Degand needs to spend 3 or 4 hours a day shooting free throws and I will not accept Sidney Lowe's credibility until he forces him to do so

11/25/2007 9:16:05 PM

You gotta believe it's mental. No guard can shoot that badly.

haha, I remember that guy.

You would think that after shooting like 40% from the FT line for 3 years he would realize that throwing the ball over your head isn't a good idea.

11/25/2007 10:02:13 PM

remember when he jumped over Atsur's head? That was awesome.

I think they called Atsur for a foul just for being in the photograph.

i didn't believe it, but it's true. interesting.

11/25/2007 10:23:18 PM

NO hasn't played anyone yet (except us, if we count). RPI at this point in the season is completely meaningless.

11/25/2007 10:24:17 PM

obviously. but it is an interesting statistical oddity.

11/25/2007 10:29:47 PM

We don't look like we are prepared to tie our own shoes, let alone play a basketball game against a smart, well-coached team.

11/28/2007 8:05:23 PM

in yalls defense, they really are making just about everything they throw up

11/28/2007 8:07:46 PM

I am sick of this point-guard looking back at the coach bullshit....it looks so bush league i cant even fucking watch when its happening. Either have an idea at the tv timeout what you are gonna do, or have 2-3 options for the pointguard to decide on, and let him rip. its not like we are fucking running complicated plays out there, its either a high screen offense, a motion offense, or a simple flex offense. Fucking christ if degand gets close to the three point line again and looks all the way back across halfcourt for a play from the coaches i am going to throw the channel changer right through the fucking tv!!!!!!!!!

11/28/2007 8:08:13 PM

its black and white how much better MSU is coached than us.

THier offense, constant uptempo movements, and everyone moving.

Our offense, four stand outside the three line, and pass into hickson and the 5 mich state players standing around him. Classic shit basketball.

11/28/2007 8:09:16 PM

^exactly

11/28/2007 8:13:47 PM

Sidney is still learning how to coach the college game. He is basically coaching on the fly. Plays are much more important at the college level than the NBA where he was for years.

11/28/2007 8:15:14 PM

I attribute most of it to Costner being a lazy piece of shit rather than Sidney's coach. it's pretty clear he "coached" them to the ACC Championship last year. But Costner was supposed to be the anchor of this team and he has been one of the worst players

11/28/2007 8:15:33 PM

that first half was embarrassing, almost as bad as that st john's game a couple years back

hickson apparently thinks he is already in the nba, how many travels has he had in the last 3 games. also, does he not know how to pass out of/score on a double team?? anytime he got double it looked like he was about to shit his pants

Completely wrong. Sidney coaching in the acc tournament has approximately DICK to do with him coaching in this game.

Sticking with hickson in the middle for most of the half was a huge mistake. MSU dared him to pass out of the post and he couldn't do that.

Costner stepped it up at the end of the half when we took hickson out and ran the offense through him. Costner is absolutely necessary to make this respectable.

hey remember that time an ncsu team boxed out??


yea, neither do i

11/28/2007 8:22:08 PM

^^Costner looks ATROCIOUS. all his points have come from the line...he is putting up some insanely awful looking shots, meanwhile him and everyone else is getting run by on the defensive end. it's a terrible performance from everyone.

i didn't buy the "tired" thing earlier but i really think they are

11/28/2007 8:26:52 PM

guys its a combo of shit. Like a massive shit fart that exploded all over a ruby red block S. Players, coaching, you name it.

11/28/2007 8:29:40 PM

this is not totoally coaching ...

i appears as though this is a pretty even combo..


you look at duke....you do NOT play for coach K if you dont hustle...you dont...you sit the bench...these a$$hoes have no heart at all..thats Lowe's fault...totally and completely..

11/28/2007 8:32:48 PM

no fire, no passion, lack of effort, no defense, no rebounding, poor running the offense, turnovers, fundamentals


looks like everything is a problem, can you say overrated?

11/28/2007 8:34:18 PM

dude we arent even FUCKING RANKED. We are playing on our little shit kiddie slide smack in the middle of Emerald Pointe. How can we be overrated.

11/28/2007 8:37:16 PM

#24 dawg, #20 to start the season and chosen to finish in 3rd place in acc

id say we're overrated at this point

[Edited on November 28, 2007 at 8:40 PM. Reason : yeah]

11/28/2007 8:40:23 PM

pfffft. what a joke. you're right though, i forgot.

rankings are the only way a team can be 'rated'

we're ranked 24 in one poll, 26 or 27 in the other

you're dumb

11/28/2007 8:41:50 PM

this is complete bullshit. I don't think I can support a team that doesn't care and doesn't hustle

11/28/2007 8:44:29 PM

f youz ernie. that doesnt mean shit and you know it.

have some herb and take a break...

11/28/2007 8:45:36 PM

say what you will about sendek's offense being boring but at least they didnt just fucking stand around

it is kinda interesting that it seems state was thrown under the bus in this challenge. duke and unc don't have to play ranked teams.

11/28/2007 8:58:33 PM

^umm wisconsin is ranked and OSU was supposed to be the best team in the big 10 this year weren't they?


how many times has msu got a transition basket b/c we were lazy getting back on d??

11/28/2007 9:02:29 PM

my bad on wisconsin. either way, mich. state is the best team in the big 10 right now. either way. this is an atrocious game for us.

Let's be honest -- Sidney Lowe is not a good defensive coach.

11/28/2007 9:06:13 PM

jesus, what's it going to be like when we play duke and carolina

holy shit, that'll be a sight

11/28/2007 9:07:15 PM

hickson and javi should have a travel-off to see who can take too many steps the most

11/28/2007 9:08:16 PM

lol. so what's the walk count now?

11/28/2007 9:09:36 PM

^^^^yeah yeah. i know. i swear i didn't see a ranking on them last night when they played duke.

Normally I would agree with you, but State threw themselves under the bus in this one. Hell, I'm not even sure they ever got on the bus to go to RDU.

11/28/2007 9:28:49 PM

Maybe we can hire Engin as an assistant or something. He seemed to be able to coach these guys.

11/28/2007 9:29:21 PM

Sidney already making excuses for the loss. Said guys were still tired from the tournament. He didn't even seem too pissed off.

11/28/2007 9:30:48 PM

somebody find the quote where lowe first got here and said we were gonna run.

11/28/2007 9:36:23 PM

^^ As long as he's pissed when talking to the team.

11/28/2007 9:38:36 PM

I don't see anyone saying I made this thread too early now.

This team sucks dick right now.

McCauley is embarrassing.

Costner should be absolutely ashamed, absolutely no effort.


We better get it going fast or we're a bubble team.

11/28/2007 9:42:49 PM

bubble team?

HA. NIT bubble maybe

11/28/2007 9:46:21 PM

so when are we firing lowe?

did i miss it? who are our prospects so far? is calipari free?





j/k. it's too early in the season.


wait: wasn't this thread made b/c rallydurham can't stomach a banked 3 pointer to beat us at the buzzard?

11/28/2007 10:58:20 PM

it was fucking university of new orleands, the game never should have been close enough for them to be in posiiton to win with a banked 3 pointer

by the same logic you can say we shouldn't have beat villanova b/c the last second foul was questionable, at best
