"I just cant get excited about the tournament this year. May not watch much of it. I didnt watch a single game of the acc tournament just too depressing. I did catch a few plays here and there in the background on bar televisions but thats it We just suck too bad at sports for me to invest anymore time or interest. I think they finally killed me off as a fan. This season was just brutal"

yeah, back to back ncaa tourney appearances is horrible for us. I mean, lowe was so much better. We should just bend over and let Temple beat us because being a fan is too hard.



we lost to miami and played terrible for 10 minutes and only got beat by 10. We were within 6 at one point. we aren't bad, and certainly have the ability to stun some people. how fun will it be to upset people's brackets?!

When will we be cutting down the nets?

In all seriousness I will go with a win over Temple then a loss to Indiana.

cj leslie is going to have 30+ points because of the attention given to scott wood

TBDV will have a triple double

100-101, wolfpack w

I mean, yeah, this season was a disappointment, but it's far from a low point. I'd say Lowe seasons 2 and 5 were low points. Our biggest problem this year was inability to finish close games. Combined with the Brown injury, we left at least 5 wins on the table. That would have made the difference between our current 8 seed and probably a 4 seed. I'd save the doom and gloom for next year. Gottfried is really going to have show his coaching chops to avoid a real stinker of a season.

3/18/2013 11:36:28 AM

according to kenpom, temple is the lowest rated team to receive an at-large

/game

3/18/2013 11:54:38 AM

Damn, they were in a LOT of 1 point games and all in a row....and a lot of close games in general. Let's not make it close so I don't have to worry. Also, I will be at Georgetown Friday for the games. Do you think the girl and I should drive to philly watch our game somewhere then go to her game or just watch em both in Georgetown and see what happens so to plan something Sunday? thanks for the life advice.

Common opponents:
vs Duke L 90-67 neutral
@ Massachusetts W 83-82
vs Massachusetts L 79-74 neutral

I"m sure everyone remembers our record vs Duke, and we beat Mass by 20 on a neutral court

3/18/2013 6:13:08 PM

Lunardi has us losing this game

3/18/2013 6:34:26 PM

Well if my bracket's getting busted, the home team's gonna do it.

3/18/2013 6:58:12 PM

No way in hell we are losing this one though.

3/18/2013 6:58:54 PM

nate silver has us with a 72% chance of winning this one

for anyone interested

that's fucking awesome man. i hope we can almost beat a good team in the tournament, too!

3/18/2013 7:05:28 PM

Always knew Nance/Kellogg would call our last game!

ahem

3/18/2013 7:18:46 PM

To me this season is the low point.

Sucking when your team sucks still sucks but Sucking when your team doesnt suck really fucking sucks.

Whats the point anymore? We will never have a better roster and unc will rarely ever be worse and we still cant sweep or finish ahead of them in the regular season. We were un competitive in the acc tournament and now we are about to get blown out in the round of 32.

And we have very little to build on we are losing practically everything with little hope for the future. I just dont see gottfried being successful. The talent is leaving and the momentum is gone. Recruiting will surely follow. We all know what's next. More losing.

3/18/2013 8:02:28 PM

So you'll stop posting?

3/18/2013 8:13:35 PM

For the most part yes im done watching a lot of state sports now that im out of raleigh and realize its never gonna happen. We cant even have one good season.

My job is busy during the day and there's so many girls here I just dont have a lot of time to waste here anymore

But every time I look at this site there's a million people saying where is face. Draws me back haha

I will still probably watch nba and nfl though because they are great.

So when we blew out UVA and vt we were not competitive. Hm. Interesting

3/18/2013 8:30:19 PM

I wouldn't wish NC State fandom on my worst enemy. It's brutal.

I'm definitely not going to pass it on to my kids. As long as they aren't Tar Heel fans, I don't care.

3/18/2013 8:42:40 PM

whoever my kids cheer for, i'm gonna make sure they're unobjective fuckes

3/18/2013 8:44:05 PM

i havent seen anybody, 'ask where is face?'

i hope your hands fell off. or you lose the ability to understand how the internet works.

youre a shitty fan and i'll extrapolate that and say you're a shitty person.





kenpom told me so

3/18/2013 8:50:30 PM

face we love you. try not to be such an attention whore.

3/18/2013 8:53:26 PM

i like our team going into a game backs against the wall. im pretty sure we will show up and compete in that game. dont know if we win though. we sucked for 1/4th the game against michigan and miamix2 and still could have won at the end. if we play a complete game, we can beat indiana.

3/18/2013 10:04:41 PM

TreeTwista10 and face discuss the game

3/18/2013 10:08:50 PM

i haven't paid attention to temple since they were coached by black don knotts

3/18/2013 10:11:15 PM

Send in the goons!

3/18/2013 10:28:49 PM

I doubt they'd win many more games than Virginia Tech if they played in the ACC.

"These middling teams deserve to be in the field, because of their records and their talent and etc., but at the same time, they are hopelessly inept in key ways, and it's going to kill them. Having them around is like inviting your boss to a party. I get why he has to be there, but really, it would be way better if he didn't come. These teams are one-and-done at best. 39. Minnesota (11) — Weakness: Tubby Smith being allowed to coach. 38. Colorado (10) — Weakness: Playing in the stupid Pac-12. It's stupid. Also, losing to a ton of bad teams, to the point that the idea of Colorado winning two games in a row is laughable. 37. Cincinnati (10) — Great at defense, tragically cannot score. Just like me, in high school. 36. Wichita State (9) — Hey, look at all those great wins! Oh wait, it just beat Creighton once in three tries, barely, at home? That's it? I have no idea how this team got a 9-seed. It will score 37 points against Pittsburgh. 35. Missouri (9) — Weakness: Frank Haith being allowed to do anything but recruit. 34. Villanova (9) — Hold on, before I commit to this, let me just make sure that none of the games are being played at Villanova, at the magical mystery dome where they can't lose. No? None? OK, thanks. 33. North Carolina State (8) — Other than having poor defense, no discipline, and a star player who pouts whenever things start to go slightly bad, the Pack should be fine."

"9. Indiana (1) — Tom Crean. Whether it's horribly timed substitutions, stubborn adherence to bad game plans, or mysteriously failing to insist on letting the offense run through Cody Zeller, Crean will absolutely cost his team a game it could win."

3/19/2013 11:19:18 AM

Checked a lot of the "expert" brackets on CBS Sports, and I'd say a majority of them are picking Temple. Kind of surprised me.

3/19/2013 11:59:50 AM

^^^^And I don't really get the "no discipline" claim. No defense, sure, but no discipline? It's not like we jack up terrible shots or have an abnormally high turnover rate.

I'd say maybe no discipline = lack of focus on defense, but I attribute that mainly to playing 3 freshman big minutes, and having CJ on the team.

3/19/2013 12:01:56 PM

Most of the experts are low on the ACC, so not surprising they wouldn't give much love to the #5 team in a conference they consider "down". Plus the not living up to expectations thing and that Wyatt kid being their conference player of the year(and their conference has more NCAA teams than the ACC team).

3/19/2013 12:02:32 PM

Thats dumb we will beat temple easy they are garbage

3/19/2013 12:06:57 PM

Just saw Lunardi's preview, he's picking the hooters

3/19/2013 12:20:14 PM

I think we all know that Khalif Wyatt is gonna go nuts against us and make like a dozen 3's.

3/19/2013 12:38:52 PM

that grantland article is nothing but slightly entertaining garbage

Let's hope the officiating stays consistent with what I am seeing in the A&T game.

They are only calling obvious fouls.

3/19/2013 8:39:34 PM

Officiating is always better in the NCAAs, except for that horrendous out of bounds called on UNCA last year, which I am pretty sure ended up being called because they didn't want to call a foul.

3/19/2013 8:41:25 PM

i'm totally okay w/ a ref deciding to call it incorrectly out of bounds instead of calling a foul.

"^^^^And I don't really get the "no discipline" claim"

this team gets technicals all the time, what are you talking about?

[Edited on March 19, 2013 at 9:26 PM. Reason : how many people actually watch us play??]

3/19/2013 9:22:07 PM

Team is fairly disciplined offensively as far as running the scheme.

Lorenzo is sloppy sometimes with the ball and Purvis and lewis take bad shots but thats about it. Cj usually runs the offense but doesn't pass enough.

Defensively we're a mess. And we bark at the refs some.

Its not undisciplined like the costner era though

3/19/2013 9:31:24 PM

we've gotten 5 technical fouls this year...3 on CJL, 1 on Warren, 1 on Wood

Warren "threw" the ball at the defender on the ground, don't really remember Wood's technical, and at least 1 of Leslie's was completely understandable, since he was getting mugged with no calls

i mean, Duke has more technicals than us this year, they must be even more undisciplined!

3/19/2013 9:35:40 PM

i dont remember exactly who we were playing on Woods tech, but i remember he made a 3 with a foul and got up talking shit. i think it was either unc or duke at home.

3/19/2013 9:38:56 PM

oh yeah i do remember that now

3/19/2013 9:44:35 PM

It was Thornton of Duke, fouled Wood on a 3 and was chirping, Wood gave a bit of an elbow I think
