State UNC game thread

Since I started the game threads we are 3-0. Since I am obviously the reason we keep winning I will keep doing the game thread. Ironically I will not be watching the game or able to join the game thread as my wife committed me to attend her nephew’s daughter’s baptism. Sigh. That means someone else will need to carry on the nickname “Buckets” and start the new one “Player X”.

I have no idea how this game will go. They will be playing “small ball” and we will be looking to score in the paint. Whichever team is able to force their will on the other will win. We should be more consistent as we will not be relying on the three, so if UNC gets hot we need to minimize the damage and keep our heads. This will be a close but high scoring game. I think we win it 87-83.

    Warren’s lack of composure has showed the last two possessions. Dammit.

    Missed FT’s killing us today.

    ^ yep.. I saw that play both ways…

    First TO this half for WolfPack… that’s good…

    .. this is just a typical old school STATE-Carolina bball game…

    Why Warren? Why go under that screen?

  6. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:35 PM #

    No poise from the Pack.

    Upper classmen, no composure

  8. Gene 02/23/2013 at 5:35 PM #

    We’re really losing our composure…

    That’s it

    Our defense is so damn bad. We aren’t going anywhere in March.

  11. ILPackfan 02/23/2013 at 5:36 PM #

    Sloppy.

  12. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:37 PM #

    Bullock is getting free. Paige just abused Wood. No help. Tis one is getting away from us.

    Methinks that was the kill shot. The game changed drastically when you know who came back in the game. Inexcusable.

    Mental toughness really missing from this bunch…all season long, no surprise, just dissappointing. Potential to be so good but they just don’t do the little things consistently…

    CJL in the game.. get down by 10
    Pull CJL .. up by 4
    CJL back in the game.. down by 8

    Hope someone on our bench who gets paid recognizes this pattern.

    Not over yet, but this would be a very disappointing loss.

    I think we’re a better team. Dam that’s disappointing.

  17. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:38 PM #

    Now Lewis comes in?

  18. ILPackfan 02/23/2013 at 5:38 PM #

    Oh, there’s no excuse for that coming off a timeout.

  19. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:39 PM #

    Bullock has killed us.

  20. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:39 PM #

    old coach says… COME ON GUYS….just gimme THREE MINUTES of your best ball… and I’ll get YOU a VICTORY…

  21. ILPackfan 02/23/2013 at 5:39 PM #

    Over.

  22. coach13 02/23/2013 at 5:39 PM #

    Ballgame. We have don NOTHING to deserve this one. To sad UNC sucks.

  23. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:40 PM #

    Shooters. Must. Get. Out. On. Shooters.

  24. nemesisj 02/23/2013 at 5:40 PM #

    Game over. Really disappointing.

  25. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:41 PM #

    Pearl and Greenberg both say we will only go as at as out perimeter defense. Based on today, we aren’t going very far.
