does winning this game get us n. the i.t.

3/8/2016 10:01:23 PM

^^ that's a photoshop. She's got better grip than that.

3/8/2016 10:26:47 PM

Anyone else feel a train wreck coming tomorrow?

3/8/2016 10:46:23 PM

we'll start fast. we are used to the arena atmosphere and have our legs under us already. That's the optimistic benefit of not having a bye in the tourney. but of course once dook gets acclimated and we get some fatigue (mainly mental fatigue) dook will get their 18-0 scoring run and that will be that.

3/8/2016 10:47:49 PM

No, I think it'll be more like a dumpster fire.

3/8/2016 10:48:01 PM

Duke needs this to get confirmed out of the 8-9 game

State needs this to hope for another game next week


who is going to want it more, Im pulling for State to win, but hopefully the winner will win on Saturday (prob not)

3/8/2016 11:08:18 PM

we will lose unless two things happen

1. we play zone (or a sagging man)
2. they miss a ton of 3s

lol padding the sats by beating inferior teams in "important" games. typical gottfried.

3/8/2016 11:21:20 PM

^^ evidently we're # fucking 1 at silver linings

"which is nice"

3/9/2016 8:44:06 AM

they got to guard us to, pal.

3/9/2016 8:50:59 AM

Duke -8.5

3/9/2016 9:42:42 AM

if we win, we have to watch another game tomorrow and possibly another game next week.

if we lose, our season is over.

plz2lose

3/9/2016 10:46:00 AM

realistically, i feel like a victory here would sneak us into the NIT. the sad thing is that i even have to use the phrase "sneak into the NIT"

3/9/2016 10:58:59 AM

This will play out like a lot of our games this year. It'll be close for a the first 10-12 minutes, Duke will slowly open the lead through halftime and into the 2nd half, State will put together a small run late, we lose by a respectable score. Moral victories count.

3/9/2016 12:03:10 PM

3/9/2016 12:06:29 PM

my ideal result: Anya does the ACC a favor and beats the shit out of Grayson Allen (with Allen instigating of course). Both are permabanned from the ACC.

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 12:25 PM. Reason : Autocirrect doesn't recognize permabanned, go figure.]

3/9/2016 12:24:29 PM

^Allen trips Anya causing Anya to fall on him and he goes



[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 12:53 PM. Reason : .]

3/9/2016 12:53:27 PM

^even better



Honestly, I think I'll be happy if we out rebound them and it looks like the guys are really trying on defense. That's all I ask.

3/9/2016 12:59:47 PM

Duke isn't looking at an 8/9 seed for fucks sake. If you root for a rival school shouldn't you at least have a fucking clue?

3/9/2016 1:18:32 PM

It's the old, "If I think they're going to get shit on, I can be happy when it's better than my shitty unrealistic expectation."

Duke will be no worse than a 5 seed barring losing to us today by double-digits.

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 1:20 PM. Reason : .]

3/9/2016 1:20:05 PM

I hope we can keep shooting well. This might end with both teams over 100

3/9/2016 2:51:03 PM

let the BS begin

3/9/2016 2:56:53 PM

Oh look, the typical bullshit late call by ref across the court that leads to the Duke 3.

Why don't they show replays of calls like that? I'd like to believe it was legitimate but it came after the rebound and the first pass. Wtf

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 2:59 PM. Reason : ]

3/9/2016 2:57:42 PM

counting on some high flyin' catty daddy and some late-game 3's from top gun. that said...we victor by 1.

3/9/2016 2:59:40 PM

Second game in a row he's been called for grabbing an opponent during a loose ball situation.

3/9/2016 3:01:02 PM

Thornton dives at Martin's feet and it's just good hustle

3/9/2016 3:03:36 PM

Player dives at feet and nearly trips him...no call. Phantom grabs and touch fouls though, we definitely have to call those.

3/9/2016 3:03:45 PM

pulled hammy?

3/9/2016 3:05:24 PM

Plumlee looks like a guy that laughs at his own belches.

3/9/2016 3:09:06 PM

over under on the free throws they shoot between now and half time?

3/9/2016 3:13:40 PM

Duke in the bonus. We're nowhere close. Turning point. It was a good effort guys.

^they'll go to the line at least 5 more times this half.

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 3:15 PM. Reason : ]

3/9/2016 3:14:04 PM

Damn, I know Cat's good but we don't need him trying to take step back fade away threes with a defender in his face. Following that up with a fould 90 feet from the basket to send them to the line.

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 3:21 PM. Reason : ]

3/9/2016 3:20:23 PM

If they called this game fairly State would win. We know how this is going to end.

Duke has 13 3 attempts to our 7 and yet has shot 9 free throws to our 9. Barber with 0 of course. Amazing how Duke and UNC don't foul the ACC leading scorer.

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 3:27 PM. Reason : 53 points in a half and barely winning, but people complain about our offense]

3/9/2016 3:22:21 PM

Kirk comes in and gets straight abused two possessions in a row. We're shooting HOT though. Better hope that continues if we want to have a chance.

3/9/2016 3:24:21 PM

Are you serious? He wasn't even close to taking a shot

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 3:29 PM. Reason : How are we so bad at end of half possessions]

3/9/2016 3:27:53 PM

don't understand how we've been so bad all year....i mean, i guess the Lakers did trounce Golden State last weekend so flukes happen

3/9/2016 3:28:26 PM

Coach K doesn't coach defense

3/9/2016 3:29:15 PM

If you had to wager on which team makes a defensive adjustment...

3/9/2016 3:30:16 PM

No way both teams can keep this up. I am going to assume that Duke will and we won't. Ridiculous offensive (and lack of defense) display in the first half.

3/9/2016 3:38:27 PM

we are not going to get any calls this half

3/9/2016 3:49:07 PM

It's already beginning. Guy got mauled and they call it a jump ball (it looked like it probably was but no way we get that call). Come down to the other end and the Duke player knocks it out and they get possession. The refs are really just guessing on these calls anyway; they have no idea what actually happened.

Cat's hurt.

[Edited on March 9, 2016 at 3:56 PM. Reason : Fuck]

3/9/2016 3:51:10 PM

Cat has had to leave all three games against duke.
