Jesus, look at the stats of their three guards.... 52%, 52%, and 47% for 3ptrs, and they've all taken at least 20 3pt shots this year.
11/20/2010 9:41:16 AM
They havent faced a defense like ours
11/20/2010 9:43:27 AM
Is it me or is the bitching about our defense a little bit retarded right now? The last 2 games I actually came away thinking we had a few lapses but we're actually playing better D now than we have in like 5 years. We're forcing bad shots, causing deflections, and weathering the runs of the other team. I specifically remember one possession last night for GM where we forced 3 terrible shots and stripped a ball in the lane but the shots were so bad that the long rebounds went straight to GM and the strip was so powerful brown couldn't control it. GM still scored there but thats not bad D, just bad luck. We're young and we're going to have lapses, now isn't the time to bitch about it. On another note, Javi and Howell need to stop reaching in and committing retarded fouls 50 feet from the basket. Although....it got Harrow in the game quicker so whatever.
11/20/2010 11:43:38 AM
^ I had to listen to the game since I was on the road, but it sounded like we were really harassing them at points...given their comebacks, I'd say it sounds like we need some tuning up, but good overall.
11/20/2010 11:48:43 AM
a few individual mental mistakes not covering your man, but most of the time our team defense has been pretty good
11/20/2010 1:18:04 PM
Agree with the last 2 posts. and just for this thread....FUCK UNC 4-0 BITCH
11/20/2010 3:51:27 PM
Yeah team defense looks good. In fact we are playing team ball better than we ever have under Sid which is cool considering we play 3 new guys a ton. The area that needs work, might be exposed against GTown is boxing out and rebounding.Jesus a win over them tomorrow would be such a perfect week.
11/20/2010 4:28:46 PM
It hasn't been released yet, but I'll link it anyway. Here is the footage/highlights from the game last night against George Masonhttp://PackInsider.blip.tv/[Edited on November 20, 2010 at 6:27 PM. Reason : .]

Harrow looks like a child
11/20/2010 7:02:41 PM
he is a child.
11/20/2010 7:20:47 PM
any new news on Tracy? still looking like he's gonna miss a couple weeks?
11/20/2010 7:23:33 PM
I HEARD 3 weeks... but I'm not 100% on that..Also, I'm still pissed off at Chris Wright for being a pussy and going to a mid-major conference to play instead of the ACC.[Edited on November 20, 2010 at 7:51 PM. Reason : yes]
11/20/2010 7:51:17 PM
Could the Gods bless us with 3 wins in 3 days in a non-ACC tournament situation?
11/20/2010 8:13:56 PM
Win tomorrow and this would cap off an amazing sports weekend for the Pack.
11/20/2010 11:24:06 PM
Rivers also plays Monday night against the Broncos.

Don't talk shit on any of the freshmen, they are doing big things and will get us to the NCAA tourney.
11/21/2010 12:16:15 AM
no one's talking shit about the freshman. slow your roll.
11/21/2010 1:49:52 AM
Bring on the dancing L for tonight I'm thinking a 5 point loss is in store.[Edited on November 21, 2010 at 9:13 AM. Reason : asdf]
11/21/2010 9:13:17 AM
With Mathews listed as doubtful, should I start Tolbert (vs Denver) over McCoy (vs Giants) in the flex slot?Also, should I play Malcolm Floyd (vs Denver) over Larry Fitzgerald (@KC) now that Floyd looks to be back, Nannee is still doubtful and Gates questionable?
11/21/2010 9:42:19 AM
Does Gates have any eligibility left? Maybe he can take Tracy's spot... or Jimmy Graham?
11/21/2010 9:45:52 AM
hahaha nice.
11/21/2010 9:55:54 AM
Ha flipping between threads right after getting up and with a game on doesn't always work out.
11/21/2010 10:25:00 AM
Gtown 5 point favorites with Vegas, but don't we kinda have the 'home court' advantage?
11/21/2010 10:27:15 AM
Not in a classical sense, even if the crowd is more NC State than anything. Also, they have a big experience advantage, especially with Smith out.And for what it's worth Tracy would make a hell of a TE.[Edited on November 21, 2010 at 10:29 AM. Reason : .]
11/21/2010 10:29:11 AM
Heading down to Charleston now.Last time I traveled far to go to a game (GT last season), we ended up losing on the last possession. Here's to hoping we do better this time.
11/21/2010 11:09:01 AM
I thnk most of you are giving Georgetown too much credit. Pack by 10.
11/21/2010 11:35:38 AM
^ What are you basing that on? They've already beaten 3 teams that were projected to be at the top of their conferences this year (ODU, Wofford, and Coastal Carolina). And we're missing a key player.
11/21/2010 11:46:25 AM
yeah but we added 3 key playersi think this is going to be a good game, don't really care to make a prediction...
11/21/2010 11:56:34 AM
if we win w/o tracy shit will be on fire
11/21/2010 12:23:59 PM
They have 3 tournament-tested seniors, as good a senior guard as you can get, and they shoot 3s well. They should rightly be favored.Count ourselves lucky to win this
11/21/2010 12:26:17 PM
^^^clearly projections matter.[Edited on November 21, 2010 at 12:37 PM. Reason : ]
11/21/2010 12:29:06 PM
hoping to see some home cookin' calls from the refs here today. we'll need them I feel like.The Painter/TBDV combo hasnt been a liability yet, but they will have some mismatch issues with Gtown's athletic bigs. With Tracy playing I wouldnt be so worried... oh well
11/21/2010 12:39:55 PM
Let us not forget how Sidney Lowe got CJ Leslie in a State uniform. He took CJ into the RBC, pointed to one side of the rafters, and said, "You see that banner? Old Spice Champions, nigga." Then pointed to the other side of the rafters and said, "You see that banner? John Wilkes Booth Champions, nigga." Then he said, "You like this red blazer? Here, try it on."
11/21/2010 1:32:29 PM
projections? what are you talking about?have you seen zo brown playing on this team? he is the missing piece we have needed for so long. harrow is already contributing, sure he has work to do, but when they are on, it's a beautiful thing. Leslie is a damn good player to have in the frontcourt in Tracy's absence, he'll adjust and be just fine.we lose tracy, it hurts, but it certainly isn't the death knell that it would have been last year.
11/21/2010 1:35:19 PM
^ I think he may have been referring to my post.
11/21/2010 1:42:22 PM
ah, right. sorry, i usually expect asshattery.carry on.
11/21/2010 1:51:15 PM
speaking of projections ken pomeroy has Georgetown by 3 with us having a 38% chance of winning.
11/21/2010 2:42:25 PM
11/21/2010 4:10:35 PM
^i don't get it.
11/21/2010 4:16:26 PM
John Wilkes Booth champs are gonna end this thing.
11/21/2010 4:18:40 PM
So I guess Georgetown is Lincoln?
11/21/2010 4:31:59 PM
NC State is going to be shooting a Bullet out of their gunzz into Georgetown
11/21/2010 5:15:48 PM
Just got to our seats. Can't wait to heckle g-town...until we go down by 20
11/21/2010 5:45:33 PM
I thought this was at 6:00 for some reason... damn it
11/21/2010 5:50:02 PM
George mason band director went with an all white pimp suit and cane tonight. Hopefully they have shown him on tv tonight.
11/21/2010 6:27:48 PM
It boggles my mind that they can get HD equipment to Puerto Rico but can't find a truck anywhere on the east coast and drive it to Charleston...
11/21/2010 6:36:10 PM
Anyone with a justin.tv feed? im out of town and really want to watch this...
11/21/2010 6:57:48 PM
I hope we make a game of it tonight because I would hate to end such a great weekend on a sour note. But I can definitely see potential for taking a beating tonight.
11/21/2010 7:00:30 PM
GO PACK!Gonna need Painter, Howell, and Leslie to step up big time
