Smh Keatts already running off players. When will this attrition stop?

BRAXTON IS ELIGIBLE

(I'm assuming that this means Braxton Albritton was granted another year of eligibility)

The common sense thing would have been to let him play before being threatened with legal action. Now theyre being reactionary bitches and have lost any ability to reprimand and colleges know it. Get in trouble? Lawyer up and you wont have any issues.

Now that we are a basketball school again, what are our chances against Zona? At least we will play defense I think even if we don't have much of a chance.

They're going to hang the original '74 and '83 national champ banners in Reynold's, again. They'd been in a box at Reynold's since the ESA (PNC) opened in '99, and in then in Amedeo's since '07.

Just build a new arena on Centennial campus. Make it a 15,000 seat hybrid of RBC and Reynolds that our team can practice and play in.

Do it Wendell Murphy. Do it now.

We could stack two more new Reynoldses on top of the current one. That’s 15k right there.
In all seriousness we do have one of the worst home court advantages in the conference, with the exception of 2-3 games a year.

Should we be looking at these 2 followup games as proof the Arizona game was a fluke, or is it forgiven by how well they played on full rest and now they're gassed?

Somewhere in between. Zona may be overrated. We played really well. We were hitting shots, we haven’t in the two games since - and that’ll be the case a lot this year. We’re not a great shooting team. Northern Iowa played strong defense and didn’t let us penetrate or get the ball inside much.

Honestly all I can take from it is, when everything is clicking we can play some great ball. But also there’s gonna be a lotta nights where things aren’t clicking because we don’t have great shooters, don’t have a particularly deep bench, and we’re frankly not that good. IN other words, this is still a rebuild like we all expected...beating zona was awesome but that didn’t mean all of our problems were solved.

Well said, we look like we will play tough and hopefully keep games close but our lack of shooting skill may make it hard to watch our offense some games.

Can anyone with Sling (+antenna) let me know if I need that $10/month sports package to watch NCSU BB games?

the basic sling package (Orange), the one that includes ESPN, allows you to access WatchESPN so you can watch all those games either on the ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPN3. don't think it gives you access to Fox Sports Go....i may be wrong, but i think you'd have to get that "Sling Blue" package that has Fox Sports channels to get that Fox Sports Go and that wouldn't include WatchESPN. i don't think the Sports Extra package would have any bearing on the State basketball game...looks like it just includes Red Zone and NFL Network and pro-sports channels.

Thanks. Looks like Sports package has ESPNU too, but seems like I should be able to watch those on the ESNP app.

Back to the arena question: the real answer is to just wait til the Hurricanes move and then lower the roof. Or raise the floor. Or just put one huge HD screen on one end of the floor that covers the whole end zone.

I thought if you had just Orange, the ESPNU games won't be available on the ESPN app if you logged in through Sling.

At least, that's how it was 2 years ago (have upgraded to Orange + sports package for $30 per month and had no problems using sling since).

^but i think the sling orange gives you access to everything on watchespn so you should still be able to get the ESPNU games on a device with your sling log in info...my parents have it and i set it up for them so that's where i'm getting this from. but i could totally be wrong about that since i don't have sling myself

[Edited on November 27, 2017 at 12:54 PM. Reason : idk, it could be a limited watchespn idk...seems like it wouldn't be though]

^^ So we're swimming in big men now?

Abu stays injured and Yurt rips an MCL and we're all good in the frontcourt? Hicks doesn't matter?

Hicks was going to be a big body when we played against bigger teams and at worst was five fouls to save on more key contributors. It won't affect us in all games but when we go up against say Duke its gonna be a problem.

Meh, I hate it (especially for him) that he was lost, but it only becomes a real problem for the team if Abu's injury situation doesn't improve quickly.

somebody said it in another thread (maybe tower idk) that abu has a little too much gottfried in him. and that's pretty accurate. but we also haven't seen him at full strength in Keatts' system so hopefully we'll see that soon.

Without Abu's rebounding we don't beat Arizona. He's badly needed come January.
