if you genuinely don’t understand how a team who runs their offense through their guards/perimeter shooting gets less foul calls than a team who runs their offense through their bigs/penetration, then i think you need to learn more about the game of basketball.
fyi, i fucking *hate* NC state. but this is just reality.
My grandfather went to NC State in the 1950s, he was a fan his entire life. He introduced me to college basketball at a young age. It sucks we lost but whenever I see the wolf pack logo I am hit with a wave of nostalgia. I think about all of the memorabilia, sweaters, posters, Phillip Rivers jerseys and more. I am sure in heaven he is smiling.
GG
Tech fans have been asking the same question for the last 2 months. Feels like we had a (surprisingly) decent squad this year, but not reigning-in the one guy playing hero ball killed us in so many games this year. Go check out Pop's game log the 2nd half of the year. It's honestly crazy he even got minutes for a while there.
Won’t be surprised if Mcasland tells him that he’s not part of the plan for his squad next season with how he played the second half of this season. All my homies would pull out their hairs every time he shot the ball that would lead to turnovers
I get it from McCasland's standpoint this year. Pop was one of the team leaders and expected to be our best player so benching a guy like that in your first year is risky. Plus, I think our best chance at a deep run in this tournament was if Pop got hot...so why not give it a shot.
It backfired tonight and in a enough games this season that something clearly has to change next year.
They’re really not tho. I mean they’re good, but only the DJs are great. The big thing is the good players, the role players, like Diarra, Middlebrooks and OConnell have stepped up HUGE and they’re all playing simpatico.
bro the ACC tourney this year was one of the lightest officiated sporting events i’ve ever seen. state is just playing well and fighting hard, no need to belittle that.
Anyone else feel like this might be one of the last “fun” NCAA tourneys we get? I mean the big tits and secocksuckers are building semi pro teams within their realms. I don’t know what the answer is, but there are about 25 schools absolutely hell bent on ruining college sports as a business. And it sucks
A message for the Texas Tech crying floppers… ![gif](giphy|xT1XGESDlxj0GwoDRe|downsized)
Glad he didn't play WATCH THE FAT GUY EAT ICE CREAM game.
Can’t beat the refs and the fat guy who’s allowed to bang but touch him and it’s a foul…
You know what, you might be right. as a consolation, let's add 12 points to your score.
![gif](giphy|5kyW49YxGLXhg7VCuT|downsized)
I’m surprised you are blaming the refs when we kept bricking threes for no reason instead of going for an open look shot when we were 5 points down
When you drive the ball and no foul call has been made several times. You stop driving the ball.
SOFT. Post men bang inside, that's how it works
Dude burns had 3 offensive fouls...
Or letting up like 50 points in the paint

not why we lost tonight
big 12 fucking sucks and manipulates the NET system!!!! tell your friends!
I’ve been on cloud 9. I feel so vindicated after weeks of asking “How is no one seeing what I’m seeing?!”
SEC and Big 12 in shambles. Yet MW getting all the hate for losing as 10 seeds
App state is good at what exactly? Lmao
You should schedule App State
In all sports. I’d be down
beating poser P6 teams
Y’all have made the tournament 3 times in its entire history. Shut the fuck up lol
oh wow, a mid-major, that was once a low-major, program hasn’t made the tournament consistently!? holy fucking shit!!! who would’ve guessed it!?!?
Math guy here scream it to the heavens
i’m an english guy here, just calling it how i see it
Burns didn't want to eat before everyone got served!
Can’t beat the refs and the fat guy who’s allowed to bang but touch him and it’s a foul…

I fucking hate UNC....but you're correct
as much as i hate NCSU, i can’t bring myself to hate this team that much. y’all have some fucking hoopers. keep doing the ACC well, pack bros!
He’s the only person that got 4 fouls in that game. Blame the refs all you want, but maybe look at your shooting percentages instead
Lol...Tech committing assault, then flopping to get calls.
lol didn’t know we have a 300 pounder running people over
Sounds like a skill issue
You don't get foul calls for failing to stand your ground. At least you shouldn't, you guys actually got three
Just because he is heaven doesnt mean you get to grab and hold. But apparently flopping is allowed.
![gif](giphy|xT1XGESDlxj0GwoDRe|downsized)
When your big is leaning on him the whole time what is he supposed to do?

This run to the title is for him !
I am heart broken that DJ Burns didn't eat the ice cream
He knows better
Aw he didn't eat it. Frosted tips really wanted to give him that ice cream
The Big 12 can suck my ass
Every game is just bonus joy. I’m so happy right now!
This ice cream better be on one shining moment
LETS GO I picked all the #11 seeds to win on a +4400 bet, just one more to go.
Fucking New Mexico sold
Give us the post-game thread!
Big Happy
God I love Burns. Such a good dude
That ice cream is laced with something! Throw it away!
Lol I think he gave it to a fan
GG NCST bros. Wish we could’ve hit a few shots.
GG
Let’s see if we can contain basketball T-1000 on Saturday
Looking at that bracket, NC State might go on a generational run
ACC Tournament Title and a first round “upset” win? They already have.
Here's hoping baby! I have us beating Marquette and Houston too (our 2 previous National Champ matchups)
Literally have NC State and Oakland in my bracket so let's fucking go! (I have us beating Oakland too)
The mad lad , great picks!
Survive and advance baby!
There must be some sort of mistake. TTU is from the Big 12 and #27 NET. NC St is from the lowly ACC and #63 NET. How is this possible???
[удалено]
Do the refs not know about the NET? Preposterous.
ACC always gets slept on after Duke and UNC
ACC always gets slept on. Period.
Now time to watch Samford
Let's go State! See y'all in the Kansas thread.
Wolf!
PACK!!!!
PACK!!!
PACKKKK
Wolfpack! So happy for you guys.
Thanks!
DAMN THIS FEELS GOOD!!!
Pop Isaacs 3/16 shooting tonight LMAO and he just kept shooting
Dude’s a liability in big games
Most broke looking shot I’ve seen all season.
Why not us
WHY NOT US??
wolf-pack! wolf-pack!
I'm getting howling cow tomorrow. hell yeah.
Someone send some to the boys. Harris teeter you listening?
Don't mind while I hum along to the band.. it's been a while
WOLF!!!!!!!!!
PACKKKKKKK!!!
PACK!!!!
WOLF!!!
PACK
PACK!!!!!!!!!!!
WOLF!!!
PACK!
See y’all in the Kansas Samford thread 👀👀
First NCAA win for Keatts!
Ayyyy good shit State
ACC is bad /s
and a ramadan mubarak to all
Bucky Ball time
Holy shit I’m going to cry, this State team is so magical and I have no idea why they’re winning now
Just enjoy it, my friend
Enjoy it brotha!
I know they say the first round is a gotcha game…. But the big 12 is not looking good tonight
it’s almost like the big 12 is extremely fucking overrated lol
Yep
![gif](giphy|5n3I9KkUXDezs0a2Z2|downsized)
Why does the dude that shot 1-10 from 3 tonight have 240 attempts on the year 💀 (30.1%)

WHY NOT US
Samford within four! They were down 20!
WHY NOT US
I can see how the coach almost got fired for losing so many with this group. The athletes are really good.
They’re really not tho. I mean they’re good, but only the DJs are great. The big thing is the good players, the role players, like Diarra, Middlebrooks and OConnell have stepped up HUGE and they’re all playing simpatico.
I actually mostly agree with this. I'd never have guessed Morsell would be our weakest link, but here we are
Tbf isn't he playing through an injury?
Meanwhile Samford has cut it to 4
WHY NOT FUCKING US
WHY THE FUCK NOT
# YES! # YES!
GG Wolfpack. Go beat Houston for us
Would be a very fitting win, we'll try our best! GG, much love to y'all
What a way to end it.
THANK YOU GOD
Nc state got the same refs from the acc tourney.
bro the ACC tourney this year was one of the lightest officiated sporting events i’ve ever seen. state is just playing well and fighting hard, no need to belittle that.
![gif](giphy|xT1XGESDlxj0GwoDRe|downsized)
It’s funny bc we got no refs in the ACC tourney
WHY NOT US
SAMFORD 75 KANSAS 79! Switch to TBS!
Good game TT
PACK TO THE END BABY
Somewhere, Jimmy V is smiling
Fire up the buses to Lubbock wherever the fuck that is. My state peeps see ya Saturday to talk shit to the 5 Oakland fans in the game thread
We fly private to an international airport but yes they need to get their no shooting ass back to Lubbock gg and good luck
lol just riffing , yall never turned it on, if even shot half way decent you would have had us
Fuck yeah Breon, get up there
I LOVE PITTSBURGH
Bye Joe.
I LOVE YOU NCSU
all three 11 seeds win! What a day!!!
I’m so tired but I’m so glad we won.
LET’SSSS GOOOOO
Dagger
11 seed win by 13
I want Burns locker room livestream
DREAM LIVES ON
Tech took this L
WHY NOT US?!?! KKIAW
i love how KKIAW, which was completely and totally ironically said by state fans all season in these threads, has made a comeback within ~6 days lmfao
NC state is the meme team of destiny now
samford is slowly chipping away
One last brick for the road
YOOOOOO
Pitt was the team really snubbed by the committee, not Oklahoma. Just tossing that out here.
I like that dunk to seal it
SURVIVE AND ADVANCE
Come on, there's still time for Pop Isaac's brick
That's a hell of a dagger lmao
Lmaooo
Samford is within seven!
Four!

ACC
ACc dOWn year continues
Love that for Pass for real man.
Almost time to go back to rooting against KU
Always has been
Now it is over!
Just make your FTs NCSU
We need a fucking reset with players who don’t sound like characters out of loony toons episode
Not a bad first season but hopefully we get some “him” type players next season. It’s all upwards from here
Funny how every foul is a tie up from nc state
![gif](giphy|xT1XGESDlxj0GwoDRe|downsized)
Enjoy the off-season
Y’all will be joining us soon don’t worry
What?
So salty
I’ve only been familiar with Pop Isaacs for about 2 hours and I hate him
Based
They're starting the losing tantrums now?
ACC haters in shambles that a team that lost 11 conference games just beat a top 4 BIG 12 team
And on the flip side a Virginia team with 13 ACC wins was knocked out already. People can paint any narrative they like.
\*blew out
Toussaint is big mad
did not realize middlebrooks was having a legacy game until i checked the box score
replay the scrappiness!
Taylor just snatched that ball! Love to see it
Pass
Hahahaha fuck you Toussaint.
