The last pessimistic game thread title I penned was before the FSU game last fall. So if by some miracle we win…you’re welcome.

    well, the good news is there’s no way Duke can keep up this offensive pace…right? I mean, geez, their 3-point percentage is nearly as high as our free throw percentage.

    The song when your hot your hot keeps running through my mind.

    It puts the lotion on its skin, or else Cook shoots a three again.

    When u let dook get hot… This is what happens

    Agreed Khan that out lack of perimeter D is helping them, but even taking that into account they’re shooting lights out.

    Re-reading Stoker’s Dracula in my voluminous spare time. Might pick it up again in lieu of watching another 20 minutes of this after halftime.

    Wow. Freshman will all play near 40 minutes unless we choose to clear the bench

    Glad some are coming to the conclusion of No Excuse. We’re young, but the mistakes we keep making at this point of a season, and the lack of effort (Curry drains an open three), are not excusable. Coach needs to rip into some prima dona ass.

    Lewis and Howell showed up. That’s it.

  11. Wufpacker 02/07/2013 at 9:19 PM #

    We still haven’t turned the ball over at all. And considering how few shots Duke has missed we’re doing reasonably well on the rebounding battle as well.

    Optimism!!!!

    Our lack of quickness and defensive technique is pretty much magnified tonight against a hot shooting team.

  13. Gene 02/07/2013 at 9:19 PM #

    Time to play the walk-ons and “build” some depth?

  14. PackFamily 02/07/2013 at 9:20 PM #

    Bill: you misread my comment. We are saying the same thing.

  15. jbwbubba 02/07/2013 at 9:20 PM #

    How defense hasn’t been great. But Duke is dropping several threes with hands in the face

  16. WeAreCured 02/07/2013 at 9:20 PM #

    With 5 days to prepare, I’m not so sure I put this on the young men on the floor. I haven’t seen any evidence of anyone being a prima donna.

  17. Wufpacker 02/07/2013 at 9:21 PM #

    Hey, at least it’s under 20.

    Optimism!!!

    EDIT – Nevermind….the ESPN3 feed sucks and their 58 looked like 55.

  18. wufpup76 02/07/2013 at 9:21 PM #

    Well, we just gave up 60 points in a half.

  19. Khan 02/07/2013 at 9:22 PM #

    And there you have the famous NC State end of half debacle. You know it’s coming. Every time. And it never disappoints.

  20. GoState91 02/07/2013 at 9:22 PM #

    Duke is on pace to break some scoring records against us tonight. I think Duke scored 110 against one of Les Robinson’s teams in the early 90s. Inexcusable!! At least I can go to bed early. I’ve seen enough. Hello NIT!!

  21. freshmanin83 02/07/2013 at 9:22 PM #

    They only scored 58 not 61 whew … had me worried.

  22. Khan 02/07/2013 at 9:22 PM #

    Glad we’re not on national TV.

  23. bill.onthebeach 02/07/2013 at 9:22 PM #

    ^PF… I know … you just reminded of some inane remarks on forum threads….

  24. BJD95 02/07/2013 at 9:23 PM #

    It’s a nice reminder that we weren’t gonna win this game under optimal circumstances.

    We held ’em under 60 after all. Total moral victory. On that high note, I bid you wacky kids adieu for the evening.

  25. WeAreCured 02/07/2013 at 9:23 PM #

    We missed a ton of good looks early on, and Duke shot lights out from three. That’s all there is to it. It happens.
