    “Has Wood gotten a little lazy on O? Seems to stand on the wing waiting on his man to leave. fsu game may be in his head a little”

    I have been told repeatedly that is our “offense”. I find it hard to believe.

    that missed 3 by unc right before the half might be the first one that hasn’t gone in all year.

    first half – ugly

    But, we are in it. Javi is all we have at this point. UNC figured out our 3 ball is ice cold and is working smith with the double team.

    Expect more unless Wood heats up

    That almost got ugly fast. We better come out with a better gameplan for getting the ball to Tracy and contesting shots.

    Watching highlights of Fire running a fastbreak is painful.

    We’ve been a better second half team all year, if Wood gets going, Smith will dominate. Wood or Horner has got to step up.

    Well, holes didn’t come in fresh and angry, which means they either suck, or they’re on the verge of quitting on the whole season. With the strong finish to the first half, if we come out ready to go, we could step on their throats and put them away (and not just for the game)

    This is a very winnable game for us. We’ve had some solid runs, and at times were very scrappy going after the ball. We are just not recognizing that Carolina is a faster team almost to a player and their speed is killing us.

  8. LRM 01/26/2010 at 9:48 PM #

    Why is it that when Carolina plays us their secondary breaks look like last year’s instead of this year’s?

    NANO WHAT?!

    “The team that sucks least wins”.. Yep!

    I initially liked that commercial. I’ve come to hate it. Lame…..I know, I’m in the minority

    Even on number of FGs and 3s made. Difference – FTs – Holes have 7 more FT shots than the Pack. Rs are hurting us (18 v 14) with only one OR. Scoring: Smith 10, Javi 10, DeGand 7, three with 2.

    please let the outside/3 balls start falling

  14. packplantpath 01/26/2010 at 9:50 PM #

    BTW, when was the last NCSU team that could rebound worth crap?

  15. BassPacker 01/26/2010 at 9:51 PM #

    Wow, we are shooting 50% and still down.

  16. Texpack 01/26/2010 at 9:52 PM #

    Pretty mediocre half. If we can get the ball going back through Tracy we will have a shot.

  17. packplantpath 01/26/2010 at 9:52 PM #

    Well, when they shoot 30% but get 60% second tries, it hurts.

  18. Alpha Wolf 01/26/2010 at 9:53 PM #

    Tim Brandt loves him some UNC. If you just listened to him, you would think that Carolina was up 23. And that awesome Carolina defense you keep raving about, Tim? They allowed fifty percent from the field in the first half.

    Thank you, Mr. Wood.

  20. ncstatered21 01/26/2010 at 9:54 PM #

    well i hope wood just started off the half on the right foot.

  21. packplantpath 01/26/2010 at 9:55 PM #

    was that the same play with wood used coming out of the half of the duke game?

  22. Rick 01/26/2010 at 9:55 PM #

    Horenr quit looking at the ref and box out

  23. theghost 01/26/2010 at 9:55 PM #

    like that.

  24. MrPlywood 01/26/2010 at 9:55 PM #

    THOUGHT he went over the back?

  25. Alpha Wolf 01/26/2010 at 9:56 PM #

    Gonzales fouled for three free throws. C’mon Javi!
