Aren't they supposed to be playing short handed tomorrow? Who all do they have out for the game?

3/8/2012 9:51:23 PM

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

3/8/2012 9:51:43 PM

Brogdon will be out tomorrow. He had 7 against us last time.

[Edited on March 8, 2012 at 9:52 PM. Reason : Sene too, but he was out the first time.]

I know Sene is out and Brogdon is doubtful, they'll be lacking in depth for sure. Joe Harris is still dealing with that hand fracture I believe, hasn't hit many shots since that. Basically Scott is the big threat, and Zeglinski who shot lights out from 3 on us earlier.

In their final regular season game against Maryland - they got ZERO points off the bench. Scott saved them by putting up 35.

3/8/2012 10:03:06 PM

Virginia lives off points inside the arc. I doubt they get those against us.

They don't shoot threes 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.

3/8/2012 10:04:46 PM

what is the line. i cant find a sportsbook with a line out yet

found it. 2.5pt dogs. awesome. im betting

[Edited on March 8, 2012 at 10:06 PM. Reason : .]

3/8/2012 10:05:39 PM

UVA will probably be favored. if state wins the game they'll beat the spread regardless.

3/8/2012 10:06:41 PM

^^^ +2.5

[Edited on March 8, 2012 at 10:07 PM. Reason : oh, you got it already]

3/8/2012 10:07:21 PM

oh shit this could be big

even if we dont win the ACC Tournament or anything, a win over UVA (regardless of who's missing) is a chance at revenge that we dont normally get with the shitty conference realignment schedule

3/8/2012 10:07:49 PM

This shit makes me so nervous. I am way too excited. As an NC State fan, its a scary thing to be excited about the team.

3/8/2012 10:10:21 PM

It will be a great game.

I hope the sluggish moments we had today was just us conserving energy for the game that matters.

3/8/2012 10:11:35 PM

3/8/2012 10:12:51 PM

I, too, am tempted to bet on that spread.

if Wood performs like he did against BC, we should win this.

3/8/2012 10:13:01 PM

virginia's espn page fucked up or something? it has them well into the 200s for all the major stats

3/8/2012 10:13:52 PM

Yeah I think Coach made a good point that our records are almost exactly the same. They only have one quality win over Michigan. Unfortunately they beat us. Who knew how important that one point as.

3/8/2012 10:17:54 PM

plz2win

GO STATE

3/8/2012 10:24:43 PM

I see this as a win as well...I just don't see Virginia hanging with us this time. However, I am probably wrong . Sucks that I have to work the next three days...I'd really enjoy bein able to sit at home and watch this game

3/8/2012 10:25:28 PM

What is gonna happen is this Mike Scott will either score or get fouled every time he catches the ball. And With Howell on the bench for half the game it will be very very close.

watching that game and the way it ended - i thought it had that kindof feeling to it already
(terrible last second play execution following TO to win the game)

If this was a joke, then derp for me, but UVA plays an excruciatingly slow tempo and of course all of the stats aren't tempo free, and thus, meaningless.

3/8/2012 11:04:52 PM

Dear god just win and don't give up and dont let that white dude score off of three

go pack

3/8/2012 11:10:11 PM

please to win this mother fucking game

3/8/2012 11:40:40 PM

So after we win the whole tourney, do you guys think we will be a 7 or 8 seed?

3/8/2012 11:41:12 PM

If we win the whole thing i think we're an 8 or 9 seed. a 7 or 10 seed would be preferable though to avoid the game vs the 1 in the 2nd round.

that's also assuming that en route to the tourney championship we're beating UNC and Duke. if they get upset and then we beat the teams that upset them, we're not getting anything higher than 10 or 11 seed.

3/8/2012 11:53:24 PM

Let's just beat VA first

3/8/2012 11:55:50 PM

Gonna stay sober so I remember this game.
Blacked out during the last.

3/8/2012 11:56:42 PM

we're fucked

3/9/2012 12:05:47 AM

UVA has no players left. We have to win.



If UVA had better fortunes, they would be dominant this year.

3/9/2012 12:11:05 AM

I'll be tuning in from Jackson Hole, WY.

Virginia has 3 players who may be good enough to beat us, depending on how Zieglinski is shooting.
