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 think I am going to need to go change my underwear in the second half. The stress is getting to me.

    If you haven’t had a beer yet…don’t. No changing what worked in the first half.

    Pretty sure Williams Howell and Leslie all have 2 fouls. At least one on each was a lame call

    We cannot let James Mackondudes beat us

    Barnes is soooooooo passive. I could guard him today. Looks like we really may win this thing.

  14. Rick 03/10/2012 at 2:46 PM #

    Barnes guarding Calvin? HMMM

  15. Rick 03/10/2012 at 2:47 PM #

    Howell is going at it.

    Get the ball to Calvin. He will eat Wattys alive

    DAMNIT BJD…you just had to say it didn’t you!!

  17. Rick 03/10/2012 at 2:48 PM #

    That was one of the worst call I have ever seen

  18. PackerInRussia 03/10/2012 at 2:48 PM #

    Howell did that on purpose just to pad his offensive rebound stats

  19. Rick 03/10/2012 at 2:49 PM #

    Drive Calvin

  20. Wufpacker 03/10/2012 at 2:49 PM #

    Here come the fouls.

  23. Rick 03/10/2012 at 2:49 PM #

    Dang it. The refs are going to foul out Zo he is playing so well.

  24. Gene 03/10/2012 at 2:50 PM #

    How many fouls on Brown?
