hahahaha

i hate when people say "we are 20x better than this (insert name) team..."

people see the name "rider" or "new orleans" and think they are bad teams

just b/c they are unheard of doesn't make them bad...
i'd say the talent on each team we've played has been on par with our own

11/23/2007 1:44:10 PM

BDUB, you would say that South Carolina is equally talented with us????

11/23/2007 1:45:15 PM

our awesome front court is playing like a sendek front court. not posting up, standing around at three point line, taking long shots, not rebounding.


fells needs to assert himself again


^seriously, that's retarded

Flat out, you're wrong. Dead wrong. Now a mid-major team like Creighton or Butler that is true... but UNO and Rider have 1 player each that could even make our roster. We SHOULD beat those teams by 20. We always beat those teams handily in the past... and we need to do it now.

You're talking about a middle level Sun Belt team and a middle level MAAC team... not a top 3 Horizon or MWC team...

11/23/2007 1:46:42 PM

I don't give a shit how talented a team is, if they don't care and don't try, they lose.

See: UNO.

"This isn't a baseball season. There are only so many wins on the table and considering we're in a VERY GOOD conference we need to beat the inferior teams. This would be the 2nd loss out of 4 to teams we should be beating. That isn't a good start and will make us getting to the NCAAs VERY difficult."

This game will mean next to nothing in March. This is the fourth game of the season. Unless we're planning on being a bubble team this game will not be important at all.

[Edited on November 23, 2007 at 1:48 PM. Reason : and you saw where that great start got Clemson last year]

11/23/2007 1:47:29 PM

yeah i would say they are equally talented with us.

if they weren't, we would have the 30 point blow out you want.


i'm sorry, but just b/c a team is named UNO or rider doesn't mean they have sucky players.. most of the time, those players are more scrappy and more of a hustler than players on other taems..

God willing. I think we can win this game still but right now, watching this team, I'll take a bubble team any day...

-----------

Talent does not equal results. No one can seriously think UNO or Rider has as much talent as NC State. They play hard and maybe more as a team but the talent levels are NO WHERE NEAR EACH OTHER.

11/23/2007 1:48:54 PM

HI I'M JJ HICKSON I'M PLAYIN LIKE A DINGBAT

11/23/2007 1:49:01 PM

Where are South Carolina's all americans?

We're just getting outplayed by a team that wants it more we do. Bottom line. We're playing with no heart. If this team tried this game wouldn't be close.

11/23/2007 1:49:27 PM

thats just a dumbass statement BDub. USC just gives a fuck. It has nothing to do with talent. Watch USC crash the boards. Thats not talent, thats heart. Our team has ZERO heart this year

11/23/2007 1:49:44 PM

why are the announcers acting like nc state wants to play at a slower pace than south carolina? Dave Odom is the king of 40 point games. NC State has a long way to go if they want to compete this year. This game is such an ugly game it is painful to watch.

11/23/2007 1:49:50 PM

Hey this is TWW, where's the racism?

if jj hickson was white, he would be better.

11/23/2007 1:50:48 PM

i agree, the most frustrating thing about watching Herb teams was the lack of rebounding b/c our big men were standing around the 3 point line... WHY ARE WE STILL DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!! POST UP DAMNIT

I'm tired of this shit, now. Stop turning the ball over and grab some fucking boards, lets go.

11/23/2007 1:50:57 PM

hey, i'm a die hard state fan like the rest of the people in here.
but call it heart, talent, whatever you want... the fact is, i don't think we are as good of a team (at this point in the season) as people think we are.

i just hate when people say "we SHOULD beat them by 20 points". says who? that's why you play the game.
the other team doesn't come on the court sayign "we should lose by 20 points"

11/23/2007 1:51:15 PM

here's to hoping we blow them away in the second half.

11/23/2007 1:51:24 PM

oh, i forgot my angry face

11/23/2007 1:52:08 PM

Costner looks like a fat lazy slob this year.

that's some nc state shit right there

11/23/2007 1:52:53 PM

We need a Lou Holtz pep talk.

11/23/2007 1:53:04 PM

I hate those stupid pep talk segments he does.

[Edited on November 23, 2007 at 1:53 PM. Reason : ^]

11/23/2007 1:53:41 PM

we seem to play better from behind in the 2nd half anyways.

11/23/2007 1:53:43 PM

ncstate sports timeline:

suck really badly --> import new coach --> get new hopes and a few big wins --> suck really badly --> repeat

11/23/2007 1:54:46 PM

when do we get our new coach?

11/23/2007 1:55:29 PM

i dont see how you guys can blame hickson when the coach won't allow him to get a rhythem. imagine what would happen to unc if hansbrough sat the bench the first five minutes of every game and only played 10 minutes per half.

and i don't care who you are. when you play at a piss slow pace, theres no way you win by more than 20.

teams with superber talent usually speed the game up and eventually talent and depth shows.

3 on 1 and SC still gets the rebound, then we subsequently give a little foul on an eazy shot

frustrating

costner

11/23/2007 2:01:02 PM

OMG did you see that fucking bullshit. The guy costner "fouled" was laughing at the call when he was running back up the court b/c he knew he sold the ref some good bs.

11/23/2007 2:01:49 PM

no way that guy should get in the paint like that, absolutely no way that should happen

11/23/2007 2:02:01 PM

did mccauley not get raped on that drive to the basket??

11/23/2007 2:02:36 PM

our perimeter defense has been noticeably bad in every game i've watched so far. people just drivin right past our guards. way too easy for any team to get into the lane. thats how UNO got their points, its how rider was gettin theres and its how SC is doin it now

11/23/2007 2:03:22 PM

this is ri-god-damn-diculous
