Pack/Mizzou LiveBlog

Time to make Frank Haith more dazed and confused than usual! The LiveBlog returns, to cure your post-Christmas depression. Or to give you a safe venue to wallow in it. Your mileage may vary.

7:54 – It sure will be nice when our game starts, and we can all turn away from this dishwasher-dull Louisville/Da U bowl game. I’ve rarely been this bored by a game that has included a safety. That may be all that the Canes get, BTW.

7:59 – Tipoff awaits. 16-2 L’ville.

8:01 – Jeebus, if this interview is live, ain’t nobody there…

8:02 – OK, think it was pre-recorded. Pretty nice crowd for a late tip during the most seppuku-friendly time of year.

8:04 – HWSNBN would love Mizzou’s shot selection. Yeesh.

8:06 – Des may have the beginnings…of the hallowed Talibeard.

8:10 – Announcing crew does nice job summarizing how the mojo of this team has changed from last season.

8:12 – Buckets with some badass D!

8:14 – Two fouls on Cat, and this team presents HUGE matchup problems for WBS.

8:20 – Love the Buckets lovefest. Dude is awesome.

8:23 – Good loose ball hustle by Turner saves the possession.

8:24 – Buckets again. Unstoppable from anywhere on the floor.

8:25 – VandenSLAM!

8:26 – All hail the King! Hippo!!

8:27 – The King swats it away, Des calls for the adulation of the crowd. And gets it.

8:29 – Rick has it right in the comments – best defense NC State has played all season. A joy to behold.

8:30 – If Des starts nailing threes, he’ll be a deadly weapon.

8:33 – That looked like another clean KH swat to me.

8:34 – Anytime Buckets misses in transition…I am shocked.

8:38 – WBS leaves his feet a passer. There’s a saying ’bout that.

8:39 – MG is angry. We are already cramping his style on a Saturday night.

8:42 – Jimmy Dykes must be medicated this year. He’s sane and measured in his commentary.

8:44 – Best compliment I can give Buckets – you could drop him into the 1974 State/MD ACCT final…and he would fit right in.

8:46 – WBS with a nice drive to the hole, draws a foul. More of that, please.

8:48 – Our shitty foul shooting has re-emerged at the worst possible time.

Your Halftime Score – NC State 32, Mizzou 30. Sluggish finish.

9:11 – Need to change the mojo? Bring on KH!

9:13 – Don’t need Des falling in love with that shot.

9:14 – Cat to Buckets. Silky smooth goodness.

9:15 – On the football front? Go home, Miami. You’re drunk.

9:19 – Washington extends the lead to seven.

9:23 – Not liking the change in flow here. At each end of the court.

9:26 – Buckets turns the tide on offense with a 3, then Cat creates a turnover. Pack up 5 with the ball, flurry survived.

9:28 – One should expect at least one or two more flurries to come.

9:32 – Washington is another throwback player.

9:33 – Right now he’s throwing Mizzou back. Pack by ten. Confidence can be a very useful thing.

9:37 – Washington with a posterizing swat, too. His night.

9:40 – Blatant travel, not whistled.

9:43 – Entire lead has evaporated. Not feeling too good right now.

9:45 – Vandy might wanna think about shaving those pits a bit.

9:46 – VERY good timeout by MG.

9:47 – Still not sure what the ACTUAL call was there. Scoreboard never changed.

9:48 – One could argue that Mizzou threw an elbow and it’s a flagrant 1.

9:50 – Nope. We got screwed, and hard.

9:51 – Karma made that Turner 3 go in.

9:52 – WBS draws a HUGE charge to keep us in the game.

9:53 – Two of three have gone in, but not real comfortable with “Turner jacks up wild three” as the go-to play down the stretch.

9:55 – SHIT. Have to get that rebound.

9:56 – I’m thankful that Frank Haith overthinks late-game situations more than we underthink ’em.

9:57 – We force Mizzou into a terrible shot…and they hit it. Fuck me.

9:59 – Cat’s gotta make these.

10:00 – Damn it all to shit.

10:01 – I’m afraid we gonna lose. Not a just outcome, but it is what it is.

10:05 – Fran, we don’t have to have an INTENTIONAL missed FT play…

Your Final Score – Mizzou 68, NC State 64. This one smarts.

    “wow, how they didn’t call that a foul I have no idea. They’ve been calling it all night.”

    IMO that was amake up from the missed over the back. Not the right way to ref but …

    The best part of the early season is that it is Washington tonight, it has been Freeman others, and King Hippo has put in some good minutes as well. There’s a solid core forming here, folks.

    Sure Rick, I wish Turner and Lewis would stop shooting the ball. No really, I do.

    I like that confident shake of the head “no” from Washington. That tells me the man is proud to play defense.

    Jimmy Dykes is such a tool.

    I love how we’ll struggle in the conference without a second scorer. Good comment when you’re leading a ranked team by ten, Jimmy.

    Jig… you might be right…

    but his 3-2 zone is what got him back in this game and if for no other reason than we
    insisted on attacking it from the top of the key.

    So Cat goes out with three fouls, Haith takes out his PG and leading scorer at the same time and switches to man…. I’m scratching my head.

    Against a zone we should put Cuz at the 3 and run a triangle inside the zone where we have 3 on 2 for the rebound. But the entry pass is from the wing not the top of the key.

    Now while we are still trying to figure this out… they get hot from the three point line and we are back even.
