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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
