Man they really chose a picture where you can very clearly see Ryan young’s underwear

There’s only one poster here who’d notice that

uva’s aversion to watching the ball go through the hoop sure had some implications.

It still took that wild banked in 3 by O’Connell, but you’re also correct.

have none of you spent a Saturday afternoon in or around Carter Finley? State fans are awful

But also, fuck duke

Damn right State fans are fucktards, and Duke fans are nerdier fucktards. The only thing that makes State's run sweet is the fact that Duke/Carowhina aren't in the Final Four.

Duke getting owned in the tourney by two in-state rivals would be good if Duke alums actually lived in North Carolina

I mean Duke basketball not winning a natty and the Fl. State football debacle. Don't know how they have survived.

 

[ChrisL68]

Wake could never go on a run like that because we would never have that string of luck even if we were playing great.

Anybody but Duke

According to Torvik, the odds of NC State winning these last 9 games?

right around 10,000 - 1

We weren’t talking about his calves

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

Not sure if Edey will have the quickness to stay in front of Burns spin move. Height makes up for a lot though. Interesting matchup.

They were a 3 seed...

They were close to .500 in the league and outside the bubble if I remember right. But they probably would've received an at large bid by reaching the semifinal or final of the Big East tourney.

Is the man really wearing Duke blue tighty whiteys? Very on brand for Duke.

Both Edey and Burns like to back their defender into the post and both have the size to move their man. How they react when they can't do so should be interesting. Edey has the length to go over Burns but may be further from the basket than usual. Burns has a lower center of gravity and his quick spins might result in clean shots, but Edey has length to disrupt the shot in less than ideal position.

They were a 3 seed...

Villanova was an 8 seed in 85... that was the lowest rank team to win.

States run ends next game.

Edy vs. Clingman for the marbles

I don't need no Kenny or Bart to tell me NC State is lucky as shit

“Lucky”.

They played hard and played well. That’s not luck. If it was luck, Wake would eventually get it.
