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.

    Stripe 1 to Stripe 2… “Well, they’re getting clobbered… maybe we should call a foul here since Carolina can’t get the rebound”

    Radio guys just accidentally said “rebounded by Leslie for Carolina”, but the way he’s been giving the ball away, that seems about right.

    Brown has missed a shit load of floaters in the lane.

    And we’ve gone cold now too.

    Smoke if you GOTT ’em…

    halftime…

  9. GolenbockHater 02/23/2013 at 4:44 PM #

    6 secs… don’t u call a timeout after that basket?

  10. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 4:44 PM #

    Awful half . Very disappointing. Howell is keeping us in it.

  11. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 4:45 PM #

    … second half is OURS…

    things are already turning… that stupid race is finally over on espn…

    12 turnovers = 16 UNC points. Awful. I don’t want to hear chit about officiating at the end of this game if we get the L.

  13. BJD95 02/23/2013 at 4:45 PM #

    Not holding for the last shot really hurt us there. Basketball 101, and we flunked it (as we have all half). A good team would be beating us by 20 or so.

    Disappointing half.

    Howell was amazing and we’re killing the boards but losing to turnovers.

    We can play much better and we’re only down 6, so there’s hope.

  15. coach13 02/23/2013 at 4:45 PM #

    Howell is getting fouled bad under the basket. Will it literally take blood to get the foul called???

  16. Wufpacker 02/23/2013 at 4:46 PM #

    Damn lucky to only be down six. Could easily be about 16. I hope there are some new assholes being torn in the Pack’s locker room right now, and Leslie needs two new ones IMHO.

  17. coach13 02/23/2013 at 4:47 PM #

    Still our game to take if we can quit with turnovers and play decent defense. Gave up on good. I’ll take decent.

  18. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 4:47 PM #

    Agreed. A good team would be killing us. UNC is very young. But they are going to torch us today if our D does not improve and we keep giving it away. Very poor basketball today.

  19. GoState91 02/23/2013 at 4:48 PM #

    What a disgusting first half. Making the Holes look like a top 10 team. Only Howell has shown up to play. Why???
    Third place at stake versus your hated rival. Come on boys wake up!

  20. TheAliasTroll 02/23/2013 at 4:48 PM #

    Our team’s basketball IQ is not good… Zo needed to hold for last shot of the half rather than forcing .. down 6 at the half rather than 4. We just don’t seem to understand the game situations a lot of the times.

    Our defense makes me want to vomit on the floor.

    Obviously Gott didn’t get it because he left the turnover machine (CJ) in the game. He probably thought it was Lewis’ fault that CJ sucked so he sat him instead.

    Terrible!

  22. GolenbockHater 02/23/2013 at 4:50 PM #

    I didn’t even know about race…. Not sure if they’ve been interrupting on espn, but it’s been on the game the whole time on espn3….

    “12 turnovers = 16 UNC points. Awful. I don’t want to hear chit about officiating at the end of this game if we get the L.”

    AMEN TO THAT! and that is just the 1st half

  24. Wufpacker 02/23/2013 at 4:52 PM #

    Pack Baseball up 3-0 bottom 6th btw. Rodon with a no hitter (11 Ks) thru six.

  25. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 4:53 PM #

    I hope Gott is giving Calvin a thorough tongue lashing. He hasn’t shown up today and it is costing us.

    Howell deserves a medal right now. Without him, we’d be down 15.

    Stop giving it away, Pack. And D up!
