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.

    Agreed. Leave Leslie on the bench. Much better flow.

    CJ needs to play better or his draft stock will plummet and we’ll be stuck with him for another year.

    I say Gott Purvis.

  7. BJD95 02/23/2013 at 5:08 PM #

    I agree with MG that the Purvis/Buckets tandem should be playing. Matchups and Leslie’s head-up-assdom dictate that.

    Agree VTPackfan 100%. Cottling the head case makes it hard to deal with your entire team.

    I believe we can rotate Lewis in and really slice this team up with ball movement. We’re so much better when we’re moving the ball instead of just forcing the inside play to Leslie.

    He’s unfortunately turned into a hindrance rather than an asset. I hate it.

    old coach says… just gimme FIFTEEN MINUTES of your best ball…guys and I’ll get us a VICTORY…

    Leslie is 1/6 with 6 TOs today. Is he shaving points? I can’t figure it out otherwise.

  12. Wufpacker 02/23/2013 at 5:11 PM #

    Head-up-assdom…LOL. Nice.

  13. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:12 PM #

    What you guys want to bet….

    1. CJ does not get back in as long as the game is close….
    2. CALVIN comes back in with 5 minutes to go and plays like hell and wins the game for us ..

    ??????

  14. Wufpacker 02/23/2013 at 5:12 PM #

    That was kind of a hectic minute or so there, eh?

  15. BJD95 02/23/2013 at 5:12 PM #

    Now THAT was a wacky sequence. Well officiated.

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

    Love this lineup.

  17. CHASSman 02/23/2013 at 5:13 PM #

    I love to see a tarhole miss a dunk.

  18. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:13 PM #

    … holes got that walkon from Raleigh in….
    Watch what LO does next…

  19. GolenbockHater 02/23/2013 at 5:14 PM #

    Howell gets rebound and 2 punches in the gut

  20. wufpup76 02/23/2013 at 5:14 PM #

    Howell is just a man. Wow

  21. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:15 PM #

    Scott is looking like Larry Bird today….

    Indiana’s finest….

    an NC State tradition !!!

    and the last guy that waved at the basket THAT LONG >>>>after a jump shot in the DD had 23 on his shirt…

  22. Wufpacker 02/23/2013 at 5:15 PM #

    I think we gotta give Woo his D back just based on those last couple of three’s. He’s working his ass off.

    Plus he did get the block a few mins ago.

  23. BJD95 02/23/2013 at 5:15 PM #

    Woo has been all-around awesome today. He wants the “at the Nose Dome” scalp.

  24. eas 02/23/2013 at 5:16 PM #

    CJ coming back in?

  25. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:16 PM #

    What a great stretch that was
