54th Annual ACC Men's Basketball Tournament Semifinals
#10 NC State (17-14, 5-11 Regular Season) vs. #3 Virginia Tech (21-9, 11-5 Regular Season)
DO YOU BELIEVE? I think that's the right question to ask at this point. NC State was the only lower seed to win on Friday. A good amount of basketball fans probably didn't even think we would make it past Duke, and now we have defeated 2 teams in a row that we were not able to defeat in the regular season. Now the exact opposite is about to happen. Virginia Tech was not able to defeat the Wolfpack this season. Yet again, shooting is key. NC State has only lost one game when shooting better than 50% (compared to 3 of the 5 regular season wins shooting better than 50%)... AS MARCH BASKETBALL CONTINUES, and who knows what will happen.
Virginia Tech regular season results: 11/10 Coppin St W 94-43 11/14 West Fla W 95-47 11/23 at W Michigan L 71-68 11/24 Montana W 77-56 11/26 at S Illinois L 69-64 11/29 Iowa W 69-65 12/03 at GW L 63-62 12/06 ODU W 72-55 12/10 App St W 69-37 12/17 W Forest W 63-60 12/21 at S Hall W 80-61 12/23 Campbell W 94-70 12/30 at Marshall L 59-58 01/03 Richmond W 65-53 01/06 at #5 Duke W 69-67 01/10 at UNC Greensboro W 74-51 01/13 #1 UNC W 94-88 01/17 at Florida St L 82-73 01/21 #22 Maryland W 67-64 01/23 at Miami W 92-85 01/28 at Ga Tech W 73-65 01/31 NC State L 70-59 02/03 at BC L 80-59 02/10 Virginia W 84-57 02/13 at #4 UNC W 81-80 02/18 at NC State L 81-56 02/21 BC W 79-62 02/24 Miami W 73-57 03/01 at #25 Virginia L 69-56 03/04 Clemson L 75-74
Previous Meetings: NC State 70 Virginia Tech 59 NC State 81 Virginia Tech 56
Virginia Tech Leaders: Zabian Dowdell 18.3 PPG Deron Washington 5.6 RPG Jamon Gordon 4.6 APG
Winner moves on to play the winner of Boston College vs. North Carolina
Game 10 of the ACC Tournament - Semifinals: Saturday, March 10th - 3:30pm - Tampa, Florida
TV: Raycom HD / ESPNHD
One can only hope there is even more magic in the air.

Fells gest hot finally:
82-69 win where we lead pretty much the whole way.
We matchup well with this team (finally) and we are figuring out that team defense leads to easier offensel (finally). 3/10/2007 12:12:50 AM |

i agree with the matchups, mainly at the guard positions. VT's guards arent are small and quick like UVA, making them a lot easier of a matchup for Fells, Atsur and Grant. VT is just one of those teams we match up well against.

We definitely shouldn't take for granted that we'll win this game. We're a tired team, and Va Tech is probably hungry for a chance to beat us after we HANDED THEM THEIR ASS IN UNMERCIFUL FASHION all regular season.
But, fuck the Hokies. GO STATE! GO SIDNEY LOWE!

Caulton Tudor said Atsur tweaked his hammy at the end of the game and atsur said it was starting to hurt afterwards.
Just inject some steroids into that shit and pat him on the ass 3/10/2007 2:57:15 AM |

I work with a few VT grads, we have to win today. They've been talking shit of how they are out for revenge. GO PACK!!!
Its pretty cool in the fact that all of the VT grads say that NCSU is their 2nd favorite ACC school behind VT.

I'm sure I'm not the only superstitious one, but I've got the same routine going and I will be DVR'ing the game while I'm at work and then watching it later, just like I have the past two.
We put two great halves together for Duke, had a great second half against UVA....I look for us to come out on fire, with some outside shooting and then play a really solid second half....
I mean, what the fuck is a hokie anyways? 3/10/2007 10:09:22 AM |
