I would rather play Kansas than Villanova. Nova is tough and the D they play would be hard to go against.
9th seed and Villanova.
KY left the nets up after winning the SEC championship. Hope they don’t regret cutting some nets down this year. Here’s to wishful thinking.
Ok maybe not a troll but one negative MF’er. Even during the wins he grips about something. Maybe he needs to get laid more?
Alpha, don’t know why you respond to that troll. He knows the deal. PA44 exists to just stir crap where there is no crap.
Yeah I am disappointed with the effort and results but I WILL BE DAMMED TO GET DOWN ON THIS TEAM OR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. I AM PROUD OF THIS TEAM AMD THEY WILL LEARN FROM THIS IN THE FIRST ROUND! GO PACK!
PROUD OF THIS TEAM!
I may be in the minority but if we have to play KY (assuming we win the first game) there is no better time to play them. Coming off a beating of the 16th seed will be helpful for us. Also they do not rebound well on the offensive glass and I think we could give them a scare. Do I think we would win? No, but I think we would have a punchers chance.
Don’t get me wrong I wish no ill will against him. Meaning I don’t wish for him to lose his job. At the same time I want the entire media to see him as he truly is and that is a mediocre coach at best who seems to have everyone in the media and other coaches fooled that he can coach not to mention a nice guy to boot. I met the guy once and he is far from a nice guy or cool dude. Of course that’s probably because he so introverted. He should be teaching music or English somewhere instead coaching basketball.
Kahn,
If I understand your comments you are apologizing for the win? I guess I don’t see it that way. Syracuse went down there in early February and got destroyed. The big picture is that the Pack have won 4 out of the last five. Three of those on the road. Two against the top 15 in the country. Think about that. This team was not projected to make the NCAA. I am not saying I am happy to be a just above average program either but State has not experienced this level of success since the V days.
The tournament will be short for 34 teams. Can’t have any success to build on if you don’t get in.
The hell with skinny jeans I will stick with the parachute pants from the early eighties.
lol
I sure hope you are taking this too seriously.
Mc, Thanks for your critical review. 🙂
I work with numbers not as much with words to paper. I am actually early Gen X but thanks for playing.
MacCullum, let me get this straight you post like you have two brain cells fighting for attention then say oooooh I love Downtown Abby. That’s like drinking red wine with fish. That dog don’t hunt. Just sayin.
Really! I am talking about the play on the court. I am not saying about what goes on in the classroom. Don’t try to make this argument about something different. I am talking about all the proding, pushing, pleaing for them to play with a sense of urgency. Pack has always had problems getting up after big wins against the teams in blue. This isn’t strictly a Gott thing. Hell when our coaches can’t beat them we run them out of town and now you are saying lets run them because they lose the next game? This lunacy from some here to blame Gott for everything is silly. Coaches do carry some responsibilty but Gott has been doing this for sometime. He knows this game had all the potential in the world to be a trap game. I do not beleive for one second he didn’t try to address that all week. Players win and lose the games. Gott had a plan and sometimes the players don’t excute or they get patted on the back all week from their friends and negates all the work the ccoaches are trying to acccomplish. If Gott is recruiting players that have no business playing D1 basketball or trying to complete college course work then that’s on him. I am talking about more than one player every four years. I agree sometimes the message gets lost on a current group of players but that isn’t the case here. If that was the case then they wouldn’t be where they are as it relates to the big wins and the good chance to play in the NCAA. Each of his teams have gotten better as the season went on and this is another sign he has not lost them. If they make the tournement it will be four years in row he has led them to the dance. Are you telling me that counts for nothing? Look at the big picture not a microcosm of one game.
See that’s where I disagree I think this falls on the players. Coaches can only do so much. Yeah he celebrated that night after the win. He is a players coach. Then he begin trying to get them mentally prepared. He can say all the right things and try gauge their mental state but he can only do so much. Push them hard in practice and yell at them until they are mad at you. Get them to rally around hating you. Sometimes no matter what you do you can’t get through.
This game had upset written all over it. I mean they have three seniors and two juniors staring. One of the best players in the conference. Pack is coming off three straight wins and feeling good. Being played in cavernous barn where you could hear a spider burp. As someone said earlier we all knew this coming
