48-19 "run" to end the game for ClemsonYep.[Edited on January 25, 2011 at 8:56 PM. Reason : ^^13 points in a first half vs 16 in a second, which is worse?]

Hey fuck some of you peopleThe guy won us a fucking National Championship and when Lee Fowler had his abortion of a coaching search and struck out on all accounts, Lowe stepped in to try and help because he loves this schoolI agree he should not be our basketball coach but you shitbags calling him a piece of shit and dumbass and all that can stick your head in an ovenhave some fucking respect and class

I haven't said it before, but I think this needs to be Sid's last year. This game and the Miami game prove it. When your team loses huge leads twice in a row, that's inexcusable. Leslie has consistently made poor decisions, playing from a place of impulse and not using his head. A coach should be able to work on that. I will give him one benefit in that we actually had movement off the ball in the first half, and in almost every other game this year we have stood around and played some weird NBA style isolation shit.I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the mistakes are mounting up. When you are down by ten with two minutes left, you don't let them run 30 seconds of clock. You have to foul and slow it down. There is too much talent that isn't being used properly, and while I like him a lot, he's just not getting the job done. At the end of the day, it's about results.

not with Yow steering the ship

1/25/2011 8:57:51 PM
No energy, no coaching, and no heart. Hard to watch.
I used to be a huge fan and supporter. I haven't watched a game all year. Why should I? This shit is pathetic and inexcusable. At least in the Les Robinson years we had inferior athletes. Something has to change.
1/25/2011 8:58:20 PM
get him out before ryan harrow and the other freshmen regresses much like every other player he has coached. [Edited on January 25, 2011 at 8:59 PM. Reason : x]

Another historic night for an opponent
1/25/2011 8:58:38 PM
didn't we have 7 assists on our 1st 9 shots or something like that? we finished w/ 11 assists for the game...come on guys...play for 40 fucking minutes one damn time.

I really wanted for Sid to do well, I was going to hold my comments till the end of the season but screw this garbage. It is painfully obvious he is and will never be the guy and the quicker we know this dark era is over the better. It hurts to boot an alum that gets "it" but he just does not have the right stuff to lead a group of players. I hope Debbie Yow is looking hard and has a good game plan to right this ship that has been off course for decades, because this hire will define her time here.
1/25/2011 8:59:16 PM
Final score?
1/25/2011 8:59:24 PM
Lol I don't think anyone knows because we changed the shit
1/25/2011 8:59:45 PM
48-19....damn.I may be wrong, but did Lowe even call a timeout when Clemson went on their run in the second half? We called one when Clemson went up by 11 or something...but the game was over then. I question the substitution patterns, not fouling at the end. The players looked like they had given up, apparently the coaches did too. I usually don't criticize the players...but damn, Leslie looked awful. He took some terrible shots and he stayed in far too long. If Leslie is still sick (wasn't he sick in the Miami game?) then maybe he shouldn't be playing...he certainly was not helping anything.I was impressed with Javi though...that's about the only positive I could take from this. He wasn't great but he filled his role well.That game was some typical NC State shit. [Edited on January 25, 2011 at 9:03 PM. Reason : ]

this needs to be posted again:in the last 26 minutes of the game, we only played 6 minutes
1/25/2011 9:00:06 PM
any win = upset from here on out
1/25/2011 9:00:07 PM

i've always been a lowe supporter and always will be a fan of his and thankful for the effort he has given...but this is just inexcusable...it's time for lowe to think about resigning at the end of the year, especially if we keep playing like this.here's to hoping we finished 12-4 lol[Edited on January 25, 2011 at 9:01 PM.

don't worry everyone... we show we can make an ACC title run!
1/25/2011 9:02:49 PM
I'd love to see sidney as the next assistant coach, but he just doesn't have what it takes to manage our talent. I think he knows that now too. I mean who can endure that and not recognize what it means for his future?
1/25/2011 9:02:54 PM
he called the timeouts pretty much as he should have, but it didn't do anything
1/25/2011 9:03:12 PM
Yeah I respect and appreciate lowe for everything he has done for this university, but I hope that he calls his buddies in the NBA and gets an assistant job lined up soon.
1/25/2011 9:03:13 PM
calm down people, this was a road game in the ACC
1/25/2011 9:03:31 PM
keep him on as a recruiter
1/25/2011 9:04:01 PM
"You've got to have heart. Miles and miles of heart." -Coach Jimmy McGinty I say put the male cheerleaders out there. Anyone who wants to play to win would be an improvement. Those guys hung their hats before Clemson even took the lead. It's not like we have a famous quote about quitting associated with our basketball team.^^The ACC blows [Edited on January 25, 2011 at 9:04 PM. Reason : .]
1/25/2011 9:04:15 PM
^^^^^^I agree. I think Lowe would be a great asst coach (maybe a HC one day). He's a hell of a recruiter, but apparently he's just not a good head coach.[Edited on January 25, 2011 at 9:04 PM. Reason : ]

ok, our scoring droughts, when added together, lasted for 20 of the last 26 minutes. better?
1/25/2011 9:05:38 PM
Oh, and I HATE that we don't foul with 1:30 left. I know we're pissed and dissapointed we lost a huge lead, but come on! It was a 1 and 1 situation too. That could be a free possession. The problem isn't that the team gave up. It's that Sid gave up and his energy translated. He's a nice person, but Julius Hodge needs to be our next coach
1/25/2011 9:06:53 PM
haha, Jules as Head Coach? I had a class with that dude, he's a clown. Part of me would want to see what that would be like, but our program is in desperate need of a heavy dose of experience in the Head Coach position.
1/25/2011 9:08:51 PM
When you add together all of the times the ball wasn't going into the basket, our scoring drought was like 39.5 minutes!
1/25/2011 9:10:41 PM
Completely pathetic. I was trying to give Sid till the end of the year but this is ridiculous. Blowing a 17 point lead against Miami, then a 19 point lead against Clemson. Only NC State is capable of this level of sucking.
1/25/2011 9:11:36 PM
wouldn't mind having Hodge on staff, definitely not HC though.
1/25/2011 9:12:06 PM
I want Jules to coach my kid's upward basketball team. Not state.
1/25/2011 9:12:57 PM
Why does Leslie still make the same damn mistakes he always has? He gets the ball and thinks he's unstoppable every fucking time
