Yeah, but not sure why....different coach, and he didnt play with anyone currently on the roster (the freshman from his last year all transferred or went pro).

3/16/2015 10:36:02 AM

thats definitely julius hodge there in th back next to taylor cunningham for the selection celebration.

So we can expect him to go 0 for from three?

3/16/2015 10:37:57 AM

He probably just knows he's gonna get heckled like crazy

You're a negative nancy for every game, no surprise here.

While I applaud your optimism, as it's so rare in these parts, put down the pipe

You realize that's never happened right? What kind of odds do you want? I'll bet $texas on that.

3/16/2015 10:43:43 AM

he doesn't look upset at all, because... he doesnt know we are playing LSU yet when the camera is on the team you numnuts.

Huh? The video posted ITT shows us as the 8 seed, with no matchup yet. Was it different on TV?

^ Yeah, I kept watching to find his reaction to LSU. He gives a fist pump when we are announced. He's just not as excited as Anya and Nard, and it's not like we were on the edge of our seat about getting in like in years past.

Another classic TWW overreaction.

Nah, the video and still shown on the NC State Basketball facebook page shows everyone else jumping in the air and Turner sitting there stony faced.

Maybe he's just as excited in the end of the video, and just slow on recognizing his team name.

So you're talking about the video posted ITT. You're judging way too much from the still, and as noted, his reaction is to us getting the 8 seed. the LSU matchup wasn't accounted yet. He pumps his fist and stands up celebrating etc in the video.

I don't see how anyone is overreacting by discussing Turner's celebration, or lack thereof. No one knows what Turner is thinking, but it's a comment on his facial expression. It's not, and was never meant to be insight into how he will play the game...

3/16/2015 11:03:58 AM

Turner wants to turn up. Nothing wrong with his reaction. He's gotta fire in his belly.

3/16/2015 11:04:07 AM

^ and ice on his leg

Sorry, I guess I should have said Classic case of TWW being misleading.

How are you focusing on Turner when Anya is clearly having the best glass of lemonade anyone has every beheld?

I don't really believe in curses, I just think NC State Shit is fun to discuss...

However if Nova loses to the 16 and we still don't get past the first weekend, I would seriously start a spiritual exploration to discover whatever higher power has chosen to forsake us.

3/16/2015 11:43:18 AM

watching nova lose to lafayette then have our guys come out and shut the bed would be some ultra nc state shit

3/16/2015 11:48:11 AM

Let's be realistic. Nova's not going to lose to a 16. Any shutting of the bed would be entirely unrelated.

Clearly.

Does anyone know what time we'll play on Saturday when (if) we prevail on Thursday? I'm trying to make reservations for Saturday night and don't see weekend times listed yet.

^^I'm assuming it should be a later (7 or 9ish), prime-time game since it will involve the #1 seed. Save that date night for another night.

Dan Dakich be trollin' (again)

Doesn't seem so bad. He wasn't calling State players children. He said the same thing about Villanova BEFORE the brackets came up last night.

I don't like the guy but not everything is a slight on us.

3/16/2015 1:29:00 PM

Dirty Dan knows how to get retweets. Good for him. I generally enjoy his B1G coverage with Mike Tirico.

3/16/2015 1:54:45 PM

I don't think any team in the tournament field has children on it. Way to state the obvious, Dakich.

3/16/2015 1:56:20 PM

may be some 17 year olds out there

and yeah - dakich is all about saying what he knows will rile folks up. and we're an easy target. he's not gonna shy away from taking the chance to make a joke that he knows will cause a reaction.

Ummm.......there's been pictures on social media of Turner sitting at the selection celebration with a huge ice pack strapped to his left knee. So perhaps THAT'S why he didn't jump up like in years past or like his teammates did. Stop making something out of nothing. He fist pumped and was smiling when we were announced......AND like everyone on here said, that video was from before the opponent was announced.

3/16/2015 2:34:01 PM

You're a little late to the conversation. We've moved on. No one is maligning Turner, don't worry.

I'm a little late to the conversation because I was too busy being at the tournament and didn't get home until late last night AND I've been busy with clients at work all day soooooo.....stop with the shade.

3/16/2015 3:17:12 PM

Jokes on them, our curse is we lose every game after we BEAT Duke or UNC, doesn't say anything about after we lose to them.

3/16/2015 3:21:19 PM

Look how seemingly unexcited the 1 or 2 players who stay seated appear to be. Must have to do with facing Turner...

I thought I saw Warren as well...but it's unlikely a current NBA player would be able to travel for that, right?

Warren played 16 minutes in Phoenix last night.

3/16/2015 5:00:23 PM

No reason to read anything into Ralston's reaction (or lack thereof); teammates have already said on multiple occasions that he is a quiet, low-key dude and doesn't show a ton of emotion typically.

I can understand the negativity on the LSU boards about Ralston, I mean it's normal to feel somewhat betrayed or slighted when someone transfers away. I mean we are still salty about Harrow and Purvis. That being said, screw them, he's ours now they can suck it.

3/16/2015 5:06:34 PM

Yeah but Purvis and Harrow are both little bitches

3/16/2015 5:10:57 PM

we've either got an elite 8 run in us, or we lost to LSU.

3/16/2015 5:24:10 PM

3/16/2015 5:26:27 PM

I put us in the elite in my office bracket. GO HARD OR GO HOME FELLAS.

3/16/2015 5:31:01 PM

I always submit 2 brackets...one where we win the whole thing and one where we lose the first game.

3/16/2015 5:50:29 PM

Got damn it. Just win the fucking 1st game first. STFU with all the elite 8 talks.

3/16/2015 6:33:37 PM

^this

Just focus on hurdle #1
