was just shown a ton of love on the Grantland Live feed from Simmons, House, and Cousin Sal

they also really like us

After I win my billion dollars, I'm buying an NBA team and hiring Simmons to run it.

wicked dry-erase skills there.

3/20/2014 1:38:06 PM

is that a stencil?

3/20/2014 6:59:57 PM

you're a great player and all but might wanna learn how to shoot free throws before you go to the nba

3/20/2014 9:49:03 PM

I think he needs to stay another year to work on his FT shooting. Will help him in the draft.

3/20/2014 10:02:40 PM

No, not a stencil. And damn...all the missed free throws

3/20/2014 10:06:40 PM

He can't end his career like this. He doesn't seem to be a CJ Leslie.

3/20/2014 10:32:45 PM

I was mad until I saw this.



Now I'm just sad.

3/20/2014 10:34:00 PM

Lol he looks like he's fine then sees the camera and realizes he's supposed to be hurt

3/20/2014 10:40:30 PM

If I were recruiting against NC State, I only need to show a compilation of all the NC State Shit.

3/20/2014 10:45:25 PM

Radio guys said his ankle was bothering him pretty bad during the 2nd half. Really messed with his FT shooting form. Couldn't raise up off the ankle.

Tremendous season regardless. Really gonna miss this guy

3/21/2014 12:34:32 AM

Very much appreciated. It's kinda crazy to think that he possibly had his worst game and still ended with 28 points, 3 steals and almost a double-double.

3/21/2014 12:16:15 PM

Props to all the fans posting messages of support to TJW in their twitter and facebook stati

3/21/2014 12:40:46 PM

People attacking TJ Warren on Twitter for missing free throws make me want to seriously hurt someone. What the hell is wrong with these people?!?!

3/21/2014 1:44:04 PM

^
I wasn't being sarcastic? Folks are genuinely showing support to TJ and the team.

3/21/2014 1:47:04 PM

I know you aren't but I looked on TJ's twitter feed and there are some seriously disturbed people attacking him for last night. Makes me sick.

3/21/2014 1:48:02 PM

he did choke pretty hard. i'm not sure everyone knows about the injury because they kept it quiet.

3/21/2014 1:52:41 PM

fuckin' lunatic fringe

^no shit, he choked from the line, but that doesn't negate the fact that he had the best season and is our best player since......

[Edited on March 21, 2014 at 1:54 PM. Reason : ]

Sure, those people are jack asses, but unfortunately it comes with the territory. Hopefully it's just jackasses who lost money on the game instead of actual fans.

A lot of people missed free throws last night. It wasn't all his fault. The whole team choked. We wouldn't be in the god damn tournament if it weren't for TJ.

[Edited on March 21, 2014 at 1:55 PM. Reason : .]

3/21/2014 1:55:32 PM

nobody other than vandy missed all of their free throws and nobody else missed as many free throws. if we took tj out of the game up 16, there would have been no chance of losing. he lost the game.

now its not that bad that he lost the game considering he got us there but its like when lebron loses games for the heat. you can't say he didn't lose the game just because he's the best player.

3/21/2014 2:12:50 PM

TJ shot 6-14 from the line (43%). The rest of the team shot 14/23 (61%). Lee/Lewis/Turner shot 9/11 (82%).

TJ choked from the line. But I ain't mad at him, not one bit. I've got nothing but love for the guy and would love to choke someone who's talking shit to him on twitter.

^and of course The E Man is being silly. TJ did not lose the game, we never would have been up that much if it weren't for him. And we wouldn't have even been there if it weren't for him.

I do not agree with TJ "losing the game." TJ did not shoot all of his free throws in the last 3 minutes. Cat Barber was 3-6 from FT line and shot quite a few of them towards the end of the game. Tyler turned the ball over 7 times in that game. At the end, several people missed key free throws and were unable to defend ANYTHING on the other side of the court. They simply looked exhausted before we even got to overtime.

They missed free throws and were unable to stop St Louis from scoring.

guise! guise! the WHOLE TEAM lost us the game, not just TJW. we were leading, then NC State shit happened. that's all there is to it. NC State shit isn't about a single player. It is about the TEAM. NC State shit could give two shits about who is on the court. NC State shit doesn't discriminate. NC State shit just is what it is.

3/21/2014 3:03:22 PM

ain't no such thing as NC State shit (although it's certainly easy to believe sometimes)

3/21/2014 3:05:55 PM

bro, I believe we all witnessed it last night.

3/21/2014 3:07:42 PM

Any State fan talking shit to TJ should be severely beaten.

3/21/2014 3:11:19 PM

great players should never be held accountable for their mistakes. got it.

3/21/2014 3:24:43 PM

shut up

3/21/2014 3:27:12 PM

TJ choked and fans can be stupid jackass idiots at times. Both statements are true.

3/21/2014 3:30:09 PM

I will not agree that TJ choked when he dropped 28 points in the game, especially if he was dealing with an ankle injury. The team blew this game for a number of reasons (5 games in 8 days is insane) and it will be a really tough loss for a long time for them. I hope this isn't TJ's final game for NCSU but I can't see him staying when his stock will never get higher than it is now.

"his stock will never get higher than it is now"

so you're saying he's overrated and will be exposed if he comes back?

or are you saying he's incapable of developing a perimeter shot, better ball handling or passing ability?

or are you saying next years class is deeper than this one?

3/21/2014 4:03:14 PM

Why do you have to be a fucking asshat?

I am saying that breaking David Thompson's single season scoring record and being ACC player of the year are two feats that are pretty difficult to outperform. He has a ton of NBA buzz around him right now and have people putting him in the top 15 picks. Would you come back?

Quote :

"Danny Nowell, TrueHoop Network: T.J. Warren, North Carolina State. Warren is currently projected to be drafted just after the lottery, and I can't figure out why he's not slated higher. He's 6-foot-8 with an array of crafty runners and floaters, a decent handle, and a few 40-point games to his name this season. If Warren fell to my team, I'd be thrilled. Kevin Pelton, ESPN Insider: T.J. Warren, North Carolina State. We know Warren can score. If he can parlay that output into a 12-5 upset, and maybe even one more, it would dramatically increase the chances that he'll come out this season while his stock is hottest."

Good luck TJ.

He will be expected to do that whether he goes pro or not. Staying another year and making the progression that scouts expect him to won't improve his draft stock.

3/21/2014 4:43:08 PM

he would certainly be a top 10 pick if he fixed one of those things. top 5 if he fixed shooting.

Marcus Smart passed up being a likely lotto pick, came back and took his game to a whole new level. Now he'll enter the NBA as a rising star instead of just another rookie.

Quote :

"12. North Carolina State Wolfpack Potential first-rounder: T.J. Warren, F, sophomore Wait until next year: Anthony Barber, PG, freshman After Doug McDermott, Warren has been the best scorer in college basketball. He's not a great shooter, and he's not an elite athlete, but he has a nose for the ball and a full repertoire of floaters and midrange jumpers, and he is as aggressive as anyone in the country when looking for his shot. NBA scouts are all over the board when it comes to figuring out what type of pro he'll be, but it has been hard to ignore that this guy can put up points on anyone. Barber is a cat-quick guard who plays a solid role for the Wolfpack off the bench. Give him another year and he could be a first-rounder."
