They are 7-11 from the three
Our perimeter defense needs work.

Calvin is killing it

43-41 Vandy

I have NEVER seen Calvin play half this hard. Yay for competent coaching!!
MrPlywood 11/19/2011 at 7:45 PM #

3 nice plays by Calvin – the pass to Vandy, the rebound and pass, then the fastbreak dunk. I like.
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:46 PM #

Calvin is a game changer. When he is corralled and coached he is awesome.

BJD,
Who has a blackberry anymore?

CJL 16 points. (It’s on ESPN3 with Derrick Wittenberg announcing.)

CJ looks great. Totally different player. Vandy can’t keep shooting that well from the outside. We can continue shooting that wel from inside the lane. I think that is a positive for us as the game goes on.

FYI – it’s worth wading through the red tape to set up WatchESPN. Better picture quality and no pop-ups.
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:48 PM #

I like thiws high post offense.
The team really flows well

Whit sucks as a commentator. Hate to say it, but very true.

Did I see Terry Gannon too?
MrPlywood 11/19/2011 at 7:51 PM #

Isn’t Gannon doing the President’s Cup?
Wufpacker 11/19/2011 at 7:51 PM #

CJL draws a lot of attention. I hope they are coaching him to look to kick it out some.
BJD95 11/19/2011 at 7:51 PM #

This is like one of those old Loyola Marymount games. Amazing offensive flow. Doesn’t sound like Gannon.
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:52 PM #

My fault it was Andy Katz
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:54 PM #

Both Raymond and Harris are in.
They are trying and not totally out matched.
BJD95 11/19/2011 at 7:54 PM #

Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist maybe??
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:55 PM #

Heck we could have used that Katz last year.
Not so much this year.
Wufpacker 11/19/2011 at 7:55 PM #

That’s high praise there, Rick….Not totally out matched. LOL
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:57 PM #

“Thatâ€™s high praise there, Rickâ€¦.Not totally out matched. LOL”
Actually it is. They are not very highly rated Fr playing against an experienced ranked team.
BJD95 11/19/2011 at 7:57 PM #

Tough way to end the half. But still a fantastic effort by the Pack.
Wufpacker 11/19/2011 at 7:57 PM #

Not a bad half. If not for Vandy shooting out their collective arse from beyond the arc, we go into the break with a lead. Not bad.
Rick 11/19/2011 at 7:58 PM #

For how they were shooting it is impressive to be this close.

Our defense is suspect but I am enjoying watching this team.
MrPlywood 11/19/2011 at 7:59 PM #

Hopefully Vandy will cool off like Princeton did. It feels like a completely different Pack team to me. I like what I see. Hopefully they can keep it up in the 2nd half.
NCStatePride 11/19/2011 at 8:00 PM #

I was nervous at first, but each time Vandy pulls away, we pull back in. At this point in time, I think it’s going to come down to the more conditioned team: an experienced Vandy or one of Gottfried’s constantly up-tempo offenses…………

What’s even more shocking is I’m not already screaming “this sucks”.
ncst8 11/19/2011 at 8:01 PM #

I am happy and impressed with the level of effort and general flow of the game. What a difference this year. Don’t know if we win, but have a feeing we will be in the game till the end.
