1/9/2008 8:54:39 PM

I've got a completely original key to the game here: not going 4/21 from the 3

1/9/2008 8:54:54 PM

i don't want to predict, but I am excited for this game!

1/9/2008 8:57:12 PM

i'm also surprised that this game is listed for HD.. all the fucking saturday games on ESPN are usually not HD minus the primetime one

im not sure i really want to watch this game

1/9/2008 8:59:22 PM

I actually won't be able to watch this game

when I first found that out, I was disappointed

but maybe it's for the best

1/9/2008 9:00:47 PM

UNC - 91
NCSU - 79

We only get to 79 because UNC pushes it up the floor so fast.

1/9/2008 9:02:05 PM

i honestly don't know if we can keep from getting blown out by more than 20. with us potentially being without both fells and horner, i just don't see us keeping it anywhere close.

1/9/2008 9:05:54 PM

I am thinking that everyone is going to get free biscuits









NCSU = 32

1/9/2008 9:11:48 PM

not to nitpick, but ESPN.com has him at about 5.5ish assists per game

1/9/2008 9:14:36 PM

I predict heavy drinking before this game.

1/9/2008 9:15:24 PM

I predict heavy drinking after this game

1/9/2008 9:19:59 PM

Us 68
Them 95

Unless we use Fergie as an enforcer to take out Ellington, then

Us 70
Them 90

1/9/2008 9:20:04 PM

I wish we had Dan Werner


he'd really come in handy on Saturday


(or Chris Wright for that matter)

rly? oh well.. i was using yahoo because ESPN was fucking being gay

1/9/2008 9:22:39 PM

no sweat.

he's roll his ankle going for a loose ball off the tip

I predict a 0-0-0 line in the box score for Lawson

1/9/2008 9:25:16 PM

I predict heavy drinking before this game.

I predict heavy drinking during this game.

I predict heavy drinking after this game.

1/9/2008 9:25:51 PM

Should we go ahead and define the spread that counts as a moral victory?

1/9/2008 9:30:38 PM

ty lawson pulled a hammy. might be out for the season

1/9/2008 9:31:18 PM

Yes. Lose by less than 20.

1/9/2008 9:31:52 PM

^yea thats about right


I"ll take between 10-15 but

1/9/2008 9:34:13 PM

beat the spread

that's the only way we'll get a "win"

[Edited on January 9, 2008 at 9:36 PM. Reason : ,]

1/9/2008 9:35:05 PM

Moral Victory-None


lose by less than 35 if Fells doesnt play and they should get to keep their scholarship.

1/9/2008 9:36:39 PM

i dont think unc is gonna score as many points on us as you guys are thinking....i doubt we score a shit load either. might be a "herb-ball" game

1/9/2008 9:38:25 PM

farnold degand
courtney fells
dennis horner
trevor ferguson

1/9/2008 9:42:57 PM

chance of winning

1/9/2008 9:43:36 PM

Fells being hurt might be the nail in coffin. I still had faith that we could hang with Carolina before, but without Fells who the hell is going to have a chance to stop Ellington?

1/9/2008 9:45:47 PM

lol stopping ellington is not a problem at all. He's just an open shooter and its not like fells has done a good job staying with shooters this year. The main problem with losing fells is losing a ball handler that can break you down off the dribble and finish against uncs pressure defense. Horner and fells are also 2 shooters we are without. Furgey is playing awful and now he won't even be 100%. We know the shooting/scoring abilities of johnson and Javi so all hope is lost.

Even if we play perfect defense where are the 70+ points going to come from? have we put up 70 at all this year? Has Roy ever scored under ~70?

1/9/2008 9:52:02 PM

we've only gone +75 twice this year.

There is always a first time for everything

[Edited on January 9, 2008 at 9:57 PM. Reason : if stopping their 2nd best scorer isn't a problem, then we should have this in the bag]

1/9/2008 9:56:43 PM

I expected two UNC blowouts last year and only got one.

So I mean anything is possible.


But man we can play some terrible basketball.

1/9/2008 9:57:03 PM

wtf fells got hurt??

1/9/2008 9:59:14 PM

low ankle sprain

1/9/2008 10:02:07 PM

i don't know if i could be looking forward to this game less.

1/9/2008 10:04:08 PM

Wow, this will be painful to watch.

We should just play MJ, Grant, Costner, Hickson and McCauley 95% of the game. Play a box and 1 with the 1 being Grant/MJ shadowing Ellington. And on offense, just lull them to sleep and not take a shot until there's less than 5 seconds on the clock. Do all that and we'll still lose by 20 but it won't be by 50+ which is very likely with all the injuries and lack of offense we have.

1/9/2008 10:04:36 PM

NCSU 85
UNC 81


Costner/Hickson combine for 50pts against Hansblow/Thompson

1/9/2008 10:06:59 PM

US - 62
THEM - 94

"MJ"

Lets not go calling anyone on our team MJ, especially not in a thread about this particular game....

1/9/2008 10:09:24 PM

rebounding, roughing up hansbrough, and not leaving ellington are the keys.

1/9/2008 10:10:44 PM

1/9/2008 10:11:19 PM

I doubt we score 50

They could double us up.

1/9/2008 10:12:26 PM

L if we don't win by 20

dont forget breaking the press, eliminating idiotic turnovers, making free throws, oh and, making shots
