does anybody know who has scored the most individual points on us this season and how many?

1/18/2006 11:51:07 AM

^^ I was at the RBC 3 or 4? years ago when we beat Duke when they were (I think) #1 at the time.

That shit was Crazy! We hit EVERY big shot we took.

Good times. Campus was a little crazy but nothing insane as far as i remember.

"has anyone heard anything about when we should expect costner back?"

Last I heard, he still hadn't returned to practice. Don't expect to see him play this year; most likely he'll get a medical redshirt.

It's a shame, too, because Costner was probably the most prepared of our three freshmen.

^^^ NCSU beat Duke when they were #1 during the 03-04 season
as well as beating Duke when they were #3 during the 02-03 season

proud to say i was at both of those games, and probably the third person on the court after the #1 upset

"I'll bet you $500 that Ced will beat Williams in 2 out of the following 3 categories: Points, Blocks and Rebounds."

Way to act hard then pussy out. You were too afraid to go on points alone?

sheldon 20pts 5rebs 3bks
ced 10pts 10rebs 6blks

Guess who still owned whom? Maybe you can make a wager that is actually relevant to "sheldon owning ced".

1/18/2006 2:28:55 PM

You honestly think that isn't fair?

1/18/2006 2:30:27 PM

Shelden averages more pts rebs and blks than ced, it is a fair bet

1/18/2006 2:34:26 PM

Are you too scared to go on points alone? If ced is not going to get owned, it's going to show up in the scoreboard, right? Or are we going to count moral victories, too?


^ yeah, but you are dumb if you let stats think for you. We don't dribble penetrate, they do. More opportunities for blocks. I'm not willing to bet on irrelevant shit like that

[Edited on January 18, 2006 at 2:40 PM. Reason : sdfkj]

1/18/2006 2:36:58 PM

So you're saying if it breaks down like this:

Ced: 12 pts, 10 reb, 6 blks

Wil: 13 pts, 4 reb, 2 blks


That Ced got owned?

1/18/2006 2:39:29 PM

shelden's the best big man in the country...he's not getting owned by anybody

1/18/2006 2:39:45 PM

Hmmm a senior playing at home in Cameron getting the benefit of most calls or a sophomore on a rival team who has never played at Cameron?

1/18/2006 2:44:07 PM

this is the dumbest fucking conversation possible


Ced is good, but he's still raw as fuck


Sheldon almost went pro last year


You do the math...I wouldnt be surprised of Sheldon drops 25 on him but Ced still plays a decent game. You two arent factoring in all of the details.

ding ding, we have a winner.

^^no, because i don't want to root for duke during this game. Why don't you come up with a realistic way of judging ced vs sheldon? I understand if you never really wanted to make a bet in the first place

And Im not a duke fan you fucking faggot, I'm just not an idiot. You'd have to be a moron of the biggest caliber to think that cedric is anywhere near williams.

[Edited on January 18, 2006 at 2:49 PM. Reason : sdfkj]

1/18/2006 2:47:54 PM

How about you bet based on who beats their averages in those 3 categories by the most?

Sheldon is definately going to score more points than Ced...thats what he does.

1/18/2006 2:49:40 PM

^and that's why he's better. that's the point

especially since he's not going to foul out, either

[Edited on January 18, 2006 at 2:50 PM. Reason : sdfkj]

1/18/2006 2:50:26 PM

Would skokiaan be willing to bet based on who scores more points per minutes played?

1/18/2006 2:53:37 PM

I like that bet better myself, of course I think she-will still wins

1/18/2006 2:58:26 PM

jesus fuck. Come up with more obscure ways to get at the fact that "Shleden williams will play better than cedric simmons."


ced already leads in PPM. Clearly cedric is the better player

1/18/2006 2:59:41 PM

DUMB FUX.

PLEASE STOP WITH BULLSHIT.

Who gives a shit who does better in fucking points per minute.

I'm in it to win the War, not some side bet battle.

besides, we wont beat duke with blocks and dunks, it come down to, like it always does, us hitting our 3's and long jumpers in pressure situations.

when we do, we win, when we dont, WE ALWAYS LOSE.

First, NyM410 is not a dookie. NyM410 might mention UConn once per thread, but he has forgotten more about sports than Panthro will ever know.

If skokiaan is so sure Williams is better than Ced, why does he refuse to bet on it? and why is he such a Duke fan?

btw, gg on looking up what my sn means, haha

No, Panthro, I won't let you blow me.

Don't forget that JJ usually tears us a new asshole cause our perimeter guarding can't keep up

I'm hardcore NCSU all the way, but I'm still realistic

1/18/2006 3:28:30 PM

Haha I just looked up what erudite means after all of that.

But seriously it's gameday! Stop all this other bullshit. Im going to get some beer.

1/18/2006 3:33:35 PM

Please, I didn't look shit up, and you are the one who is scared to bet straight up on who is better. I guarantee that most state fans agree that williams is better than simmons. Look no farther than this thread.

Irony being irony, however, you persist in shouting how stupid you are.

[Edited on January 18, 2006 at 3:43 PM. Reason : dsf]

1/18/2006 3:42:27 PM

Bennerman on JJ Ced on Shelden Atsur on Paulus Evtimov on McRoberts Tony on Doc

Evtimov and Brack switch on and off on Josh, and dont think double teaming Shelden is the greatest of ideas with them shootin the 3 like they have lately

run a man switch up to a 2-1-2 when Ced and Brack are both in

1/18/2006 3:45:34 PM

anyone with tickets they are trying to get rid of last minute?

1/18/2006 3:56:00 PM

Please, I didn't look shit up,
sure you didn't.

and you are the one who is scared to bet straight up on who is better.
Wrong. I wagered you that Ced would beat Williams in 2/3 of the stats. That's a better measure of which player is better than just points alone.

Irony being irony, however, you persist in shouting how stupid you are.
How does one shout over the internet? You should look up irony as well.

"But the Wolfpack really can beat Duke this time. Here's why: (1) Experience -- Without it, forget it. Trying to win a basketball game in Cameron Indoor Stadium with lots of freshmen and sophomores in key roles is like trying to win Best Picture with Keanu Reeves as your leading man. Don't bother. N.C. State's starting lineup consists of three seniors (Tony Bethel, Cameron Bennerman, Ilian Evtimov), a junior (Engin Atsur) and a sophomore (Cedric Simmons). All but Simmons have logged enough minutes in major college basketball to be eligible for the NCAA's pension plan. Remember, when Virginia Tech had its almost-win in Durham earlier this season, the Hokies did it with four juniors and a sophomore getting most of the minutes. Same with Maryland last year. (2) Balanced Scoring -- One of the many things Coach K's defenses typically do very well is take the opponent's best scorer out of his comfort zone. Top perimeter players often are defended with one and a half men, elite posts with quick double-teams. Neither tactic is particularly necessary, or effective, against State. With four players in double figures and seven averaging between 7.9 and 12.2 points per game, the Wolfpack is one of the most balanced offensive teams in the nation. Moreover, of the seven rotation players (five starters, plus forward Andrew Brackman and guard Gavin Grant), all but Simmons and Grant are serious threats from 3-point range. (3) Good Guards -- Bethel and Atsur certainly aren't going to make anyone in Raleigh forget about Chris Corchiani and Rodney Monroe, but they're both smart, efficient, two-way players who aren't rattled by physical defense or hostile environments. Like Virginia Tech, N.C. State doesn't cough up many turnovers, and like everyone else Duke is much more vulnerable when it's not getting easy fastbreak buckets. Atsur (47.6) and Bethel (49.2) are the Wolfpack's most accurate 3-point shooters, and Atsur's assist-turnover ratio (2.32) ranks behind only Hokies guard Jamon Gordon among ACC players. (4) Defensive Matchups -- If you face Duke without one defender who's quick and/or savvy enough to stay with Redick outside, and another who's strong enough to battle Williams inside, you're probably going to end up looking like Mike Tyson against Buster Douglas: scared, confused and beaten, then crawling around searching the floor for your mouthpiece. Redick has said that Atsur, a cunning defender, gives him as much trouble as anyone in the conference. Bennerman, another likely matchup, is exactly the kind of quick, exceptional athlete who has given Redick problems at times, even this season. Simmons, a 6-9, 233-pound center who's second in the ACC (to Williams) in blocked shots, is exactly the kind of post presence who can contain Williams, who's most productive when he overpowers his foes. (5) Princeton Principles -- First, my apologies to N.C. State coach Herb Sendek. He recently reacted to this phrase the way many of us would react to, say, root canal, tax audit or Duran Duran reunion. Furthermore, the Pack hasn't leaned on its Princeton principles nearly as often this season as in recent years."
