5 late and lose.

[Edited on February 3, 2013 at 11:58 PM. Reason : theres only like 4 types of ncstate games. we should all know what to expect by now]

2/3/2013 11:57:48 PM

I don't know. I've got a good feeling about this game if Zo can come back. There's certain teams we just seem to match up well with, and Duke is one of them.

Zo > Cook
Purvis < Curry
Wood = Sualimon (both are streaky; just depends who's on)
CJL > Jefferson
Howell = Plumlee

I know that's a really simple way to look at the game, but it's something. We've also got Warren and a confident Lewis on the bench. Duke has ... the other Plumlee?? I really don't even know.

Of course, all this changes if Zo can't go. Lewis played great the other night, but that was at home. Cameron seems like an easy place to lose your composure.

2/4/2013 12:20:21 AM

we already beat these faggots this season

effort won't come into play, we WILL get up for this game

should be another nailbiter

2/4/2013 12:21:51 AM

Who's ready to get boonswackled?

2/4/2013 12:23:39 AM

Duke lives off points outside the arc. I doubt they get those against us.

They don't rebound at all. That's our main weakness defensively.

Defensively they are horrid.

They are hopelessly short and have zero depth.

I like NC State vs the spread. This has all the makings of a 30+ point game that might only be a -15 point spread.

2/4/2013 12:32:31 AM

duke by a last second tip in

2/4/2013 12:46:25 AM

2-3 zone the whole game

I, too, would like to give suliamon a new career high.


me thinks he's not going 0-10 this game

2/4/2013 2:26:40 AM

Wolfpack, pls

2/4/2013 2:55:07 AM

I've enjoyed berating my coworkers since we last beat Duke.

I cannot and will not allow State to lose this game.

2/4/2013 3:11:29 AM

NC State Shit. Different day, same shit.

2/4/2013 6:42:23 AM

buzzer beater bucket loss

2/4/2013 6:47:19 AM

probably a blowout. if we keep it close, its a moral victory. Just hope we dont lose to clemson to fall below .500

2/4/2013 7:27:06 AM

expect plenty of this

for one of these

2/4/2013 7:31:51 AM

ROLL PACK

I should probably be at this game. I can't wear State stuff though, so I'll just wear some neutral color.

But after State losing to Miami, the Niners losing the SB, and the Canes fucking it up every other game, I'm not sure I can handle another loss right now.

2/4/2013 8:52:14 AM

An L for our bubble team

2/4/2013 9:23:21 AM

2/4/2013 9:43:21 AM

big 'ol L

2/4/2013 9:57:51 AM

When was the last time we swept Duke?

2/4/2013 10:18:03 AM

let's win this thing.

2/4/2013 11:15:08 AM

^^i know we haven't beat a K coached Duke team @Duke since like 89 or something stupid like that. We may have swept them the year K was out

[Edited on February 4, 2013 at 11:34 AM. Reason : .]

2/4/2013 11:33:14 AM

We are not winning this game. We are beyond awful on the road so Duke by 10-15. Season of inches...

[Edited on February 4, 2013 at 12:15 PM. Reason : V yeah I've been pretty optimistic on this team, but it's clear we don't have it.]

2/4/2013 12:05:59 PM

I hate fucking fans like this ^

2/4/2013 12:09:13 PM

A rejuvenated Zocrotes postulates pulling out the win in a close contest on the road.

2/4/2013 12:22:21 PM

WTB TT10 vs. face video for this one, haha.

Not to beleaguer the past, but I wonder how many fans were saying shit like this back in '83 around this time of the season.

2/4/2013 3:07:03 PM

I was just talking about fans who emphatically say "we're going to lose". Or talk about how awful we are.

I mean, i'm not too optimistic about this game, but we've got a chance. We've got the best team we've had in decades.

2/4/2013 3:10:31 PM

We have a team this year that has the talent and is capable of winning any game on our schedule, but I think that is why people are so disappointed compared to years past as well. Losing when you expect to lose isnt nearly as bad as knowing you should win and blowing games.

That's ridiculous for 2 ranked teams. I was able to see us play like shit against Virginia but this one won't be on national television? Who the hell at ESPN made that choice?

2/4/2013 3:22:15 PM

One good thing is that we are hitting our FTs, especially over the last 3 games. Hopefully we keep that up.

2/4/2013 3:22:39 PM

Lets go State. I support my team through thin and thin!

2/4/2013 3:23:07 PM

Unless Duke shoots like they did against FSU, this is a winnable game. After all the wtf losses we've been through, we are due a wtf win.

Newsflash, NC State isn't ranked.

2/4/2013 3:31:30 PM

That really is a newsflash, since it's only been a couple hours

[Edited on February 4, 2013 at 3:40 PM. Reason : ]

2/4/2013 3:35:46 PM

^,^^ just saw the rankings, came back to retract my previous statement.

But regardless, I can't remember the last time any game we played against Duke or UNC wasn't nationally televised.

2/4/2013 4:03:27 PM

If you honestly believe we have a good shot to win this game you'd be crazy not to bet on us. We will be like 12.5 point underdogs and at least 4:1 odds or so.

Step back into reality, this would be a MAJOR upset if we pull it off.

2/4/2013 5:37:48 PM

Just confirmed I'll be there again. Front row of the grad student section.

Front row seats to a beatdown. I plan on drinking heavily beforehand.

2/4/2013 6:31:53 PM

oh yeah, get off at 7pm that night for the weekend ............ I hope we kill them, if not I have to hear shit Monday... and fuck that

2/4/2013 6:36:46 PM

this win will catapult us back into the top-25
