2nd is a stretch.

I'd def agree if you said third.

2/25/2014 9:53:25 PM

arguably 2nd, regular season

the win total numbers attest to that

2/25/2014 9:55:20 PM

Harder to win the number of games then than now. Tougher ACC + lesser number of games .

2/25/2014 10:00:03 PM

Win or lose I'm rushing.

wow, i always assumed boozie was a mid-40s poster that migrated over from PP.

But let's be real. MG has more wins in two seasons than any State coach since the early '70s (or something like that, i don't remember the actual stat). He might not be the answer to a national championship, but he's ok for now, right?

2/25/2014 10:14:49 PM

^ yes

so basically sidney lowe was the best recruiter we ever fired?

2/26/2014 4:23:57 AM

^Sure, that's why this team we have this year is rough on paper but still has a chance to be a 20-win team considering we only have 1 Lowe player(Vandy). I thought the optimistic goal this year would be .500 in the ACC, 20 wins, make the NIT, and now they seem somewhat realistic.

No one expected us to beat UNC this year before the season started, so I have no doubt we're going to get smashed tonight. Never even considered us making the NCAA Tourney at any point this season, not sure why anyone bought into that hype. We'll lose tonight and then focus on getting 20-wins, not playing the first day of the ACCT, and then try and have a solid finish to the year. Making the NIT would be very beneficial to our roster given that so many will be back next year(bye Vandy and Warren).

2/26/2014 8:19:45 AM

^ very reasonable commentary on TWW. good to see.

2/26/2014 9:25:14 AM

^^^unfortunately Sid couldn't win with his own recruits.
We're at 17 wins right now and should get at least a few more, with Vandy and arguably Lewis as the only Sid-recruits on the team.
Sid only got 15 wins his final year with all his recruits.
i know, i know, don't respond to earl.

anyways, i think we may have this tonight, guys.

Huh? Why do you think that? That was the 50s/60s.

I'm talking about Gottfried having the most wins in two seasons since the early 70s.

just curious, why do you think expectations were so low this year?

2/26/2014 10:23:38 AM

Stop it, you know why Earl. Because Gottfried couldn't couldn't convince Howell and Wood to come back another year.

2/26/2014 10:24:41 AM

I'll never forgive Coach K for being so terrible of a coach that Kyrie went pro after a year. What a shitty college bball coach.

2/26/2014 10:27:49 AM

they gotta guard us too pal

2/26/2014 10:31:32 AM

We didn't come here to be 2nd

2/26/2014 10:34:03 AM

I think its time for Earl to get a timeout

2/26/2014 10:42:50 AM

Got my red on and my flags flying, GO PACK!

2/26/2014 10:51:04 AM

NCSU in 2014 where NIT bids are good seasons.....

2/26/2014 11:27:54 AM

you must be forgetting the 3 years under Lowe where we went to no tourney, and all of his years which we spent as a bottom of the barrel team in the ACC.

2/26/2014 11:32:57 AM

lol@pb

2/26/2014 11:33:07 AM

NCSU in 2014 where we lost 90% of our offense from the previous season and were expected to finish 10th in the conference... but we should definitely make the tournament and if we don't the team and coach are failures and should all be fired.

2/26/2014 11:38:54 AM

well well well, guess who just got a ticket to the game. I guess I should go ahead and start drinking now

2/26/2014 11:42:59 AM

May I make a recommendation?

2/26/2014 11:54:03 AM

That dude is exactly how I imagine the majority of Carolina fans look

2/26/2014 12:08:02 PM

Hopefully I won't be doing this the whole game:

2/26/2014 12:09:55 PM

^^^ haha

2/26/2014 12:15:26 PM

so do we wear the black uni's tonight?

2/26/2014 12:32:50 PM

so let me rephrase the question :

Do you think we are the 10th most taletned team in the ACC? If not, why do you think expectations were 10th?

2/26/2014 1:46:46 PM

4 point dogs

2/26/2014 2:13:18 PM

Natty? You sick fuckes.

On paper I think we have more talent, but our talent is all freshman and sophomores with a few transfers to help fill gaps in recruiting due to a coaching transition.

I know, I know. Don't respond to Earl

^Clemson doesn't care about preseason ranking.

2/26/2014 2:40:02 PM

I'm feeling surprisingly confident about this came. Not a, "we're definitely going to win this game" type of confidence. Just a confidence that our team is going to show up and not shit the bed like they did in Chapel Hill. I rarely have this feeling. I was about 99% sure that we were going to lay an egg there.

2/26/2014 3:11:21 PM

Gott called it David v Goliath. So there's that.

2/26/2014 3:15:01 PM

we are goliath.

because we are going to die.

2/26/2014 3:16:00 PM

Maybe Gottfried just read Malcom Gladwell's David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants and recognizes that David's weaponry far outmatched Goliath and David actually had an advantage in the fight. Maybe its his way of saying that we will victor!

2/26/2014 3:41:39 PM

I need a ticket. I don't care if I have to buy it and I also have a student ID. Just want to get in the door. Please message me, text, or call....

2/26/2014 3:44:00 PM

What's your phone number?

2/26/2014 3:49:29 PM

I'm feeling alright about this game. Not saying we'll win, but I don't see a blowout. UNC is not an offensive juggernaut, but their defense is really really good. (Weird saying that about a Roy Williams team.) They also crush teams on the offensive glass, so we've got to rebound halfway decently.

Last game, we made our big-run in the second half playing small with TJ at the 4 and Freeman at the 5. McAdoo couldn't hang with Warren and Freeman hedged perfectly on all their ball screens for Paige. We also scored pretty easy running the weave with Cat, Dez, Tyler, and Warren.

Will be interesting to see if we go to that lineup this game, because UNC destroyed our traditional UCLA offense.

2/26/2014 3:52:25 PM

Gott also said we would be 30-point underdogs, we are actually 3-point dogs
