Dammit. This is the only one I haven't at least partially listened to. Someone needs to get the audio highlights going.

" Leslie Leads the Way As Wolfpack Closes Out Spain Trip with a 86-71 Win Las Palmas, Canary Islands – Six players scored in double figures for NC State as the Wolfpack defeated the Gran Canaria Select squad, 86-71, on Monday at the Centro Insular de Deportes. The Pack concluded its Spanish exhibition tour with a 4-0 mark. Junior forward C.J. Leslie had his best outing of the trip, scoring 19 points, with 14 of those coming after intermission. He also tied with senior forward Richard Howell for top rebounding honors with eight boards in the contest. Freshman guard Tyler Lewis also had his best performance to date, notching 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range. He also tied fellow guard, junior Lorenzo Brown, for top assist honors with six on the day. Also scoring in double figures were Brown and Howell with 13 each, while forwards, senior Scott Wood and freshman T.J. Warren, each contributed 10 in the victory. Wolfpack head coach Mark Gottfried was pleased by the overall improvement shown by his team on the trip, but noted there was still plenty of room for growth once preseason practice begins in October. “I like the fact our guys had a lot of energy and played the right way,” Gottfried said. “When I look at the trip, overall it was a good trip. We got a lot accomplished. I know where we want to be and I know what’s facing us down the road here and we’ve got to get a lot better.” NC State was originally slated to play five contests on its tour, but Sunday’s game was called at halftime due slick playing surface created by sand blown from the Sahara Desert some 300 miles away from the venue."

Braketology now has us as a 3with some folks arguing us as a 1 over ucla.

8/14/2012 9:45:30 AM

LOL at some of the nando comments about the trip. Ppl are all "the economy is in the shitter, and we use taxpayers money to send these kids to Spain for some pseudo education?! All education should be PRIVATIZZZEDDDD!!!"

8/14/2012 10:31:18 AM

can we get jbrick's penis gif out of my sports talk please? I'm browsing this shit at work.

8/14/2012 12:55:35 PM

^ for real.

8/14/2012 1:45:21 PM

I think that its awesome

8/14/2012 1:49:23 PM

Of course you do, of course you do.

(i'd also prefer no penises)

8/14/2012 1:59:44 PM

I'm growing more and more concerned over this Purvis bullshit.

8/14/2012 2:09:22 PM

Anyone glossing over football to look forward to basketball is no friend of mine

8/14/2012 2:10:13 PM

Yeah, i was hoping it was going to be sorted out in a few days.
Has there been any news about it since it first came out?

8/14/2012 2:34:24 PM

I love football...but its hard to get excited about 7-5 and Belk Bowls. I mean...we have the potential to go to the ACC championship, but our LBs are young and unproven, and we've already lost one starting WR and will probably lose a shit ton more before the season is over.

This basketball team is stacked. And with Warren putting up some of the best numbers over this trip...I'm at a semi-chub right now.

8/14/2012 3:34:07 PM

^Yeah I agree. I am a little leery of the football team seeing that TOB starts every season like shit and we've got UT to open the year. I think we'll have another bowl year, but not enough talent to win anything worth remembering. With Duke/UNC/the rest of the ACC still a little down in basketball, we have a chance to actually be a top 10 type team for once. It is hard as a State fan to not look ahead.

8/14/2012 3:51:12 PM

news on if our new guy is eligible yet?

8/14/2012 7:59:27 PM

The stars will have to align perfectly for us to ever win an ACC championship and get to a BCS bowl under TOB. We are never consistently good.

Underwood was not a starting WR

8/14/2012 8:07:47 PM

So I assume Rodney is going to school with everyone else tomorrow?

I wasn't sure how that was working. He completed summer school classes but he isn't officially qualified for NCAA play? Does he have to pay for the courses he took if he is still found ineligible?

8/15/2012 7:41:38 PM

NCAA eligibility and admissions are two separate things

though i don't know how athletic scholarships are handled

His tweets are making me depressed.

8/16/2012 1:25:45 AM

if everything works out, he's going to be so pissed that he starts to destroy people on the bball court.

8/16/2012 8:47:30 AM

Is there a legitimate chance that he won't be able to play. Up until that tweet I just figured this was "one of those things" that works itself out. As in, the problem is correctable and he'll be good to go. Now I'm starting to worry. Could this really turn into a Lorenzo Brown situation of 3 years ago?

8/16/2012 10:34:42 AM

Never forget that this is NC State.

8/16/2012 10:46:29 AM

and don't forget gremlins. gremlins and curses.

8/16/2012 10:55:31 AM

oh shit. we talking about ghouls up in here?

Adidas should do this. It just be us, Louisville, and Baylor tho.

8/16/2012 11:02:13 AM

According to the Wiki page, the following schools have Adidas sponsorships for basketball:

Baylor Bears
Cincinnati Bearcats
Indiana Hoosiers
Kansas Jayhawks
Louisville Cardinals
Michigan Wolverines
NC State Wolfpack
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Saint Mary's Gaels
Tennessee Volunteers
Texas A&M Aggies
UCLA Bruins
Wisconsin Badgers

There are a bunch of smaller schools too. You could make a decent tournament out of that.

8/16/2012 11:47:33 AM

it would be more than "decent" I would think, with brand names like those

8/16/2012 12:03:22 PM

Poor Gott. Caught in a Ponzi scheme.

It's a theme with teams I support.

8/16/2012 12:16:28 PM

I'm hearing some bad rumors about Purvis not going to be eligible to play. I'm trying to confirm sources.

8/16/2012 12:22:53 PM

i heard leslie didn't renew his lease!

8/16/2012 12:30:20 PM

Yeah he did

8/16/2012 12:31:37 PM

Purvis wasnt allowed to attend classes today. I have a bad feeling that this is going to drag on for a while, hopefully he'll suit up this season

8/16/2012 12:40:34 PM

god fucking dammit.

8/16/2012 12:46:23 PM

our school is fucking cursed

8/16/2012 12:48:40 PM

somebody really dropped the ball, most likely his hs, but it seems this should have been resolved a while ago.

[Edited on August 16, 2012 at 12:51 PM. Reason : ^yep, definitely a curse. we're the only school who has good players ruled inelegible. why god]

8/16/2012 12:48:47 PM

Please for all that is holy let him become eligible. I'll just fucking lose my head if he can't play this season.

8/16/2012 12:49:19 PM

of course it was his HS

8/16/2012 12:49:19 PM

^i was referring to how late in the game this is all happening. if you scan PP, many are blaming the ncaa for just realizing there was a problem.

8/16/2012 12:52:12 PM

what pisses me off is that he had to go through application process at NCSU...one would think a problem would have shown itself then...not now.
