Despite my dislike for NCSt, I can’t say I’m disappointed to see Bacot get abused by Burns with those ridiculous chest bumps pushing his way to the basket like he does to others but can’t take it from good old DJ. Burns has great footwork and balance for a guy his size and his ability to exploit double teams with his passing is great. How did we beat them twice and Maliq not have a permanent concave chest?hmmmm... burns only with 2 fouls deep in the 2nd half...hmmm...refs seem to be swallowing whsitels thus far...hmmmmm
wonder why
Brown played him pretty tough especially stealling the ball in the first few games.Despite my dislike for NCSt, I can’t say I’m disappointed to see Bacot get abused by Burns with those ridiculous chest bumps pushing his way to the basket like he does to others but can’t take it from good old DJ.

So I guess we can say now that you have officially come out of the closet?I have always been a closet NC State fan, as living in NC for 5 years I quickly got tired of all the "its either Duke or NC" crap going on. State always being placed in a severe underdog role always made me root harder for them. That being said, they haven't always fielded the most likable teams, but I am happy that they played their way in after they beat us.
Doesn’t seem to be much reward for challenging your team in tough preseason tournaments if losing hurts your NCAA chances so much almost 6 months later.our ncaa chances died on the vine in december when we got drilled by tennessee gonzaga and then virginia. Net soared to like 120 and you really cant recover from that.
sadly thats been the kryptonite the past few seasons. I miss going 11-1 in the non conference
Its not even the fact that we lost those 3 games. Its that we got absolutely drilled in those 3 games which crushes your numbers. Throw in the chaminade game which was basically an exhibition game and you have a recipe for disaster.Doesn’t seem to be a reward for challenging your team in tough preseason tournaments if losing hurts your NCAA chances so much almost 6 months later.
Or almost as many ACCT wins as us in the past 11 years……….

Agreed but its reality sadly in todays systemThe Tennessee game falls apart under 4 - it's absurd that a coach has to think about the NET in that part of the game / season. NCAA version of FAFSA...
Schools benefit in many ways from scheduling good non-conference opponents and playing in early season tournaments like Maui. Coaches learn the strengths and weaknesses of their team and it prepares them for the long season ahead. The thing which hurts your NCAA chances is not building a quality resume. Maui didn't hurt our tournament chances. What killed our NCAA resume was defeating only one quality opponent the entire season. UNC is the only team we beat that would have gotten an at-large bid this year.Doesn’t seem to be much reward for challenging your team in tough preseason tournaments if losing hurts your NCAA chances so much almost 6 months later.
thats still an extra bidNot so sure about that. FWIW, based upon what transpired tonight with State and Oregon being bid stealers, Lunardi now has UVA on the outside looking in. If that's the case, it appears the 4 ACC bids are 3 NC schools and Clemson.
