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.

Davis must really want to win this one. He's giving it his all

Talked too nice about Davis evidently

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.

Team just isn't good enough. Especially by Carolina standards

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
