Sunday Night Hoops

Sadly, the Holes have found their stride and will blow past Creighton. But we can still scout Kansas and Purdue for next Friday, and enjoy a few other nontraditional matchups – such as South Florida and Ohio vying for the right to square off against Carolina. Norfolk State is cooked, but perhaps Lehigh can squeeze by Xavier and keep a true underdog alive past the first weekend.

    Purdue got a great look, almost the same spot that Georgetown took their last shot for OT. Closer result, but still missed.

    Kansas will be a great challenge, but not impossible.

    One more hour left in this long weekend of hoops aplenty, with the wrestling match known as Florida State vs. Cincy.

    Thomas Robinson goes 2-for-12 and Kansas still wins. Hope he plays that poorly against us. Doubt it, though.

    LOL. Yeah, they ain’t exactly finessing it, are they?

    Sir Charles just said we have a lot more talent than Purdue, those guys at Kansas need to play better.

  9. Wufpacker 03/18/2012 at 10:53 PM #

    Hard to tell, my ass. That was goaltending.

    Barkley and Kenny the “jet” are talking about how difficult it is for Kansas to beat US! They also said we are a lot more talented than Purdue! Kenny Smith said are bigs are more versatile and Kansas will have to play their best to compete with us.

    Did I really just hear this or am I a sleep dreaming?

    yes, it is surreal to hear those nba guys talk positive about nc state. they’re not talking about duke, they’re not even talking abound unc, even though they advanced, they’re talking about state and their upside.

    I second that. Though, I doubt Kansas will lay as big an egg against us next Friday.

    If you’re sleep dreaming, have to give you props on your ability to type while unconscious.

    We cannot afford to turn the ball over against Kansas. No way. Coach Gott has 4 days to come up with a good game plan. I know we’ll be ready.

    20 years of crap and now we are getting serious respect. Guys we have just witnessed the new era of Wolfpack BB “arrove”! It is finally here….it really is. No matter if we win or loose Friday we are here to stay. Recruiting, coaching and fan base ready to role. Thank you Yow, Gott, players etc.

    Ready to roll

    I hate that for Marshall.

    Cincy and FSU really “hugging” it out.

    Tough loss to stomach for Purdue … we’ve been there.

    I actually think we’re a nightmare matchup for KU, not the other way around.

    We can shoot a lot of free throws in 4 days. Open up practices and ask fans to scream and hold up big stupid signs behind the backboards while we shoot. We cannot afford to shoot less than 70-75% from foul line in these next rounds. Great job by the Pack staff and team to play through tough times, tough calls and tough opponents. Keep it up Pack.

    @wufpup,
    How’s your colon recovering?

    Whoa…late game on Friday. 10:17???? PM?????

  21. wufpup76 03/18/2012 at 11:54 PM #

    ^Hahahaha – all good buddy.

    Thanks! TOTALLY worth it!
