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.

    I just rewound that call. It was awful. Wood has his hand on the guy but he did not push him. Geez. The revenge of HEss.

    ^ It’s the Mike Archer defensive scheme.

    Jig,
    Both. We are slow and I hope Gott fixes the other part.

    We are playing awful, the refs are literally calling everything against us and we are winning.
    There is no consistency on both ends of the court.

    Not going to have any bigs left to play if they keep calling it like this.

    How many more players can pick up a third foul in the minute?

  10. BJD95 03/04/2012 at 7:22 PM #

    Very poor goaltend call. Clearly a foot short.

    5-on-8 Get used to it because I don’t see it changing when the games are important…ever.

    That was one of the worst goaltending calls I’ve ever seen. That ball was at least a foot short.

    This game is a perfect example of why the ACC sucks and no one wants to watch it. You have a team that wants to play up tempo offense and the refs blow their whistle constantly to slow the game down.

    The refs are too prominent in the ACC

    If we don’t open the bench up just a tad (Harris etc.) we will be screwed in the tourney. They will pass out on the floor.

    Hubert Davis really is turning out to be quite a good announcer.

    Love CJ Williams

    No one wants to watch stuttering play and Fts.

    CJ!

    great play by cjw. great

  20. Tau837 03/04/2012 at 7:25 PM #

    Awesome end to the half. Horrible execution on the final possession by VT.

  21. WolftownVA81 03/04/2012 at 7:25 PM #

    Good steal and two for Williams. Nice momentum builder going into the half.

    Just wanted to repeat that.

    Yet we are still up 9 thanks to a nice closing flurry. This team is showing some mental toughness and fortitude today. Great to see!

    Love the end of that half.
