ACCT Friday – Evening Session Thread

I am far too anxious to give in-depth, useful analysis. Simply put, we have to stop either Singletary or Reynolds, or hope that one of them is cold. Plus, State really needs some offense from Grant, Fells, and/or Horner. We can’t rely solely on 3 players every night – especially when you can expect the Cavs to get very physical with Costner. Can we do it? Yes. Will we do it? Let’s see, shall we? NC State’s 2007 local cable HD debut is moments away…

Also, on a lesser (but still important front), you need to lose your innate affinity for the underdog at 9:30. If Wake goes farther than us in the ACCT, it wouldn’t surprise me if they snatched away the Pack’s NIT bid. May Harvey Hale remember that he’s Harvey Hale tonight.

    Don’t have a good feeling. (1) we aren’t shooting good, fg’s or ft’s and (2) UVa is having multiple guys making shots. Not a good combination.

    I read somewhere that during our 6 wins we shot around 60% and in our 11 loses we shot around 43%. It’s looking like a 43% night.

    WTH is Nieman doing guarding SS??

    They need to clam down and start slowing down the game again.

  5. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:11 PM #

    make that 36%

  6. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:13 PM #

    It looks like we don’t have the legs to take long shots. We’re front ending everything.

  7. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:15 PM #

    Halftime 26-40.

    Honestly I don’t think we’d be able to beat them even if we had fresh legs. We just don’t have anyone who can stop Singletary/Reynolds.

    WE R FLAT.

    Where is the pick and roll?

    I repeat, we will win the ACCT

    ^I concure…just not this year.

  11. westwolf 03/09/2007 at 8:24 PM #

    We simply have NO quickness on our roster. There’s not one player that can keep up with SS, so as a result, he doesn’t even need to be hot…he’s just taking 10 foot pull up jumpers. You simply can’t guard an all-ACC caliber guard with a slow walk-on…impossible.

    The first 5 minutes of the 2nd half will determine our fate.

    (Help is on the way next year.)

    We’d be in this game right now if we took care of the defensive glass. We cannot be giving SS and JR multiple looks per trip. They are too good and we are too gassed.

    Suck it up for the board will make it easier overall.

    As I just told my UVa fan friend, UVa is a garbage institution full of rascist pricks. They’ve never won anything and they never will. Even though they win tonight. Ugh.

  14. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:33 PM #

    Can we please not leave that guy wide open anymore??

  15. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:34 PM #

    I really, really, REALLY hope that our guys get hot in the second half like they did last night.

  16. Wolf in Mavs Clothing 03/09/2007 at 8:36 PM #

    Here we go!

  17. tvopack 03/09/2007 at 8:36 PM #

    3rd on Cain

  18. BJD95 03/09/2007 at 8:37 PM #

    I can never remember us getting more calls in a game than this. Ever. 3 UVA starters including Reynolds have 3 fouls.

    Don’t look now, only down 7 and shooting 1 after the break.

  19. chilly water 03/09/2007 at 8:38 PM #

    This is Destiny guys, state is winning that tournament

  20. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:39 PM #

    This has been a great start to the second half.

    WOW Big Ben!!!

  21. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:40 PM #

    Defensive rebounding has really helped considering UVa has missed a lot this half.

  22. BJD95 03/09/2007 at 8:42 PM #

    Dumb, unforced Grant turnover followed by wide open Cavs 3. Right on cue. Damn it.

  23. tvp 03/09/2007 at 8:44 PM #

    Grant. Ugh.

    Could have cut it down to a one possession game – given that we were down 14 at the half, cutting it down to 2 or 1 only 4 minutes in would have been incredible.

  24. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/09/2007 at 8:44 PM #

    What is it about coming off your man and putting a hand in his face that we just can’t understand??

  25. BJD95 03/09/2007 at 8:45 PM #

    Missed dunk, dumb TO, ball game.
