Test failed....good game though.

Wolfpack just pulled one out of their ass

 

[Buenos Necas]

Yep, that was must-win with the next stretch of games coming up...UVA, VT, @UNC, Cuse, @Pitt, @Duke.

I was getting ready to say, "Holy shit, that's a nightmare schedule", but then I looked at other ACC teams. You play in the ACC this year, you're gonna get bruised.

State couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat today.

This game has set basketball back all of the years. But I'll take what looks like a Hokies win on the road without our best player.

24 points is beyond pitiful for basketball LMAO ****ing State gonna State. Did they do the Bird Box Challenge during the game? You can score more points by accident than they got by trying. Thankfully the Panthers, Canes, and Checkers have primed me with years of pitiful underperformance so it just meets my expectations of them.

 

[Canes]

LMAO, 24 points? Was this a middle school game?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Fewest points allowed by Tech since 1946. Fewest points by a D1 team this decade. Fewest points by a ranked team in the shot clock era. Lowest scoring game by two ACC teams in shot clock era.

Upset Tuesday. LSU beats Kentucky, Penn State beats Michigan, Louisville hammering Duke.

Georgia lost because a fan threw a stuffed animal on the court, thus Mississippi State got a free free-throw as a result of a technical foul in a tie game with a second left.

Some people are dumb. Or perhaps very smart if it was a Mississippi State fan in disguise.

 

[Unsustainable]

anyone see the blowout of the dudes shoe last night?

Any idea what the environment of the game was like to that point? If there had been warnings to the crowd or it was a chippy game I can understand the call more. But if not I'd like to think the Refs could look at the game situation and not hand the game over like that.

Yes. Proper result in the game, K thoroughly out coached, ol’ Roy pulls one out again.

I mean... I've been beating the "K has seemingly lost his touch a bit" drum for a couple of seasons now, but losing the best player in college basketball a couple of minutes into a game is going to be rough, regardless of the surrounding talent.

Where K's coaching is inferior to Ol' Roy is he was unable to get his shoe manufacturer to use the substandard glue on the Heels' best player's shoes. Roy made no mistake.

Oh I’m just having a little fun. It WAS interesting how Carolina just kept doing the same thing over and over, and Duke had zero answers.

Unpopular opinion - Zion will be a good pro but definitely nothing special.

Ja Morant plays for Duke?!

Nothing out of the ordinary it sounds like. The refs issued no warning at all and simply awarded MSU with a free-throw.

I don't disagree. Way too many of these guys are being hyped as the next best thing and while a lot of them have talent, they are nowhere near what they were projected to be. Look at Trae "Next Steph Curry" Young. He could turn out to be a great but right now the Hawks look like fools for trading Luka Doncic to get him.

I thought that was a horrible trade from the start. Looks worse and worse as the season goes on. Doncic looks like he has top 10 player potential.

As for Zion, it's so hard to project him as a pro since he's still such a raw player who can get by on athleticism alone. Wouldn't be surprised if he was a bust or top 5 player either way.

Yeah, athleticism along doesn't always translate well into the NBA.
