Game Thread [2021-22] NC State at Duke

[aiw]

"We tried something towards the end of the game with five guys on the court..."--K

Five Guys is almost always a good call, but on the basketball court?

A single order of their fries could probably cover the court.

On the other hand, given their prices I'm not sure if even Duke has the athletic budget for it.

The game was s lot of fun today. Assumed we were going to lose when there was 2 minutes left though. MW is freakishly tall. The size difference between State and Duke was insane.

 

[rome8180]

Watching now. No wonder we couldn't get any rebounds. Their entire team is like Usain fucking Bolt out there. It's like the only thing Keatts looked for when recruiting was speed.

I guess it helps when your average weight is 90 pounds.

 

[rome8180]

I have zero doubt they would have destroyed us at State. They look infinitely quicker. We couldn't keep their lead guard out of the lane at all.

 

[rome8180]

This is exactly the type of team we should have a zone for.

 

[rome8180]

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME SO MANY FUCKING 2PT JUMPERS AGAINST US. They won't make a single one against UNC.

 

[rome8180]

Thankfully being the fastest team in the history of organized sports doesn't help their defense at all.

@Kevin if you‘re reading. Wtf bro?

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Also Duke scored on a layup on this possession so not sure what you even told them.

 

[rome8180]

Pastner did the same shit.

Cameron Indoor is famous for its spacious bench areas, so not sure why any coach would need to venture out onto the playing floor.

 

[Thain]

My friend and I were saying the same thing. I just assumed Keats was going to jump in and play.

When will the coach of a Division 1 team become the Woody Hayes of college basketball? I'm thinking that would be a good way for Boeheim to go out. Can't rule out K, he's still got a few months of opportunities left.

 

[rhfarmer]

We already had Bob Knight.
