1/10/2008 6:16:29 PM

NCSU - 86
UNC - 75


costner gets 10
mccauley gets 15
grant gets 20
hickson gets 30
johnson gets 5
javi gets 4
fergie gets 2


hansblow gets 14
the rest get 61

1/10/2008 6:44:14 PM

I'm really anxious to see the JJ-Tyler match-up along with the McCauley-Tyler rematch. Don't know how JJ will react to a "dominant" big man.

1/10/2008 6:51:04 PM

Yep, Atsur played all three games against UNC last year.

The first game (in Raleigh) was relatively late--Atsur had come back just three games or so before it.

1/10/2008 6:53:21 PM

tyler will piss his pants, flagrantly foul costner and get rejected by hickson himself all in the same play.

and then on the inbounds of our next possesion after we sink 2 free throws, they will inbound it to hickson who will proceed to throw down the dunk of his life over hansblow himself all while getting fouled and 1

"I wasn't able to watch the game @ UNC but he absolutely played the other two... you don't remember his slip pass for McCauley's dunk?"

you're right, he played all three

i was thinking the carolina game was the last he missed, maybe that was the duke game

1/10/2008 7:25:09 PM

he sure as shit did not play in the regular season duke game where we got absolutely waxed.

1/10/2008 7:47:05 PM

im worried that JJ is going to try to block anything/everything tyler throws up there, in turn either "fouling" hansblow or being faked out b/c tyler's been trained to not fall for that... I'm not sure JJ is going to be mature enough to match up on hansblow yet

1/10/2008 8:09:56 PM

hopefully he'll step up to the challenge like Ced did versus She-Will, and hopefully the refs will be moderately fair

1/10/2008 8:15:55 PM

Maybe JJ elbows him in the face and breaks his nose.

1/10/2008 8:16:03 PM

he'd be a legend.

1/10/2008 8:19:21 PM

nah unless it's in the final minutes, Hansbrough would just go to the locker room for a few minutes get a tampon plugged up his nose and break out his old mask. he'd come back in and Jimmy Dykes would have an orgasm while commenting on how Tyler's will to come back and his will is unmatched in college basketball.

1/10/2008 8:19:47 PM

look at the bright side guys

win or lose, we dont have to hear dick vitale

1/10/2008 8:25:05 PM

State 72-71

Ferguson hits a half court 3 to win at the buzzer. Little moppy headed statues are built all over campus.

^And Ford Taurus sales go thru the roof!

1/10/2008 8:50:54 PM

The one plus I see here is that it's the first time (well, not counting Michigan State) where our size could really be useful instead of a hindrance. Our bigs are pretty athletic and match up favorably against Hansbrough/Thompson/Stepheson.

That being said, our now-depleted backcourt is going to have to play their asses off to go up against Lawson and Ellington. If Fells can't play, that's really going to hurt on both sides of the ball...hope his ankle gets better real quick.

If Fells is still out, then we might see a Javi/Grant/Costner/Hickson/McCauley lineup for much of the game, which would be interesting.

1/10/2008 9:03:53 PM

Just a little under 7 minutes in the Arkansas vs. Auburn game, Jimmy Dykes got in his slurping of Tyler Hansbrough.

1/10/2008 9:16:23 PM

anybody have the pic of last years game at the RBC, where the UNC guy was on his cell phone and he couldn't hear b/c of the group of State fans behind him?

1/10/2008 9:20:04 PM

1/10/2008 9:25:04 PM

We need to get buck wild and become the LSU fans of college basketball. Those fools dress up in costumes and other outrageous outfits. It's all part of the atmosphere and distracts the opposing players. They're all like wtf, did I just see Batman in the stands?

1/10/2008 9:30:12 PM

^You know what's distracting and annoying?? An HBCU step team

It's important to remember that we are going to be playing guys that don't think twice about sucking another mans cock...

/message_topic.aspx?topic=463577

we should be able to win.

If not, I say Sid goes into the UNC locker room and lets them have their way with him.

enjoy!


P.S. Jimmy Dykes, Sidney Lowe beat UNC more than just once as a player. Do some research next time. Hell he beat them twice in his senior year alone (once at home and once in the tournament).

still the best ball game I've ever experienced in person, watchin that video just brings it all back

1/10/2008 10:39:55 PM

it just comes down to this, mcnasty goes crazy on pussy t, and jj kicks t in the face after a sick dunk-which of course breaks his nose.

1/10/2008 11:01:39 PM

Dear Costner, Grant, et. al. Watch this and please replicate. You have a performance like this and people will still be talking about it 10 years from now and it will be on YouTube or whatever is popular at the time.

Another great moment in the State/Carolina rivalry. The CC Harrison game in the Dean Dome.

1/11/2008 12:07:00 AM

Oooo Oooo! They're gonna show how to stop Tyler Hansbrough on Gamenight!! How many times will they say "will"???

1/11/2008 12:42:03 AM

HE HAS GREAT EYES!

Is that why he never closes them or blinks?

1/11/2008 1:05:29 AM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y1kQwV-c1c Wow he was 7-7 and had 24 points in the first half! where are the 2nd half highlights????????

1/11/2008 1:17:20 AM

We should try this line-up if Fells is out:
C-Hickson
PF-McCauley
SF-Costner
SG-Grant
PG-Johnson/Javi

Maximize that talent on the floor.

Plus I think Hickson by himself will be in foul trouble quick against Hansblow unless Lowe really works on him this week.

1/11/2008 2:50:39 AM

^ pure genius.

1/11/2008 3:10:46 AM

hopefully that lineup could rebound well enough to keep them out of the break and blitz the shit out of screens.


[Edited on January 11, 2008 at 3:23 AM. Reason : and hopefully simon harris can fall on lawson's legs]

1/11/2008 3:14:47 AM

we cant run with them, our only hope is to slow the game dowm and give it to big ben, JJ, or costner and run our offense from the point every time....we cat run with them, they are too deep and too atheletic

I think we may be better off with McCauley matched up with Hansbrough and Hickson providing weak side help. I expect them to play a lot of point zone against us, so we need to do well working the ball around for gaps in the zone and open shots.
