Potential Panic Button Thread (NC Central Leads at the Half)

Yeah, yeah, the announcers keep saying this is a “veteran Central team” – losing this game would be completely unacceptable, even in an unpredictable year.

Let’s hope we come out on fire and quell my nerves.

    This has Gott to sting for a while.

    Barber can play. Not sure anyone else can.

    Rick, based on the Pie-rats effort in Durham last night, December 21 might be another day to live in infamy.

    NCSU Athletics at an an all-time low.

    Where are these fouls coming from?! Two guys bump into one another and it’s a foul. Too bad state sucks at the fundamentals of shooting free throws.

    Of course, let’s wait to the 1:06 mark to start a press.

    CLANK!!!

    let’s play Belmont.
    UNX lost at the line.
    they’re FREE throws.
    sorry coaching IMHO.

    Duke is going to the ACC championship game in football and central beats us on the hardwood. Go figure.

  10. Rick 11/20/2013 at 9:28 PM #

    Agreed on lowest point in NCSU athletic history.

    There is literally nothing to look forward to

    NC State football and basketball are both approaching nadir.

    Tom Suiter smiles…

    Honeymoon is over for Gott. Real teaching begins.

    Agreed. Lowest point ever.

    This is top 5 (losses modern era) for sure.

    Central was actually around 150 rpi last season, and look to be halfway decent this season as well.

    BUT, you can’t lose to Central. At home (or anywhere really if you’re NC State). A small program’s sixth season in D1 and they live right down the road?

    Simply terrible.

    When is Hangover 4 coming out?

  17. BJD95 11/20/2013 at 9:32 PM #

    We should have accepted our 3-point regulation loss, taken our ball and gone home. Doh.

    Florida Atlantic was still worse. I was there. 1-23, dead last in RPI coming in. That was apocalyptic.

    Another crowning moment to a nothing team at the expense of NCSU. What a total joke top to bottom of a program. No wonder pulling against UNC is so popular amongst state fans since everything about state athletics sucks. Too bad it’s obvious state will always stay in the shadow of unc no matter how bad they are. Just the way it is…was…will be.

    First I laughed, then I cried, then I laughed, then I cried.

    This is exactly the reason gin exists.

    My fears are confirmed. Gott doesn’t seem to really know how to adapt. We’re still running the high post, and this team just doesn’t have the pieces.

    If you’re a guard oriented team that struggles in the half court and doesn’t play defense well (which is inexcusable to me), you need to speed up the friggin game. We shot it horribly tonight, but that’s still no excuse for losing. NC Central didn’t exactly light it up.

    Doeren is over his head.
    Gott gets the coeds.
    FastBack is right.
    baseball.

    Embarassing. Not even the worst of the worst ACC teams in history have done this. Another dubious honor for NC State athletis. The 2 major money/TV sports and we suck horribly in both. I no longer want anybody to know I’m a State fan.

    Debbie Yow just called to register for anger management class. No room, because it is already filled with Pack fans.

  24. Whiteshoes67 11/20/2013 at 9:38 PM #

    And we’re yet to see the best lineup on the court for extended time.

  25. Rick 11/20/2013 at 9:38 PM #

    How long before Deb feels heat?

    This crapfest is all hers
