Bring on NCST

[theu51]

Great win tonight. Showed a ton of resiliance. Shane is a STUD if people didn't realize that already. Loved what I saw out of Gamble today, played to his strenghts. He isn't going to show much in the boxscore but added great intangibles. Kenny played well at end after doing nothing.

Now onto the huge challenge SAT. I'd sign up to split the @NCST and @DUKE Games, that'd be good.

Thoughts on what the spread will be?

 

[CaneDaddy]

I dont want to split ****. Keep ******* rolling.

I hope NC State gets -10 or some ****. People still dont believe.

 

[CaniacMike21]

Lorenzo Brown is questionable for the game.

 

[theu51]

I'd guess NCST -2 but I'm no expert. Cane Daddy. You gotta realize how tough it is to win on the road. Yes we are 4-0 in acc play but this is a big step up in talent. Duke will also want blood after our throttling of them

 

[CaneShades]

bring on the paper champs! I want this win badly.

I am fully aware and I have seen it across the ACC and other leagues all season. However, this team has what it takes to keep rolling. Our defense is stellar and as long as we hit some shots, we are going to very, very tough to beat. I will take the three-headed monster of Gamble, RJ, and Kadji against any front-court in America. I dont even need to mention our back court and wings if they are hot.

We roll.

WE HAVE NEVER WON IN RALEIGH in the ACC. Never. It's the only ACC city where we have yet to win. We've won at Duke, we've won at UNC (twice). Never at NC State. I want this one, and I want it badly.

 

[Dandycane]

Our guys look like they are enjoying playing D as much as they do on the attack.

Coach L has really mind ****ed these guys in the best way.

 

[OrangeCane]

Honestly? I'd rather beat NC State in Raleigh this year than Duke in Cameron Indoor (although, of course, I'd want to win both). Why? CBS. Everyone will be watching, minus the small part of the northeast who are getting the Georgetown-St. John's game.

 

[BigPoppaCane]

THAT GAME IS GON B BANANAS

 

[K2Cane]

They way this team can adjust at half time is insane. If we can have the lead at half we should be good. seems like we always break teams in the first 4 min of the 2nd.

Just read a write up of the game and the guy predicted NC St. to win, close, but said a win by Miami would be more impressive than the Duke win.

really?? they think NCST is a better team then Duke? I feel like EVERY ACC win will be bigger than the other just because it's just bumps us further ahead then the next team behind us in the standings.

No, but NC State in Raleigh might be tougher than Duke in Coral Gables.

Random, but I was talking about this with a buddy last night. Does anyone remember that game we lost in Raleigh like 5 years ago where Anthony King turned over an inbounds pass in the last 10 seconds to lose the game? I still have nightmares about it.

Yes, unfortunately we got Darius Riced. We also lost one when a guy hit a 35 foot 3 at the buzzer

 

[CaneInTheHouse]

Winning Saturday will be huge. First, like NS said, we haven't done it before. Second, like OC said, it's on CBS. Lastly, we get by these guys and the team stays healthy, i think we only lose 2 at worst the rest of the way.

Any ACC road game is a battle. Can't assume wins no matter who the team is. Now home games are a different story.....

I had repressed that game from my memory until now.

We never seem to play well in Raleigh, but this team is full of road warriors. I have confidence that, win or lose, they'll at least be ready to play.

Canes win by 10/ruthlessness.
