This can't be emphasized enough. We never had a dominant rebounding big man, never had a bad ass point guard, never had a lock down 3 ball threat, and we never had an exciting offense. This team has progressed a lot, and if you were keeping in touch with them since the begining of the herbie days, I can't see how you could not be happy with the results so far.

the dance team has been the best thing about NC State basketball since Hodge left

12/31/2011 1:42:52 PM

^i agree with this statement. Me and my roommate got to sit on the front row right behind the dance team my junior year at a basketball game. I don't remember who we were playing or the score.

12/31/2011 1:42:58 PM

I love how people forget we finished 4th in the ACC at 10-6 and won a NCAA game after Hodge graduated.

12/31/2011 1:45:28 PM

I love how people make off-based assumptions about knowing something that they think someone else doesnt know just to make themselves feel better

and I stick with my statement

Honestly, people said this Sid's first year too. All I care about is results. Hopefully with Gottfried they will come. We are certainly recruiting at a high level, so the wins should follow the next few years.

Tigers in 3
Habs in 4
TOB sucks

And then we lost to a stacked Texas team. Oh, I didn't forget. I was watching that game on a big screen somewhere off of chamberlin street.

12/31/2011 1:49:45 PM

not to mention i was at our 2 NCAA tourney games that year

Texas game was a showcase of poor in-game coaching where the coach actually harmed the team. Very infuriating.

It would have been better if Herb just missed the plane before that game.

12/31/2011 1:57:01 PM

Any streams????

12/31/2011 2:06:58 PM

At least we're trying on defense today but god this is terrible

12/31/2011 2:10:38 PM

neither team has made a basket in the first 4 minutes and 20 seconds. I'm not sure i've ever watched a game where neither team has made a field goal before the first media timeout...lol

12/31/2011 2:12:33 PM

Gotta impress julius randle

12/31/2011 2:13:28 PM

Nice behind the back by brown. thought it got caught on his shirt there for a second.

12/31/2011 2:16:38 PM

Wood, leslie, brown. Good job getting the good players the ball.

12/31/2011 2:17:03 PM

Go Pack!

12/31/2011 2:17:21 PM

who wants to share their espn3 login info with me

12/31/2011 2:22:38 PM

As soon as AJ comes in, they hit 3s. The guy didn't even attempt to go over the screen

12/31/2011 2:24:56 PM

right on cue we decide not to guard the 3 pointer. This is uncanny, I've never seen a team just refuse to guard the perimeter like this.

12/31/2011 2:25:12 PM

anybody have a justin.tv stream? nothing on firstrowsports

12/31/2011 2:25:28 PM

jordan collins behind the bench

ALEX BROWN GOIN WILD

I liked how this run got started with a guy throwing a pass into Williams's balls

12/31/2011 2:30:35 PM

Lorenzo is a bad, bad man in the open court. 2 ESPN top 10 type layups on fast breaks already.

12/31/2011 2:30:54 PM

quiet in here when shit's going our way

12/31/2011 2:30:57 PM

Really a better team when Brown is aggressive.

12/31/2011 2:31:05 PM

This is more like it. We're finally playing some defense and immediately we start wiping the floor with them.

As good as we are in transition it's a shame we can't create any turnovers to get it going.

12/31/2011 2:31:22 PM

I think TWW was down during the run

12/31/2011 2:32:40 PM

TDT looks like voldemort.

Beautiful finish.

Pump the breaks, bro. If western carolina comes out hot with guns a blazin then this lead will evaporate quicker than diethylether on a hot Texan day.

12/31/2011 3:00:58 PM

I was speaking specifically of CJ Williams' dunk. Beautiful finish to that dunk...

12/31/2011 3:02:25 PM

Let's go for 40 points. We should have trapped that final ball screen when the shot clock was under 5 seconds.

[Edited on December 31, 2011 at 3:07 PM. Reason : .]

12/31/2011 3:07:18 PM

you could throw the best intramural team at State up against us and get a better game than this...

12/31/2011 3:10:01 PM

Richard Howell should no longer have any "chops"

12/31/2011 3:10:37 PM

Wow , epic beatdown.

12/31/2011 3:19:00 PM

We are breaking our rule. Never pass the ball to Painter or Howell on the block to work 1 on 1. Just let them get rebounds and weak side points.


Howell, Wood, Leslie, sometimes Williams. Your offense come from these guys. Only pass it to those other guys if no one is guarding them.

---

Again, as soon as AJ comes in, they hit a 3. I hope Gott is taking note of the pattern.

[Edited on December 31, 2011 at 3:20 PM. Reason : .]

12/31/2011 3:19:40 PM

How do you miss on a fast break? Western Carolina is falling apart.

And damn, Wood's three was feeeet behind the arc.

[Edited on December 31, 2011 at 3:25 PM. Reason : ]

12/31/2011 3:23:48 PM

this is just a total asskicking. amazing what we can do when we defend. Western carolina is horrid offensively though geez.

Hopefully we can build off this momentum. We've only got one more prep game before conference play begins.

Our first four conference games are all basically must wins so we have to be ready to go.


Holy shit is this box score right, we are out assisting them 23 to 1 right now??? I've never seen anything like that before

[Edited on December 31, 2011 at 3:33 PM. Reason : a]

12/31/2011 3:31:34 PM

40 point win in jeopardy. Get your heads in the game. wtf

12/31/2011 3:33:54 PM

^^I think the announcers just said the assists set the ACC record (or high for the season, I'm not sure which).

[Edited on December 31, 2011 at 3:34 PM. Reason : ]

12/31/2011 3:34:01 PM

AJ never fails to give up the 3

12/31/2011 3:36:15 PM

the bench must have pissed Gott off by that syracuse lost, because they have been limited since then.

12/31/2011 3:37:52 PM

^indeed.


The cameraman is all over that dance team redhead. She's like a hot alien

12/31/2011 3:38:44 PM

Did that just say Alex Johnson is 6'5?

12/31/2011 3:39:27 PM

^5'10" I thought they said.
