1/13/2015 9:35:12 AM

^plus an obvious push-off sending barber into the 3rd row

1/13/2015 9:36:41 AM

^, ^^ the oracles have spoken

1/13/2015 10:35:13 AM

the last-second paige game winner is a 90 foot heave that banks off abu's head and into the net

1/13/2015 11:21:49 AM

1/13/2015 11:36:34 AM

"strangle" us, but squeak by Wake? lol

1/13/2015 11:58:53 AM

I don't think they know what pessimism means

those won't get broken out again unless we want a technical foul called to start each half.

Red on Red numbers aren't allowed.

1/13/2015 12:17:10 PM

Wouldn't our uniforms be ejected then?

nah that's worst case. They aren't getting any moral victories in that scenario.

I love the "Roy Knew" idea. I was thinking about handing out fliers at the gates that said that.

is that a new rule that was made in the last two years?

Yeah, is this a new rule in the last two years? Because we sure didn't start that game with a T, nor the second half.

When did this suddenly change?

1/13/2015 3:21:42 PM

^^^it sounds familiar...can't remember exactly but yeah a year or two ago it seems like. the red numbers on red jerseys were too difficult to read apparently

guys

i think we're gonna win

1/13/2015 3:43:48 PM

I keep thinking this game is tonight, then getting disappointed we have to wait another day.

The NCAA 2014-2015 Rulebook linked above says on pages 27/28 of the book that the color of the neutral zone on the jersey should contrast with the color of the numbers.

But in the same Section they indicate that there is flexibility around the uniforms if both teams are in agreement.

It was against the rules when we wore them. The refs probably didn't know, though.

Quote :

" According to the NCAA’s Basketball Playing Rules, player numbers must be of a color which contrasts the “neutral zone”, basically the square in the center of the front and back of the jersey. The number can have a border of up to 1/2?, but the base color of the number must contrast the base color of the jersey. North Carolina State’s numbers which they wore against North Carolina did not meet this requirement. Red numbers with a white border on a red background do not meet the requirement. The game should have started with two technical free throws for the Tar Heels"

1/13/2015 5:03:36 PM

We'll be down 2-0 10 seconds into the game anyway, so fuck it, why not wear em.

in carolina blue, or maybe that would just be a good chant.

1/13/2015 5:33:54 PM

Dean knew...

then forgot.

1/13/2015 5:38:07 PM

STD!!....Oh wait

1/13/2015 5:38:13 PM

jeez, i didn't realize just how tall Carolina's starters are (6'1", 6'6", 6'8", 6'9", 6'9"). not sure how well that works out for us... hopefully see a good bit of the Martins covering their swingmen.

on the other hand, they attempt the third least 3 pointers in the nation (according to Backing the Pack's preview). percentage-wise, their best shooter (Tokoto) barely attempts one 3 pointer per game and makes 40%, which would put him 4th on our team (lol Washington), while Britt is shooting ~36% and Paige ~35% from 3. obviously Paige will shoot 80% tomorrow night, but I still think this bodes well for our recent defensive shift to give up more 3s in favor of a generally better interior presence.

1/13/2015 5:39:01 PM

Yeah we definitely need to make them beat us from 3. Knowing our luck Paige will knock down like 9 of them.

1/13/2015 5:44:17 PM

They gotta guard us too, pal.

Barber vs Paige should be a mismatch. And barber really, really needs to be aggressive driving on Paige. Not necessarily to score, but to pass as well. Paige can't keep up with him.

I'm interested to see who they put on Turner and especially Lacey.

1/13/2015 6:13:52 PM

1/13/2015 6:18:29 PM

^^ Barber always has the potential to draw fouls from his man (or from the help defender) when he's moving quickly too, but not sure if that will hold true when his man is Paige

"Barber vs Paige should be a mismatch. "

It's the battle of the two biggest floppers in the nation. Who will reign supreme? Barber with his Cat like quickness or Paige with his phantom flops after he shoots a 3 with a defender within 7 ft of him? A hilarious matchup.

But yeah, Barber should kill him on the drives BUT can Barber shut down Paige defense? I see both guys having big games. I hope that State learned from last year's debacle and to NOT celebrate after making a big bucket b/c Carolina love to score off easy transition buckets that way.

1/13/2015 9:08:20 PM

do they still do student campouts for these games?

1/13/2015 10:54:26 PM

From 2010-2012 they had the campouts outside Reynolds, but due to the Talley construction they moved it PNC in 2013-2014 and then Harris Field for this year. Way too regulated though, not like what I've heard it used to be like.
