N.C. State (3-0) vs. South Florida (3-0) at 4pm today, PNC Arena
TV: EspnU (Channel 208 on DirectTv)
South Florida plays in the still tough AAC: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/teams/page/SFLA/south-florida-bulls
South Florida is 3-0 under first year head coach Orlando Antigua. This is Antigua’s first collegiate head coaching gig, though he is also the head coach for the Dominican National Team – following John Callipari in that role: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Antigua
Common opponents: Jackson St. The Bulls defeated Jackson St. 73-64 last Sunday. South Florida faces both Hofstra and Jacksonville in their next two contests, each of which are previous Pack opponents. South Florida’s other wins were vs. Flagler and @ UAB. (N.C. State, Hofstra, USF, and Jackson St. are part of some obscure pre-season event that I can’t be bothered to track down the name of).
History: South Florida last played in the NCAA Tournament in 2012, notching a couple of wins coming out of the ‘First Four’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Florida_Bulls_men%27s_basketballAccording to sports-reference .com, N.C. State and USF have only squared off once, and that was a 2010 NIT first round game that the Pack won, 58-57. http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/south-florida/head-to-head.html
(Become witness to this awe-inspiring in-bounds play) :
Prognosis: South Florida will likely take some lumps this season, trying to re-build a bit under Antigua. Still, they have a decent schedule and if the Pack can secure a victory this has a chance to be a decent RPI win (or at least not horrific like Jackson St. and Jacksonville).
Ok, let’s see what happens! Enjoy the game everyone!
Gott said they are similar to Hofstra but with a better inside game. Each game is going to get a little tougher from here on out.
There used to be a website that did live advanced stats with an estimated win percentage…
Does anybody remember the name of it, or know if it still exists?
Test post….
Testes, testes, one, two….three?
Anyway, I found it, but can’t post it because, who knows.
Coach says on the pregame radio…
We will be concentrating on keeping the ball out of the paint on the defensive end…
USF has averaged 20 TOs a game this season…
I look for us to take advantage of their ball handling…
… as that will help out bigs… Coach say all four will get plenty of minutes..
We shall see…Should be a good one..
GO PACK!#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^thanks, Bill. Will we try to apply more perimeter pressure, or just play solid until USF coughs it up?
Looked over the back there
And didn’t see that foul on Anya … we’ll have some long games this season if refs are inconsistent (they usually are for NCSU)
I know Cat just turned it over, but it looked to me like he was driving with his head UP. That’ll lead to a lot more good stuff than bad.
