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.

    And sure, why not blow a f—–g dunk for good measure?

    Yep, MG deserves some heat. For this game, I mean. Still a good coach.

    Leslie should not have seen the floor in the second half. Yet he gets all the minutes. What a bad message that sends.

    Cjl is a cancer on the team. Shows up sometimes others awol

  7. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:49 PM #

    And Paige has game. Major game.

  8. virginiawolf 02/23/2013 at 5:49 PM #

    Let’s have a show of hands for all that think that CJL should go ahead and pack in suit case and leave.

    I don’t blame Gott for their terrible play. However I DO blame Gott for leaving them in!!!!!!

    I’m crediting ALL of this BS to TWO things…..

    1. Black unis
    2. YouTube videos…

    ’nuff said….

    Game Over.

    How many times have they got a rebound off of a missed freethrow they’ve attempted??

  12. coach13 02/23/2013 at 5:50 PM #

    I’d really like to see someone press Gottfried why the F he put CJ back in and.

  13. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:50 PM #

    A blowout loss. My oh my. Didn’t see it coming.

  14. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:50 PM #

    PS. We will play the HOLES in the ACC tournament.

    We better be wearing RED !!!!

    Not going off the ledge. Actually feel refreshed a bit after this one. It’s what happens when something that you’ve been blind on is immediately apparent right in front of you.

    Gottfried as an in game HC was and is, in no way, an upgrade over Lowe. Recruit, recruit, recruit… pray you have some solid assistants and the stay around….and reply Heavily on player only meetings. That’s the only time the truth will come out.

    Fact is, if State had a players only meeting after this, CJ would have a flat nose and two black eyes.

    Just because many of you are too stupid to understand, that does not make Gott an idiot.

  17. ILPackfan 02/23/2013 at 5:52 PM #

    Suckage.

  18. packer74 02/23/2013 at 5:52 PM #

    As expected. Awful finish. Turnovers, poor shot selection, weak defense. Calvin ??????

  19. Whiteshoes67 02/23/2013 at 5:52 PM #

    Gott shares blame. Consistently bad on defense = coaching. You’re going to lay offensive eggs from time to time. Tell me I’m wrong, but did we not change up defenders a little more against Bullock in Raleigh?

    Back to our mediocrity in basketball…this season is becoming discouraging.

  21. Dogbreath 02/23/2013 at 5:52 PM #

    We will look back on this as the emperor has no clothes game. Gottfried putting Wood on Paige in crunch time is the worst coaching move I’ve ever seen . 25-8 run to close the game. Just awful coaching. I think he is our Roy. Great recruiter. Marginal coach.

  22. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:53 PM #

    Roy wanted this one more. He hates losing to us. We have the better team. He has some players, though. Paige really is a good player, and Bullock and Hairston are lethal from the outside.

  23. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:53 PM #

    ^edit VT… a busted nose and two red eyes…

    he already has the other.

    And then Richard would let the rest of guys do what they needed to do…..

  24. jpack 02/23/2013 at 5:53 PM #

    CJ Leslie was the TarHoles best player today. No longer Calvin. He should be called Strawman, no brain or heart.

  25. wufpup76 02/23/2013 at 5:53 PM #

    A lot of talent going to waste if we don’t pull our heads out of our asses down the stretch.

    Didn’t like the gameplan, didn’t like the in-game subs or flow.

    Very disappointing performance today.
