Predict the date of the "Canning of Manning"
I/m in for 12-25
The players are in an unfortunate death spiral now. They are used to losing and have very little confidence— I felt the game was over when State went ahead 14-4. As a consequence we don’t play hard for long stretches of the game—State seemed to get all the 50/50 balls , particularly in the second half.
Sorry, work got the best of me yesterday (hard to believe that anything could be more important than WF vying for an 11th seed in the ACCT).
Will update later: KP projects a 79-72 Pack win. WF has a 28% chance at a win. The Deacs can pretty much end State's hopes for an NCAA bid tonight. Deacs are 4-0 this season in revenge spots. State won the first match up way back in December 91-82. Chill had 30. Think this game goes over just like last time. WF offense is clicking; the defense... not so much.

Somehow winning tonight and hiring Beilien would be as close to full circle as we could possibly get.The Nut Punch was 15 years ago tonight. If one wanted to pick a date for when the WF basketball program began to fall apart, March 6th, 2005 would be as good as any. That day led to Chris Paul's suspension in the first round of the ACCT, which led to losing a #1 seed in the NCAAT, which led to the West Virginia loss. Without the Nut Punch and the ACCT 1st round loss we would have almost certainly been a #1 seed in the NCAAT and WV would never have happened. A 2nd WF appearance in the Final Four would have been very possible and from there everything may have unfolded very differently than what has happened in the last 15 years.

O/U is high, but over feels like the play (again)... I'm not on it yet, though.
Somebody talk me out of NCSU -7.5... Feels like the team has every reason to just roll over tonight, even though we haven't seen that happen this year. Even if we play relatively well, there's no reason we couldn't lose by 10+ points in a high scoring affair.
Maybe I'm just forcing things... Need to think about it more.
Manning.Only if one of our players gets punched in the nuts.
