Pack/Castrated Turkeys Game Thread

It’s the 5 seed (against BC Thursday night) or the 7 seed (Wake). Sadly, seeds 4 and 6 are now out of reach.

But going over .500 in league play has always been the highest and best realistic goal for this team. It would be a major accomplishment, and earn MG my “vote” for ACC Coach of the Year. So a win makes this season an unqualified success.

Unlike Wesnesday, I don’t feel especially good going into this game. VPI is playing much better, though their record doesn’t show it. That’s a dangerous combination for a fired up team looking to play spoiler. We shall see. Remember, I’m not a great prognosticator.

    If you think about it, an NCAA tournament caliber team *should* beat VT away, BC, and UVA at least one out of two. All these scenarios have been super fun to read but if they don’t win tonight, the party is over for NCAA hopes, short of winning the ACC tournament.

    VT will be very tough to beat today. They’ve lost a ton of games by a possession or two. This one will have to be earned if we want any chance of remaining on the bubble. A loss and it is curtains.

    We may get in if we beat VT, then Beat UVA then beat a blue team.

    I know its cliche, but “survive and advance” started last game and continues today. Its our tournament to make the tournament…. GO PACK!

    Ok, we’ve turned it over enough – time to play.

  16. BassPacker 03/04/2012 at 6:41 PM #

    Pack doesn’t look fired up to play this game. Not much energy so far.

  17. Wulfpack 03/04/2012 at 6:42 PM #

    UVA topped MD in OT. We look like crap.

  20. BassPacker 03/04/2012 at 6:43 PM #

    Foul trouble already….again. Just crazy….. they bully in box on offense..we get the foul.

  21. El Lobo Loco! 03/04/2012 at 6:43 PM #

    what a pity, not even in NC is there a local game 🙁
    I guess the Duke-Carolina conference is the only one that matters

  22. ADVENTUROO 03/04/2012 at 6:43 PM #

    Calvin fell in practice a week ago and missed the next day. Very painful according to Coach G.

    Raines is abusing us inside.

    I just got home. What were those two charge calls? The guys on the radio were pretty chocked at the calls.
