Go Pack! Keep it up. Don't sleep on anyone.

2/25/2015 9:24:51 PM

I really liked how Gott made that point very clear after the win. BC has had its moments this season. Take care of business here and at Clemson and hopefully we'll be ranked going into the Syracuse game.

2/25/2015 9:35:11 PM

Cardiac pack take a snow day, we Gott this

2/25/2015 9:40:05 PM

Shoot da ball. Win da game.

2/25/2015 9:51:38 PM

I dont want to be ranked. I just want to go at worst 2-1 and win 2 games in the acct

Rankings stir up the mojo that is the curse of NC State shit

btw, I'm an atheist. people who believe in god are so silly!

2/25/2015 11:37:17 PM

I think all you people are full of shit. There's probably some small part of you that believes your negative diatribe on this board matters to these kids, and you think spitting constant, insistent negative bullshit is some sort of weird motivator to them. You should go on Twitter and see how many followers you have after berating the team you wish to succeed, let alone the entire fucking Internet, with your negative bullshit on a daily basis. For all the people that talk about how far removed your last championship is from your current state of affairs, you need to look in the fucking mirror.

2/25/2015 11:39:47 PM

They played west virginia better than we did. Where is that dancing L?

2/26/2015 12:23:13 AM

^^ lol

I like that one. Don't know how I hadn't seen it in the other threads.

We know how this one goes....

2/26/2015 3:29:54 AM

BC is on 9 game losing streak. We Gott this.

Also I like how they beat a vastly overrated Providence team by 9 pts.

they beat GT by 2...in regulation.

Hang the L, its over.

Is a should win game, which makes me a bit nervous, because any team in the ACC can go off and pull a win out of their ass. That said -- I think we Gott this one too.

2/26/2015 12:20:16 PM

we will definitely lose this game

2/26/2015 12:21:57 PM

1-14 in the ACC. Damn.

2/26/2015 12:40:54 PM

after watching VT almost upset Duke in Blacksburg yesterday, I definitely agree that this game feels like potential hangover material from the @UNC win.

If you listen to Gott's lockeroom postgame, he basically tells the guys that they need to get past UNC and focus on BC. Hopefully we can get some of the guys who didnt play much @UNC some minutes @BC, as you know they gotta be hongry and ready to eat (KW, DL, CodyM, etc).

2/26/2015 12:46:11 PM

This is without saying the most important game of the next three. This is one that we simply can not afford to lose.

2/26/2015 12:50:25 PM

That pic Hodge is holding looks like Murr from Impractical Jokers....lol

2/26/2015 5:19:47 PM

The point was made in another thread about how the team is winning by playing better defense and that it's not like we're winning because one guy goes off for 40 pts. We're playing solid defensively and offensively as a TEAM. I think we'll pull away late and win by 8 or so.

2/26/2015 5:24:20 PM

There is no reason we shouldn't win this game. Therefore, it scares the fuck out of me.

2/26/2015 5:45:21 PM

W


There's a certain steeliness/resolve that this team has. Like the great West German soccer teams of the 70s

2/26/2015 5:48:58 PM

^Makes me want to watch "Survive and Advance" again

2/26/2015 5:54:45 PM

absolute must win game. plz2mfw1nz!

2/27/2015 4:39:43 PM

haven't really paid any attention to BC so thought this BTP piece was a good read: http://www.backingthepack.com/nc-state-basketball/2015/2/27/8119537/talkin-boston-college-hoops-with-bc-interruption

Quote :

"Hanlan's scoring at an even higher clip than he was by the time State rolled onto the schedule at the end of last season. His last six games or so, he's simply taken over. BC asks him to do a bit of everything -- he runs the offense as well as serves as BC's main scoring threat. Over the last six games, he's dropped 30+ points on four different occasions -- 30 vs. Carolina, 32 vs. Miami and Florida State and 39 vs. Pitt. The game before that stretch, he scored 28 vs. Notre Dame. BC runs this high ball screen offense meant to isolate the guards and create opportunities to drive to the hoop. Towards the end of some of these games, it's all Olivier Hanlan. He manages to find a way to the hoop despite getting double- and triple-teamed. He's in the middle of a pretty unprecedented scoring run; at least for BC anyway."

sounds a lot like someone we once knew

Quote :

"Hanlan is probably the only legit ACC talent left on the roster; one rocked by injury (Lonnie Jackson, Idy Diallo, Darryl Hicks) and transfers (Ryan Anderson, Joe Rahon). A pair of grad transfer guards that Christian brought in -- Aaron Brown and Dimitri Batten -- have been serviceable, but we're asking mid-major stars to morph into ACC starters overnight. No small task. The rest is just pretty meh. Heckmann is wildly inconsistent. Magarity has shown flashes but has sat out of several games now with concussion-like symptoms. Owens is raw and athletic but limited on offense. The bench is so thin that Christian is forced to give non-garbage time minutes to a pair of recruited walk-ons, etc. etc. So, yeah."

2/27/2015 4:52:33 PM

Maybe it's the typical "State has a big win" euphoria, but I think we Gott this.

2/27/2015 7:59:11 PM

The poise we showed in chapel hill when they went on that run in the second half was a thing of beauty. I say we butt fuck BC tomorrow.

2/27/2015 8:29:01 PM

Hopefully Cat, Lacey, and the twins can all help contain Hanlan as that is the only way I see BC beating us. Hanlan going nuts and us not executing on offense allowing BC to get a lead and build confidence. Cat and Lacey need to attack, attack, attack and let our big men get open/rebound in the post. No reason for us to not dominate the paint and boards.

Cue up 10 pts state loss...

2/27/2015 8:34:03 PM

^^

^eh, I don't see it. Pomeroy predictor only had State by 5, but we all know numbers is bullshit.

2/27/2015 8:34:19 PM

I really want to get out of the 8/9 seed and start looking into getting a 7. We have to win this game first, obviously.

[Edited on February 28, 2015 at 8:46 AM. Reason : a]

2/28/2015 8:46:23 AM

Are you talking about seeding for the ACC tournament? Because I'd just assume be the 8 seed and play UVA. No desire to play Duke/ND.

2/28/2015 9:35:31 AM

God I hope we don't lose this game.. Syracuse: 50/50 (based on ND game). GT: unlikely, but possible. This one, FUCK NO.


BTW, on a good day I believe this team can beat anyone in the ACC. I'm not scared to play UVA after our last game against them.

Yep, I was looking at UNC's schedule. Same description goes for Clemson though.

If Miami is playing to their potential today, they will beat UNC.



[Edited on February 28, 2015 at 10:48 AM. Reason : _]

2/28/2015 10:47:01 AM

I can't pull for UNC, but the silver lining to them winning today would be that if we win out, we'd need Miami to have lost one more and the other games they have left are @Pitt and @VT

2/28/2015 10:56:28 AM

The bigger question is will the cheats be ranked after losing to us and miami in the same week??

I say they sneak in at #25, but it would be great if we were to sneak into the last spot and bump them out

2/28/2015 11:07:30 AM

Per NC State history, we normally play better unranked (last ~20 years).



[Edited on February 28, 2015 at 11:12 AM. Reason : _]

2/28/2015 11:11:51 AM

also nothing we do against BC today is going to get us ranked on Monday

Just got to my parents in birmingham and the have FSN South

Dont have to stream today

2/28/2015 11:47:25 AM

Not much difference in a Stream and Cable/Sat/OTA if you are sending it to a HDTV.

Hell last game I switched from OTA to a Stream because of the shitty broadcast quality coming in (not the signal). Somebody else in a different part of the state was having the same problem.

LOL, they are blacking out this game. Virginia is also blacked out for this game, looks like I need to use Chicago.
