Disappointing response from Hubert when he was asked if there's anything to be learned from this game.

It's just who he is. We do what we do, no matter what. I guess he's never going to try to be a more strategic coach and seek to exploit specific match up advantages. Just roll the ball out there and hope my guys are better than their guys.

I wouldn't even consider that trash talk. It's soft and you're having a fit over it.

State will probably lose by 20 in the first round and fatty will have 6 points on 2-13 shooting. We just didn't match their energy tonight. They wanted it more and that's what's embarrassing.

For someone that said they didn't care about winning the tournament, you're taking the L badly. As you said, State wanted it more and they handled business unlike the Heels. They, like their fans, seemed to think the game was in the bag before it was even played.

You don't get it. I don't care about the ACC tourney. I care about losing to state.

I'm not a big college basketball guy but NC State palpably had something going into that game, you could feel it.  UNC seemed kind of loose in the pre game whereas NC State looked torqued up to about 11.

I don't doubt that State was hyped up for the game. It was the closest they had come to winning any sort of title in years. And they pulled out the win.

That's what Carolina has to be ready for every time they play state and I really don't think they get it.

The rivalry is just one way now and has been for many years. State should be embarrassed by that and the fact that they’ve all become Duke fans since their program has been trash since the 80’s. I would love for State to be relevant, it’s good for UNC and the ACC as a whole, but the fact is they are a worse program than many mid majors and they should be ashamed. The ACC title game was their national championship. UNC should have been ready for that. Embarrassing loss to a bad team and bad program with a 1 seed potentially on the line.

The ACC program I kinda miss being relevant is Wake. Those were some great games.

Idk what the guys in pre game were saying, just telling you the facts. Like yeah UNC was a projected 1 seed going into the game, that doesn’t mean that can’t change with a bad loss and a huge win from a team they are otherwise neck and neck with. The only thing they had on Iowa State before tonight was one less loss. Give that up in a loss to a non tourney team what do they have?

You were saying?  Iowa State’s non-conference schedule was shet

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
