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.

    At least they waited until the 10 minute mark to really start screwing us. Must have gotten feedback from the Duke game that they started doing it too early.

    Pathetic, Hess & co. Making their mark on this one. Way to f up a great game by dq’ing a guy.

    This is professional wresting quality play. It was predetermined who was going to win this game.

    The screwing started at the beginning of the second half. It’s f’ing obvious to everyone at the 10 minute mark.

    Can fans sue the ACC over the bullshit officiating? Shouldn’t be hard to prove all the bullshit calls against us in the second half.

    “its not over guys”

    Yes it is. The refs will NOT let us win this game.

    DY-It is time for an official show your ass complaint about officiating to the league office. This is total bullshit. I don’t mind those calls if they are called that way on both ends, but they are not.

    That’s it. To hell with this league. I don’t give a damn if we join Conference USA, we need out of this abomination of a conference.

    Game’s been over.

    The ACC wants a UNC-Duke championship game. The refs are doing their part to make that happen.

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

    Was that on Zeller?

  21. coach13 03/10/2012 at 3:22 PM #

    Yes it will be Duke UNC. This was scripted w/o consent.

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

    tyler. don’t go out. you’re safe.

  23. BureauOfMines 03/10/2012 at 3:22 PM #

    The refs will foul out all our starters before they let us win this.

  24. PackerInRussia 03/10/2012 at 3:22 PM #

    If Howell’s going to get fouled, he’s GOT to make the shot first. It’s almost guaranteed he’ll miss at least one if not both free throws

    Guys look unconfident.
