I don't understand why NC State is featuring this white post player with Burns sitting

 

[rome8180]

Shot clock violation followed by turnover

 

[deepdarkblue]

NC State is amazing. How did we ever beat them? How did anyone?

 

[deepdarkblue]

@dub_seahawks is making bank

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

This takes even more pressure off for Duke fans. Duke wasn’t beating this NCSU anyway.

 

[rome8180]

Burns's passing is incredible, man. Just made a crosscourt pass to a shooter while completely smothered by a double on the other sideline. Haven't seen many bigs outside of Jokic do something like that.

 

[deepdarkblue]

omg Burns

 

[dukeboy911]

Is NC State actually good?

 

[deepdarkblue]

I wish Flip could spin and score like that

 

[dukeboy911]

Burns wow

 

[rome8180]

Wow, what a move. He's so fun.

 

[bfactor]

He's fucking nasty. Homeless Jokic was kind of a joke, but he's got a seriously unique skillset (2/3 of the time)

 

[dukeboy911]

Actually now not sure if we'd rather play Marquette after this

 

[aiw]

Burns is like a 300 pound ballerina

 

[dukeboy911]

Zion-esque

 

[bfactor]

State is the perfect example of that team that figures it out at the end of the season, becomes good, and there's not enough tape of the "good" version for opponents to game plan

 

[dukeboy911]

I'm guessing we want Gonzaga to beat Purdue

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I’m rooting against Duke at this point. We would be depriving people of a Houston vs. NC State rematch for all time, and Duke would be humiliated by an 11 seed. Why would we want this?

 

[dukeboy911]

Not sure if we have anyone who could shut down Kolek, but if we do, perhaps I'm switching allegiances for this game.

 

[rome8180]

Well, that was fucking dumb. The shot wasn't going to be close.
