Pack/Holes “House Money” Game Thread

Much less anxious today, just want the Pack to go out there and give it their best shot. Let the chips fall where they may.

As I said before the BC game, the old adage of “it’s hard to beat the same team three times” is a load of BS. Unfortunately, that works both ways. Henson is out, though…

A few interesting points of note:

* Today is Jim Valvano’s birthday. He would have been 66 years old today.

* Tomorrow is the 32nd anniversary of Black Sunday when Duke and UNC both lost in the NCAA Tournament in Reynolds Coliseum to Penn and St. John’s, respectively.

* It was in the ACC Tournament EXACTLY 25 years ago that Jim Valvano’s NC State swept through the Big Four (Duke, Wake, UNC-CH) to win the ACC Championship in Landover, Maryland. UNC was UNDEFEATED in the ACC that year and ranked #1 in the country.

    Barnes walked like Hopsborough there.

    Refs making sure Barnes gets points.

    So much for that lead.

    The one game we need Wood to be hot and he is not.

    And here come the refs… er I mean Carolina…

  6. MP 03/10/2012 at 2:58 PM #

    Barnes f’in walked his ass off

  7. Gene 03/10/2012 at 2:58 PM #

    Wood needs to be hitting shots…he’s missing stuff he’d normally make…

  8. Wufpacker 03/10/2012 at 2:58 PM #

    Knew they’d make a run. We just gotta withstand it. We’ll see how much we learned the first two times we played them.

    This is why I hate the ACC. They are calling “tendencies” now.

  10. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/10/2012 at 2:58 PM #

    No way anyone can say the Refs are consistent. Completely changing the way they are calling this game after the half. This is what I hate most about the ACC officiating across all teams.

    We can’t win with Scott Wood checked out of this game offensively.

  12. ScottieJ2000 03/10/2012 at 2:59 PM #

    Zeller pushed off to get that rebound…

  13. eas 03/10/2012 at 2:59 PM #

    Woo is forcing shots. He has been absent from this game.

  14. Gene 03/10/2012 at 2:59 PM #

    Not out of this yet…need a bucket in a big bad way…

  15. Sweet jumper 03/10/2012 at 2:59 PM #

    Come on Pack. Pull it back together. Seal the deal and win one for V on his birthday.

  16. MP 03/10/2012 at 2:59 PM #

    We should probably bring CJW back in. Maybe 3 guard lineup with Brown, AJ, Calvin, and Howell.

  17. Wufpacker 03/10/2012 at 3:00 PM #

    Agreed. We looked dazed when they went zone. We shoulda been ready for that.

  18. Gene 03/10/2012 at 3:00 PM #

    STOP SETTLING FOR JUMPERS!!!

  19. Tau837 03/10/2012 at 3:01 PM #

    Leslie taking too many jumpers.

  20. ScottieJ2000 03/10/2012 at 3:01 PM #

    HOLY CRAP! A BLOCKING FOUL!?!?!?

  21. SaccoV 03/10/2012 at 3:01 PM #

    How does a ref crew go from calling a fairly loose, and even game, to completely locking down the game? Is this more “stickers-on-the-shoes” action to commemorate the great Hess-ian?

  22. Wufpacker 03/10/2012 at 3:01 PM #

    Nice try Barnes, you flopping sack of crap.

  23. MP 03/10/2012 at 3:01 PM #

    Walks and flops. He should play for f-in Duke.

  24. wufpup76 03/10/2012 at 3:01 PM #

    FLOP

  25. Gene 03/10/2012 at 3:02 PM #

    Flops should not be called BULLSHIT
