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.

    That missed layup will cost the Holes the game. Count on it.

    OK, that call against Howell was BS. I haven’t really had a problem with other calls up to that point.

    Refs are taking over.

    This is F’ing BS from the Refs.

    ACC is making sure they get the game they want tomorrow.

    Wow every possession for UNX results in a foul.

    DId Painter breath on Zeller without using a mouthwash during the half?

  10. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 3:03 PM #

    Now that foul on Painter was complete BS

    We can’t win against 8 guys on the court playing for Carolina.

    They did it at Duke and now they are doing it again,

  15. BureauOfMines 03/10/2012 at 3:03 PM #

    Our starters are going to foul out of this game at the rate it’s going.

  16. Gene 03/10/2012 at 3:03 PM #

    “ACC is making sure they get the game they want tomorrow.”

    And this is why I want to get out of the ACC. It is plain as day the league will do everything it can, including out right cheating, to make sure they get the matchup they want.

    We don’t need to spot them points by Gott getting T’d up

    Keep our heads in it. Don’t settle for jumpers. Attack the rim. Get defensive rebounds. We’re only down by 1.

    I can deal with losing, it is the blatant biased officiating I cannot take.
