Basketball in Blacksburg

OK, perhaps that title is a logical absurdity.  But the fact remains that the Pack travels to VT today to kick off its ACC schedule.

It never really feels like winter to me until the conference portion of the schedule gets underway.  This year, there was also that little issue of it being warmer at Christmas time than Satan’s underpants.  But today we get the conference basketball, and seasonable temps.  Hello winter.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t point out that the statistical awesomeness of VaWolf82 has also been dusted off and rebooted for your 2016 pleasure.  If you haven’t read it already, you should.  It will explain why many of us are sweating March already, and why in any case, the Wolfpack has some work to do in the next two and a half months.

Speaking of which, it’s difficult to call a Jan 2 game at VT a must win….but with home dates vs ‘Ville and FSU, and road trips to Winston Salem and Chapel Hill in the next couple weeks, this one is about as important as any game against a VT Basketball team ever is.  State needs W’s, and there’s one there for the taking today.

Tip time is 2pm.

TV is the RSNs/ESPN3. (FoxSportsSouth locally)

Time for the Bad Kitteh to go to work

    Rowan is brick city.. no idea how he’s even at 33% from 3 point line.. seems like he’s hitting at 10% from the games I watch.

    Bjd – I loathe the officials in this league as well but we will never get the benefit of the doubt until they are called out. Hell, out conference leader was ad at UNC when arguably the biggest cheating scandal of all time occurred,..and crickets.

    Regarding the game itself – we gave up several boards, made 1 of our last 3 foul shots and failed to switch and it resulted in an open 3 pointer…we have seen this movie before and we will continue to see it.

    Lack of attention to details. Same old same old

    This 30 second shot clock is not good for our “offense.”

    No excuse for missing this many ft’s. It ain’t because of coaching. You’ve got to teach yourself to make them it’s not that hard.

    Cat had the D position. I get the call in the heat of the moment, but it was wrong.

    This is the kinda loss that can really send a team spiraling

    That’s an inexcusable call. There’s no way that isn’t a charge. He lowers his shoulder, he initiates the contact, Cat is in perfect defensive position. It’s the wrong call, and it’s a call that you have to get right if you’re the official standing right on top of it.

    Not the coaches fault but it if his responsibility. His program his players his team

    Not that I’m trying to make excuses, but I do have to wonder how much fatigue has to do with this 2nd half offensive collapse?

    We were short on everything, passing wasn’t crisp.

    Hey GOTT, do you have ANY other crunch time play than the sideline 3 pointer you have been using for your entire time at NCSU? NOPE!!! Everybody knows it also. Change the da@$ play!

    We took a giant screwing down the stretch. Never should have gone to OT.

    4-14 is my prediction

    Needed and need a new coach. Maybe AD
