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.

    I respectfully request that AJ not leave the floor the rest of the way.

    Great shot by CAlvin.

  12. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 3:09 PM #

    Zeller is playing super tight. We can still take this.

    Calvin is a man among kids

    The Calvin Leslie legend is growing.

    Ha, CJL walked there. We got one back. And we deserve it.

  16. Rick 03/10/2012 at 3:09 PM #

    Smart to let him go.

  17. Rick 03/10/2012 at 3:10 PM #

    Gets knocked down and they call a travel

    “Hey! Hey! What is this, some kind of sick prank? I get the greatest thing ever just to have it taken away? Why did you do this to me God? Next time you’re gonna get my hopes up could you please take me to a grease monkey? Because I like to get lubed up before I get fucked! Huh? Some lube would be nice. Or at least a courtesy lick, God. How about a little courtesy lick the next time you decide to fuck me?” Cartman

    We foul even in zone.

  20. Rick 03/10/2012 at 3:10 PM #

    4 on Calvin
    The revenge of the ACC is now complete.

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

    Dumb foul by Leslie… we have to keep our heads in it despite the refs

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

    Shit, Calvin. Have to let that one go. Shit, shit, shit.

    Tendencies!!!

    You know the officials are going to have a lot of work this offseason in studying new players tendencies after UNX loses 4 players.

  24. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 3:12 PM #

    I sure as hell won’t watch the second game today. Nor the final.

  25. wolfie91 03/10/2012 at 3:12 PM #

    We’ve made several fouls this half on shots we should have just let go.
