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.

    Good start considering two bogus whistles. Give us a chance ref crew.

    Oh my Lord! Traveling!!

    Travel on Carolina…UNBELIEVABLE…

    The carry on Calvin was fair, and Woo should have been called for travelling before the bricked layup.

    If the refs are even close to even we have a chance. If they do not hamstring us with fouls we have a chance.
    Not having Hensen is huge

    We match up so much better without Henson. Maybe our gameplan next time we play them will be to get him in foul trouble…

    Sorry I couldn’t stop laughing.

    Howell will foul out in the 1st half….

    “The flop is now a “good call””

    Definitely prove that it was a flop… not that you feel it was a flop. That is the problem with “flops”

    Woo will be W today. He’s not going to get an inch.

    Hit FT

    Love the aggressive style of play.

    “Definitely prove that it was a flop… not that you feel it was a flop. That is the problem with “flops””

    That is my point. The flop should not be called, just like a dive in hockey

  13. ScottieJ2000 03/10/2012 at 1:52 PM #

    Foul on Zeller AND we make our free throws!

  14. Gene 03/10/2012 at 1:52 PM #

    Hit other FT

  15. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/10/2012 at 1:52 PM #

    Yes!!! Made some FT’s

  16. Rick 03/10/2012 at 1:52 PM #

    Woo may need to be happy with being a decoy

  17. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 1:52 PM #

    We can’t win without rebounding. Without Henson…we can rebound against the Holes. Plus we can guard Marshall.

    Damn UNX is quick

    PRINGLES!!!!

    Where’s the foul call?

  20. wufpup76 03/10/2012 at 1:54 PM #

    We can hang w/ this team w/out Henson. Need to hit shots.

    Whoever McAdoo guards should get the ball every time. His D sucks, though he has offensive skill.

  23. Rick 03/10/2012 at 1:54 PM #

    Howell has come to play
