wow a best of 3 in the championship....isn't that a lot of bball??????????

2/15/2008 12:51:24 AM

don't worry we will only play half of the first two games, so really only one game total

2/15/2008 12:57:11 AM

hahaha, imagine if Alaska had to play Maine in the Championship with the home/away/home

"Giles said there are no plans to limit the field to teams with .500 records and better. "We don't have that rule right now but I can't anticipate taking a team with a sub-.500 record," he said. "There are too many teams out there with good records.""

hmmmm

2/27/2008 10:21:23 PM

what do we need to do to make this? win 1 more game? finish 500?

2/27/2008 10:26:53 PM

We are a lock if we win another game. Will be interesting to see if we could get in with a losing record though.

2/27/2008 10:30:46 PM

Sub-.500 teams don't deserve to be rewarded. Hell, neither do 1-game-over-.500 teams. Once the season is over, just send them back on the first bus outta Charlotte and empty the lockers.

2/27/2008 10:58:10 PM

and start working out for next year damn it

no lazy offseason

2/27/2008 10:58:34 PM

^ no Bojangle's either...............or porn

2/27/2008 11:35:15 PM

March Madness baby!!

Could we get a bid?!??!

3/16/2008 9:39:33 PM

please no. while normally I'm all for getting more games and practices in, the thought of extending our losing streak by another game just makes me feel sick. also the coaching staff shouldn't reward these guys a chance at postseason play after their performance to close out the season.

3/16/2008 9:43:56 PM

If we're not concentrating on recruiting for the FUTURE and keeping our current guys on pace to graduate on time (especially to JJ, since he would be a beast by his senior year ), then it's time to get new leadership.

3/16/2008 9:54:43 PM

where are the brackets at? i kind of want to see who is getting into this

3/16/2008 9:57:19 PM

They haven't announced them yet.

http://www.gazellegroup.com/cbi/index_main.htm

3/16/2008 10:00:18 PM

Apparently UNCW, UVA, Ohio, Houston and Bradley are in per Pack Pride. Guessing the are getting a lot of "no." They need 11 more teams to finish off the bracket. Would they be desperate enough to ask us to play in it, and will Folwer dish out $40,000 to play in it??

3/16/2008 10:09:13 PM

PLEASE GOD NO

3/16/2008 10:10:12 PM

13 of the 16 spots filled. This is going to be an awful tourney.

Virginia
Ohio
Bradley
UNC-Wilmington
UTEP
Nevada
Seton Hall
Utah
Brown
Wagner
Southern Mississippi
Richmond
Houston

3/16/2008 10:17:24 PM

^Holy shit. University of Sean Singletary ftw

3/16/2008 10:20:00 PM

so far seton hall and UVA look to be the best teams

3/16/2008 10:21:08 PM

i loved how all the fans applauded singletary at the end of their game in the tournament

not just UVA but the whole arena. same with other "curtain calls"

3/16/2008 10:21:42 PM

plz for us not to be asked into that tourny. Based on those teams, if we didn't win it all it wouldnt bode well for us.

It's really a lose-lose situation by saying yes to that tourny.

3/16/2008 10:23:36 PM

why? we could potentially defeat Houston in the final on a buzzer beating alley-oop that could be played over and over again as an advertisement for the CBI Tourney for years to come

3/16/2008 10:31:35 PM

FINAL FIELD IS SET. Guess who's not on it?

Virginia
Ohio
Bradley
UNC-Wilmington
UTEP
Nevada
Seton Hall
Utah
Brown
Wagner
Southern Mississippi
Richmond
Houston
Drexel
IUPUI
Towson

OOOOEEEY POOOOEEEY

3/16/2008 11:01:18 PM

^^^^ I'm glad we're not in it. Why give our guys the chance to embarrass us more than they have already. They should all be concentrating on school work anyways because it's pretty obvious they won't be making a living playing basketball.

3/16/2008 11:03:03 PM

lol snubbed. i know the committee has a tough job but we beat seton hall head to head in their house and won 4 games in the best conference how are we left out? they need to expand the field to 24 and give everybody a fair shot. you won't tell me you really think towson is better than ncstate.

3/16/2008 11:06:10 PM

There are probably intramural girls volleyball teams at Towson that are more deserving of being in this tournament than our basketball team.

3/16/2008 11:12:06 PM

chances are we turned this tourney bid down

3/16/2008 11:25:27 PM

i pray that we never accept a bid to this tourney.

why would you ever want to extend a season not even worthy of the nit?

3/16/2008 11:27:12 PM

May this tournament be unprofitable so that we may never hear from it again.

3/17/2008 3:11:17 AM

chances are we turned this tourney bid down

Im still wondering how the flying hell NCSU was ranked as a top 25 team this year.

I think ESPN just does that to ride Jimmy V's nuts and fundraise for his foundation. Talk about a pitty party...

3/17/2008 9:43:04 AM

It's not just ESPN, Rivals had State as a preseason #16....Without mentioning Hickson besides the last line

Quote :

"Former four-star prospect Brandon Costner led the Wolfpack in scoring (16.8 ppg) and rebounding (7.3 rpg) and was the only redshirt to make any of the three Rivals.com Freshman All-America teams. N.C. State had five players average in double figures last season and four return, including Costner and fellow big man Ben McCauley (14.4 ppg, 6.9 rpg). Sidney Lowe also inked Rivals.com's No. 19 recruiting class."
