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.

    You have to admit UNC does a good job of denial on defense.

    My wife asked a little while ago didn’t that unx player travel to the basket?? How many steps are you allowed in college?

    She’s from GA, you’ll have to excuse her lack of understanding of the double standard.

    Of course that foul is on Calvin.

    What the hell was all that?? We take extasy at the break or something?

  7. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 2:05 PM #

    Is that two on Calvin??

    Really want to see the Leslie/seller tie up replayed

  10. JeremyH 03/10/2012 at 2:05 PM #

    Did Zeller foul Lesie there?

    “She’s from GA, you’ll have to excuse her lack of understanding of the double standard.”

    It is our job to expose that double standard

    Zeller fall down = foul…no such thing as incidental contact

  13. mafpack 03/10/2012 at 2:06 PM #

    Of course they cut to comercial without a replay… lets see if we get one now…

  14. wufpup76 03/10/2012 at 2:06 PM #

    We’re gonna have to play De Thaey. Notice how the Holes never have to adjust their personnel except for injury?

    Not so for other teams.

    CJ should know that Carolina is gonna get the benefit of the doubt on those…

    Gminski on WRAL and Elmore on ESPN. I can’t decide who is lesser of two evils.

    Trust me I’ve tried. She just thinks I’m paranoid.

  18. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 2:07 PM #

    I couldn’t really see how that tangle started, so I can for sure say calvin was screwed there. But I can fill in the blanks with 90 percent certainty.

    Calvin is keeping us in the game. He should be tourney MVP even if we lose today.

  19. JeremyH 03/10/2012 at 2:07 PM #

    Well either way I love that Leslie can just rise up over Zeller.

  20. Rick 03/10/2012 at 2:07 PM #

    I just rewound that call. Zeller holds his arms out and Leslie tried to fight through it. Zeller fell down like he was shot.

  21. redcanine 03/10/2012 at 2:07 PM #

    zeller did something similar yesterday vs the terps

  22. MISTA WOLF 03/10/2012 at 2:08 PM #

    We have to win this game today or at least make it come down the the buzzer. They beat our ass today and the Virginia win is obsolete.

  23. JeremyH 03/10/2012 at 2:08 PM #

    Hairston can’t believe the call!

  24. Sweet jumper 03/10/2012 at 2:09 PM #

    Exploit Stillmon White. Come on.
