I hear that Coach K's back is starting to tighten up

Wolfpack just pulled another one against Clemson out of their ass.

Just win the whole damn thing at this point.

That's NC State...

 

[RodTheBawd]

No, State is typically on the other end of these finishes. But, this team has enough talent that these games shouldn't even be close. MJ just hasn't been the same since that injury.

I heard Lori Loughlin's kid was on that team. Damn, she never seems to show up for big games.

Virginia is about to Riverdance all over NC State's face...

State could win.... After all UMBC did... But I wouldn't place any money on it... I'd bet on UVA.

I have on my NC State shirts today at work at Duke.






We will lose.

Early in the season, State looked like they could beat anyone. Now, they look like they can lose to anyone; they're just too inconsistent. Hoping all of this reverse jinx shit pans out.

Sorry to my friends who are NCSU fans....grew up about 45 minutes from Charlottesville and have been a Hoos fan forever. Didn't tune in until the 2nd half so I missed State's lead. Anyway, I also felt State was better than their record showed.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Beat Clemson...leading UVA at halftime...lose by 20 ****ING POINTS...that is a microcosm of NC State athletics

 

[HisIceness]

Thats what Virginia does, they clamp down 2nd half if they're down. I mean they do that anyways but thats their style.

 

[Brock Anton]

Get us off that bubble.

Assistant coach at Georgia Tech took recruits to a strip club in Atlanta, gave them cash to spend there as well. Nice.

And then they put up 69 points....am I doing this right?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Love me some UNC-Duke. Outstanding game so far.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Tied at 44 at the half

Great game so far

 

[HisIceness]

My grandfather went to Duke for grad school and I went to football games (and yes they sucked back then so tickets were plenty) and the occasional basketball game around Thanksgiving or Christmas against West Southeastern State Tech of Eastern Louisiana. Cameron Indoor is a fun experience if you've never been.

Therefore I root for Duke in this matchup and I hope the Blue Devils prevail to victory.

 

[Wolfpuck]

That was one hell of a game.

 

[HisIceness]

Way to go Duke!

Duke wins the ACC. 15th conference crown for Coach K

So I'm coming home from the Red Bulls game and I'm exiting Penn Station when I see a guy at the top desperately trying to sell a ticket to the Seton Hall-Nova Big East Championship Final. Ask the guy how much he wants for it and he says make me a reasonable offer. I tell him I've only got $40 in cash on me and he says how about $50 and I accept and tell him I'll go to the Chase ATM and get him the extra $10. Face value was $100 so I got a good deal. My friends who were at the Red Bulls game with me also went but they paid $78 per ticket on TixPick (who I highly recommend because they have no fees). So on a total whim I ended up at the Big East title game. What the hell, may as well live my life to the fullest!

 

[HisIceness]

Good stuff. I miss the old Big East Tournament with Pitt, Syracuse, West Virginia, Georgetown, UConn, etc. That was great basketball.

 

[Dishface]

NC State didnt make the dance with a 22-11 record. Too many bad losses I guess.

Duke picked as overall top seed in March Madness
The return of Zion Williamson has worked wonders for the Duke Blue Devils.
The phenomenal freshman led Duke to the ACC Tournament title on Saturday night. On Sunday, the NCAA selection committee rewarded the Blue Devils with the No. 1 overall seed in this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
Williamson missed five games after wrenching his knee when his Nike sneaker blew out in a regular-season game against archrival North Carolina last month. He appeared to be plenty healthy in the ACC tournament, averaging 27 points and 10 rebounds while making 33 of 43 shots in Duke's three games while becoming the only the sixth freshman in the event's 66-year history to win MVP honors and the first in a dozen years.
The Blue Devils were joined on the top line by ACC rivals Virginia, who earned the top seed in the South region; and North Carolina, which received the top seed in the Midwest region -- the first year since 2009 that three teams from the same conference received No. 1 seeds.
