NC State vs Carolina, Round 2

[AppGuy04]

Tonight at 9pm in Chapel Hill

I was thrilled when my Wolfpack pulled out the first meeting, but I have a bad feeling about this one

Your thoughts? Predictions?

[Appstate29]

Hate both of'em (sorry Appguy), I hope they both lose.

[CharlestonAppFan]

I hate the Tarholes with a passion, but it's getting down to whether or not they will be a #1 seed in the tourney and winning an ACC regular season championship. Roy will make sure they win this game, unfortunately. Hansborough has a big night with at least 25 points. The pukey T-holes win by at least 10 points.

[Peems]

TAR......HEELS!!!!

I can't watch, every time i've watched UNC this season they've lost(one exception was Duke) I watched Gonzaga, Va Tech(2x) and even NC State. If I look and they are winning i quickly change the channel. But I might just have to break my rule tonight...

you really do love your wolfpack, dont you?

[AppGuy04]

you really do love your wolfpack, dont you?

born and raised my friend, uncle went there, I went there and I was a ballboy when I was a kid at famous Reynolds. I remember watching Jimmy V and met him twice

[Peems]

just for you i'll watch.

[AppGuy04]

just for you i'll watch.

Sweet, we win!

[FUwolfpacker]

AppGuy, we may be bitter enemies most of the year, but at least we can find common ground with NC State:).

With that said...this one will probably be a blow out. At Carolina, UNC still playing for a #1 seed, payback.....things just don't add up for the Pack. Who knows though...stranger things have happened.

Same could have been said about va. tech

[AppGuy04]

Same could have been said about va. tech

exactly

Last game, the line was 15, this time its 23, doesn't make sense to me

If they shoot like they did against VT, they will beat anybody

[mistersykes]

Go Pack. But I too have a bad feeling. State's lack of depth has been the key to its inconsistency. But I'll be rooting on the pack!

[AppGuy04]

Here we go!

[AppGuy04]

2-0 Carolina

Charge on Ginyard

[Eyes of Old Main]

Final score doesn't matter to me. I really hope State wins, but Sidney Lowe is playing with house money after the first win. I think notice has already been served that State is going to be much improved in a few years.

That being said, I'll conclude with:

GO TO HELL CAROLINA!

41-40 Halftime, Heels up

[FUwolfpacker]

Nice to be close. We'll see if State has the legs to stay in it. Fouls look like they're going to play a big part in the second half. The way it's going now, Darrell Davis might get some PT...

Yes, but Carolina was having trouble with the zone, that benefits us double fold

[AppGuy04]

VT beats BC by 17

Miami beats UVA

[AppGuy04]

2nd half ready to go

[AppGuy04]

Sidney Lowe not on the court, reportedly sick

[Eyes of Old Main]

Staying close benefits State greatly. UNC-CH knows they can lose to State and the longer the Pack stays in this, the better chance they have. The Pack has nothing to lose and the Heels have a #1 seed to lose which adds a lot of pressure.

We'll see who makes better halftime adjustments...

[AppGuy04]

Ellington misses 3

Even 8 points down, this is better than we'd have been with "the coach whose name will not be spoken".

[AppGuy04]

I was on the fence about Sendek, its my opinion that the players play no matter who the coach is

3:57

74-61

[Eyes of Old Main]

My problem with Herb was inflexibility, inconsistency and lack of understanding that being an ACC head coach goes beyond X's and O's.

No meaningful in-game changes, refusal to change his system, inability to understand that beating Georgia Tech does not equal beating UNC-CH, up and down recruiting and embarrassingly weak OOC scheduling.

Don't get me wrong, Herb is a good coach and definitely left the program better than he found it. He ran a clean program and recruited well for the most part.

He will be successful at Arizona State, but he knew when to get out. This years' team will eek out a NIT bid with one more conference win. If Herb had been on the sideline, sliding back into the NIT would have been his ticket out of town.

I just think he left when he knew he'd maxed out what he could accomplish. No shame in that, best of luck to him.

too many bodies and foul trouble

[Eyes of Old Main]

Final, Heels win 83-64

I hate losing, but it sounded like the short bench was the problem. No way 7-8 guys can stay fresh against 12 on the road. Recruiting has gone very well, so more horsepower is on the way. No shame in this loss.

Any further updates on Sid?

Sid was stretchered out, supposedly dehydration and flu-like symptoms

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

UNC and Virginia Tech, when the Hokies play motivated, are the two most talented teams in the ACC. I watched some of the VT-BC game tonight and when VT plays to their ability they are a legitimate Final 4 team.

[proasu89]

Final score doesn't matter to me. I really hope State wins, but Sidney Lowe is playing with house money after the first win. I think notice has already been served that State is going to be much improved in a few years.

GO TO HELL CAROLINA!
:D At least you acknowledge where the REAL Carolina is:hurray:

[Peems]

AppGuy my bad, i totally forgot to watch the game!

[goasu984Life]

Heels win, take a one-game lead in the ACC, and now, things are back to normal. My wife and in-laws can stop bragging until another six or seven games and NC State actually lucks up and beats Carolina again.

away from home, they are a push IMO. NC State's starting lineup can compete with anybody in the ACC, but if foul trouble or fatigue hits, they are in trouble
