They should have been mowed down by Houston today, but for the loss of Shead.
It all depends on who the refs favor. I find it hard to believe that Burns will get the calls he's been getting when he's playing against the likely Naismith Trophy winner this year. On paper State should be no match for Purdue, but State has been playing with the 1983 horseshoe up their ass since the ACC tournament, so who knows how it will go.I think Edey is a bad matchup for Burns. Burns doesn’t exactly elevate a ton on his shot off post moves - I think he’ll have a tough time getting his shot off. Plus, Edey is a little harder to body and back down than Filipowski/Mitchell
you don’t think hoping an 84% FT shooter from another team misses a front end of a 1 and 1 and then banking in a 3 at the buzzer to force OT isn't lucky? State has played great, but if that completely improbable shit didn't happen, its a nice story about how an underdog team made the semis. wake's luck is always that the shot was on target but rattled out.“Lucky”.
They played hard and played well. That’s not luck. If it was luck, Wake would eventually get it.
Those two sequences against UVa were lucky yes.you don’t think hoping an 84% FT shooter from another team misses a front end of a 1 and 1 and then banking in a 3 at the buzzer to force OT isn't lucky?

Second time in a decade a 10th place ACC finisher has made the Final 4. Cuse also did it in '16.
It is interesting the ACC seems to be the only big boy league that has teams make deep runs from the depths of its conference
States run ends next game.
Edy vs. Clingman for the marbles
Five different ACC schools in the last five Final Fours. Six different and nine total in the last nine Final Fours since Louisville joined.
NCSU played hard to get back in the UVA tourney game, but it took a missed FT to set up a desperation 3 to force OT. That’s the only time I felt luck factored in the result. Of course none of this would have happened had they lost that game. Would they have made the NIT? Probably not.“Lucky”.

We had football season tickets at both Wake & State for over 10 years. State fans are just fine and tiers above dook & Carolina fans.have none of you spent a Saturday afternoon in or around Carter Finley? State fans are awful
But also, fuck duke
I am really looking forward to DJ Burna working against Edey in the post. I think it’s a fascinating match up. With Edey’s size he should own Burns defensively. Can’t what to see what creative angles on the glass Burns uses to counter.
How many since 1962?Five different ACC schools in the last five Final Fours. Six different and nine total in the last nine Final Fours since Louisville joined.
at the least: Dook, UNC, State, UVa, GT, FSU, Maryland (if you count them), Louisville, ND (only once - surprising!), Miami, SyracuseHow many since 1962?
