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.

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.

And it begins. fug any Heels fan that ever feels any mercy toward that team.

 

 

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

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
