Davis is a great college player but I don't think he has the size to be an NBA player. That said, I also wouldn't be surprised to see him get at least one NBA contract as a 3 and D guy coming off the bench because the NBA always wants scoring.

He's absolutely not an NBA player but I could see him having a long successful international career.

Well, we gave 'em hell for 30 minutes. I think we have to be happy with that. That's the new state of Carolina basketball. From competing for titles to hoping to compete with top teams and maybe get lucky and sneak into the tourney. That's the new reality. Hubert has turned us into NCSU.

This game is also showing the downside of the modern game, too many 3s. If you're knocking them down, the game is too easy. If you're missing and keep jacking them up, you shoot yourself out of the game.

Been trending this way for years. Growing up college basketball was by far and away my favorite sport. I've been pretty Carolina only for over a decade now with my college basketball watching. I used to NEVER miss a Carolina basketball game and in recent years I always miss several games. It's just less of a priority for me now. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably a decade. The sport is just a shadow of itself now. That's why Armando Bacot is my favorite player in recent years. The type of old school hard nosed big man that just doesn't really exist in the modern game.

Bill Laimbeer would be banned from the modern NBA lol.  It's terrible.  Bring back the 90s rules.

I remember Phil Jackson saying 15 years ago that Michael Jordan would've averaged 50 a game in the league at that point and the game has gotten exponentially softer since then.

I am still disappointed in the Hubert extension.  The team is mostly a three point shooting offense and the defense has no ingenuity at times.  It feels like he doesn’t understand his or the other team’s strengths or weaknesses much at all.  Frustrating cuz there is some talent but he is out recruited consistently too

It was an idiotic move. He should've been on the hot seat and gets a big extension instead.

Meanwhile, a year after going to the Final Four NCSU fired Kevin Keatts.

That was a fluke run just like Hubert’s run to the Championship game his first year.  Granted State has sucked balls for decades so the 1st real success they had enough lol

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
