Told you he was a MCDAA

You forgot that we are farmers, but yes thats the general idea even though we have just as much history as them.

We have had plenty of kids downgraded or kept them same when they should move up when being ours while seeing lesser kids be given a 5th star because they are at UNC or Duke.. Trust me, in the past 20 years no kid who signed with NCSU was given a star or AA status because they chose us. I dont think a kid or that honor should be totally dismissed just like I dont think it means they are automatically a stud either

So is it the fact that you dont have any All Americans that you like to poke fun at it. I believe the only reason his AA status was brought up was becasue you guys were talking about how yall were going to eat his scrub, garbage self alive. You have to have some sort of skill to be one.

We know all about pissing away leads. Our momentum generally lasts for 2 minutes at a time and we will go on an 8-0 spurt to give a 6-0 right back. Sounds like we are similar in a lot of psychological types of ways so it will be interesting for sure

No disrespect intended, but from what Ive seen/heard you guys struggle somewhat on offense so how are you going to get up by 14? I dont think either team will hold a double digit lead and it will come down to who executes the best (or has the least foul trouble) after the under 8

The issue with that is Turner starts and Lee comes in to spell him so it would be one or the other. Turner generally draws the tougher 1-3 on the other team so we will get first crack at least

I am assuming Turner will get primary draw to try to bother him with length at 6'5"/6'6" but I think cat can deter him by just staying in front and drawing a charge to get him second guessing.

He looks like a senior who knows how to play ball (on both ends of the court) and score while taking it to the rim. Should be a tough guard for us. How does he do against a lot of size on the interior? We dont go shorter than 6-8 and go up to essentially 2 7ft centers who love to block shots. FYI we also, we have Cat (our freshman PG) who a lot of people say is one of the premier on the ball defenders in the nation, even as a rookie.

I would say our Zone is more out of foul trouble necessity rather than setting it up to take something from the opponent. If we dont get in foul trouble, I would assume we would be in man 80% or more

Gottcha. I think he will have his chance to take advantage of it then. I think we will rely on length and be in position to rebound rather than double and leave the open guy. We have trouble on the D glass so we need all hands on deck there

No offense, but do you really think Evans holds a candle to parker offensively? We held him to 20 pts using primarily Freeman and Washington so Im not too worried about them having enough difficulty to double down... Now if he is the only one hitting, I dont see why not but its not going to be our first option

i dont think we have truly doubled down on anyone this year, including Jabari Parker. We will play him 1 v 1 with, most likely, Washington/Freeman would be my guess.

Not sure who this Dwayne is but TJ guards very good players and limits them with regulartiy. He is a very underrated defender. For instance, he really handled Rodney Hood (very, very good duke player) to pedestrian numbers while going for 30+ himself.

Hey guys. I was just dropping by to see what you thought and both sides think it should be a close, well contested game. Good Luck. Happy for you guys (and Rick M.) that you were able to finish his vision because he was a solid coach for sure. Question for you guys, you had a phenominal start and then some struggles down the stretch, what happened that caused the lull? Just shots not falling for you?
