#7 NC STATE vs #3 DUKE Preview (ACC Tournament Edition)

Time: 3:30-ish
TV: ACCN, ESPN

Recap of Last Night

Review
January 18th, 2014 (Durham, NC)
Duke 95
NC State 60

Nothing went right. I mean absolutely nothing. Even Buckets was just Average. It’s pretty simple, everything the Pack did in the first game, do the opposite.

ADVANTAGES

PREDICTION
KenPom likes Duke by 9, Vegas opened at Duke -10.

TJ is going to get tired today from carrying the heavy workload. I also think it’ll be a 5-on-8 game if it’s even close. The Pack used up all it’s magic on the final 6 shots last night and the run comes to an end today. Yes I’m being negative, it’s worked for the Pack so far.

About 1.21 Jigawatts

    My mindset before the game is te Pack loses by +15 points and as such we don’t make the NCAAT.

    Vitale. Really? I have to listen to Dookie V.

    My thoughts exactly. I watched UVa/Pitt with no sound and might be turning it back off soon.

    K has gone to Parker every time down so far…

    Lots of long rebounds for Duke so far.

    Gonna be a long-assed day if we don’t start rebounding.

    Remember, the key is to find the sweet spot, where you can just make out what Shulman’s saying (lower voice tone) than Dookie V’s screechy nonsense.

    Love how the jackass didn’t call the first game, since the Holes weren’t in it.

    K goes back to the Dook offense after three and a half minutes of Parker only…

    OK… there’s the Under4…
    PACK 0 — Dook o
    both teams feeling each other out…
    Washington stepping up to the Parker challenge..

    now we need something from a couple of kids…

    K’s not going to let them call Hood for mugging Warren long …

    They’ve missed a lot of shots, game plan looks good for now – problem is a lot of their shots have been open. Some pressure and we stand a real chance. Gotta loosen up their man d somehow. Barber and Lee could be huge today w/r/t driving the ball.

    Vitale. Really? I have to listen to Dookie V.

    I quickly switched to Brando/Gminski when I heard Vitale’s voice. Nails on a chalkboard.

    Sh*t.

    Didn’t foul him but the action got the foul. Damn it.

    I wish I could somehow have Brando/Shulman.

    I guess u will never understand the mindset that says you should ‘not put it in the refs hands’. So they are saying, in essence, you cannot count on the refs calling a fair game.

    Buckets is starting well

    Duke is simply faster off the dribble. Going to be a long afternoon if the pack doesn’t set up on D.

    Could have sworn that ball hit the baseline. Oh well, no harm done, but we better stop giving up the open looks from deep.

    I want to see Vandy give Amile Jefferson a forearm shiver. That would make me smile.
