you can take the TJ Warren out of Durham...

Incoming bitchfest about our best player's 'emotions'

12/30/2013 9:13:20 PM

Wow ... lucky to get out of that one. The last 10 minutes of the game was the worst offense we've played all year. The shots weren't terrible -- nothing would fall in.

Anybody see what the UNCG player did to piss TJ off?

12/30/2013 9:14:04 PM

Yeah, whatever was said really got to TJ apparently. Running mouths during game and after the end. Gottfried was all up in the mix. Crazyyyyy.

That was game was painful. *sigh* Coach seriously needs to make EVERY player (who gets PT) to shoot hundreds of straight FTs EACH day. It's ridiculous!

12/30/2013 9:14:52 PM

i'm sure UNCG doesn't have and thugs on the team...

also the whole team should spend the rest of the night shooting FTs i'm talking 1000 each

12/30/2013 9:15:04 PM

^^^what game were you watching? the shots WERE terrible. nearly everything was a contested midrange jumper or driving it into 3 guys at the rim. There wasn't a clean look over the last 10 minutes.

glad we made it out... but that was some awful offense

Good win. Go Pack.

12/30/2013 9:30:32 PM

jesus christ that was painful to watch in person

we get reamed by the refs in every game because no one stops the ball. our guards will go after offensive rebounds they have less chance at than wes miller does at getting laid leading to fast breaks...just a mess

12/30/2013 9:37:03 PM

our offense is going to look like that a few times again this year. we cant play freeman at the end of games for obvious reasons so that means in comes kyle washington who is a black hole of low percentage shots. and tj got the ball late, was iso'd to create and turned it over...as was said, creating shots like that is not his strength

12/30/2013 9:38:46 PM

Whoops, thought this was tomorrow. Don't like the looks of that final score vs a 7-7 team.

12/30/2013 9:44:20 PM

look, I'm glad that Vandy has improved and lost the weight and is able to (sometimes) finish around the rim now, but he still has godawful positioning on a regular basis and watches waaaaaaay too many rebounds go right by him

that's something that's going to absolutely destroy us in conference. that and FT shooting. sadly, those are two things that will be damn hard to improve on

that last 11 minutes was some of the worst basketball I've ever seen

Even the top teams will have a wtf score in college basketball, it comes with the territory so no need to go into hyperventilation . My main concern is that this is two straight games in which we blew double digit leads. I'll write this game off as a fluke since we went like 10 minutes in the second quarter without a field goal, i mean we can't possibly do worse than that this year i hope. This team is very hot and cold, and we need to get other guys in the mix on offense as Warren has a big target on his back. Also, Vandy appears to have slow reflexes at times on defense as it almost seems like he's playing 2 seconds behind live play at times. I think he needs some drugs to help his concentration... caffeine.

12/30/2013 10:41:27 PM

You don't know what you are talking about, kid. A quarter of our games have already been WTF games.

We can't really do much better than we have the last 2 games.

12/30/2013 10:53:29 PM

we cant play much better than a game you admit you didnt watch

seems legit

12/30/2013 10:58:36 PM

We can and will do better, and we will also do worse.

Y'all can go ahead and quote me on that. I'm a pretty reliable sports analyst.

12/30/2013 11:10:59 PM

And vandy is back to playing like complete shit just in time for the regular season. Freeman, Washington, and Anya are collectively going to send him to the bench by the end of the season.

12/30/2013 11:12:11 PM

If we shoot FTs better, we will be better. Period.

12/30/2013 11:12:20 PM

Case closed.

That's unlikely to happen. At best, 1 player will significantly improve how he shoots FTs during the season, and hopefully it's Cat.

In fact, the new guys on average won't improve at all during the season: http://basketball.realgm.com/article/231185/Do-Freshmen-Filled-Teams-Get-Better-In-Season

Anya might be the best candidate to improve a lot as he loses weight.

What W-L figure would it take to not suck?

cool, an article written in 2011, before the massive officiating rules changes in college basketball

how relevant

You do know that we went like 10 minutes without scoring in the 2nd half of this game right? I'm quite confident that we will do better, i'll point money on that shit.

12/31/2013 12:30:33 AM

someone needs to tell gott about the officiating changes in cbb because we sure as shit dont play like it. its cool and all that cat can hit elbow jumpers but we dont need clean shots when you can just barrel into a guy and get bailed out

12/31/2013 1:35:11 AM

We should patent the 10 minute drought. That is a signature NC State move.

12/31/2013 2:09:43 AM

i'd rather win a craptastic game than lose one. Move on to the next one.

12/31/2013 3:52:03 AM

I'll point ten shillings down that we get outscored 2 to 1 in the second quarter of our next match.

So does anyone know what started the fight? I havent heard anything about this.

1/2/2014 2:16:52 PM

what fight? There was never a fight. Dudes had some words and coaches got in between them. There was never any kind of physical altercation.

From my seats (2nd row behind the score bench), TJ was grabbed around/by the waist from behind by Cain after TJ was fouled towards the end of the game (when the first bunch up happened).
