Ugh, there is absolutely no way in hell NCSU will win. Jesus, at least post the spread so we can analyze that.

1/31/2007 11:07:35 PM

It's miserable to lose by 20 to these fags every year.

I wonder if they will have crazy spreads for this (< 10 points)

1/31/2007 11:08:50 PM

I just hope we play physical and don't let Hansdouche just stand in the paint like always. UNC's depth will be tough.

1/31/2007 11:13:39 PM

come on let us bask in glory against #16!!!!!! don't bring up this craaaazy shit!

Pack - 86
UNC - 83

How can you really pick State to win here? Pass me the shit you're smoking.

1/31/2007 11:29:54 PM

1/31/2007 11:30:11 PM

Agreed. I love State, but there is no way in hell we win this game. We lose by double digits easily

1/31/2007 11:35:46 PM

^^^dont be jealous you dont have a place as good as tww to post in that hellhole your college resides

1/31/2007 11:35:53 PM

rdmcalli = faggot

proof, he went to UNC

I've never met a heterosexual that went to UNC, sorry faggot.

Your arrogance is evident even on an online message board... who do you think you are, and why did you sign up to an NC State message board?



[Edited on January 31, 2007 at 11:40 PM. Reason : you fag!]

1/31/2007 11:38:03 PM

I met one



but he was gay by the time he graduated

1/31/2007 11:39:58 PM

It's ridiculous how the ref blow hansbrough. Sportscenter showing UNC clips and Hansbrough is traveling without fear.

1/31/2007 11:41:05 PM

^ like its the NBA times 2

1/31/2007 11:41:32 PM

Upsets do happen, but I think we used up ours tonight.

Regardless, GO PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Showtime Folks!!!!

2/1/2007 1:11:20 AM

^^ yes, but it may not be broadcast in HD

2/1/2007 1:38:16 AM

I can't wait to see the Fells-Ellington match up here.

shooting is a plus to Ellington

strength is a plus to Fells

I guess it depends on the play that the refs allow

Actually, when was the last time that we saw a player with the strength, speed, and size (wingspan!) that fells has on the college level?



[Edited on February 1, 2007 at 2:02 AM. Reason : qwerty]

2/1/2007 1:57:17 AM

yea fells got crossed over again today, but ive never seen ellington show any handles or jukes like were shown against fells in the UVA game and tonight the Va Tech game

2/1/2007 1:58:55 AM

LETS GO PACK! and lets get a good atmosphere!!! i'll be grilling out early at the lot across from wendys and the citgo!!! come out there.

2/1/2007 2:01:58 AM

I'm pretty sure lawson is going to crossover our entire team. It's going to be a 1 vs 5 break, he will juke, everyone on our team will jump to one side, and he will go the other way for a layup.

2/1/2007 2:04:54 AM

It's doubtful a UNC game goes without HD

at least I hope that's the case

2/1/2007 7:01:15 AM

This game will NOT be broadcast in HD. They didnt do it for a nationally televised contest between Duke and State, so I doubt they will for a regional broadcast between UNC and State, plus they have not done any HD college basketball broadcasts this season either.

Our home game against Maryland on 2/14 will be in HD on ESPN2HD though.

A UNC fan could have said this in relation to us in football... every year. There is hope, it just involves a bus wrecking on I-40.

2/1/2007 7:38:21 AM

I saw 6-7 guys blocking hansbrough all the time. You just have to stay in front of unc to have a chance which is easier said than done. seems like most of thier points come from running or amazingly drawn up roy plays that get guys wide open.

my main worry is that pressure defense they trap all game and we are turnover prone as it is. Could get ugly.

2/1/2007 8:14:56 AM

^ They did real good with VT's trap...

2/1/2007 8:30:49 AM

GOOO PACK! if we can beat a team that they couldnt then we can beat them too!

2/1/2007 8:31:53 AM

The key to the whole game is rebounding. UNC is not the best shooting team in the world, but they win easily by getting every single rebound and every single putback. Some guy just has to throw it up and their long, athletic players will clean it up.

We "beat" VT with rebounding last night and were barely able tow in. We are going to have to step it up even more on Saturday.

2/1/2007 9:29:42 AM

^^ we all know the transitive property does not work here right?

2/1/2007 9:49:25 AM

If State keeps it under a 20 point win, I'd say that's a moral victory.

2/1/2007 10:52:15 AM

hey beardawg, I know your trigger finger is getting a little itchy. Go ahead and do us a favor.

2/1/2007 10:57:06 AM

It's not a secret that State isn't very good this year. Why should I get banned for anything I've said? I haven't put down the players, coaches, or school. It's just common knowledge that it's a down year for NC State and this is a good year for UNC. If I should be banned for saying UNC is probably going to win by more than 20, go ahead.
