Hyrule Bass Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 in typical philly sports fashion, they play down to the level of he competition and then can't get the job done. I still think Villanova is a good team but geez guys, get to the sweet sixteen already. dont honestly see how you can say villanova played down to the level of the competition. NC State is a much better team than you think, but you have to watch them enough to know that. we simply just beat yall, at every aspect of the game. we limited your 3 point opportunities until late in the game. we played more physical than yall and set a tone in the paint, whether with our big guys off the pass, or with our back court driving in for layups. mark gottfried had the perfect game plan to counteract that version of press defense yall tried playing. yall shoot an insane amount of threes. if yall "played down" to us, the score wouldve been a lot lower too. nc state is a team that likes to work the pass, move the ball around and set up their shots. not afraid to run down the shot clock if they can control the game. Nova ran into a buzz saw and got outplayed and outcoached...i'll give you this, Villanova are a good team. they had me nervous down the stretch, that hilliard guy started nailing 3s left and right. NC State, well they love to pull off the upset and they play great team ball, everyone does something well and has a role. Villanova was a #1 seed for a reason, wont argue that, but last night NC State was the better team... 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 I have watched NC State quite a bit and by playing down to the level of competition is that they played soft and allowed NC State to dictate the game which should not have happened. Even with how poorly they played they still had it tied with what, less than a minute to play. I totally agree that NC state played better last night for sure. It was a bad matchup from a styles perspective too and i almost picked NC state to win in my bracket but i just couldn't do it lol guess i should have though Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 actually i dont recall it being tied at all late, yall never got within 3 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted March 23, 2015 Super User Posted March 23, 2015 Red, HOW 'BOUT THAT WOLFPACK! i figured i would find something like this when i got on here today.... that was one heck of a game from the pack! 4 ACC teams left, 3 of them from North Carolina.... If my heels and the pack see the elite 8 it may be nothing short of a miracle! but Duke may be headed to the big dance for real... 2 Quote

Is this correct? that is correct, louisville vs nc state and as a serious life long heels fan, it hurts to pay duke compliments..... but d**n it they are solid this year aside from a couple shaky games (nc state regular season/notre dame acc tournament) Quote

Nova should have won that game,but they just played incredibly bad early on.They came to life a bit late. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 27, 2015 Author Super User Posted March 27, 2015 Geez, UK & WV ... One foul call every 48 seconds, no flow at all on this game. Kentucky is winning easily, but what a horrific group of referee's Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Its a plague they suffer Nova should have won that game,but they just played incredibly bad early on.They came to life a bit late. Oh, so give no credit to NC States defense for stifling them and forcing them to work the ball instead of just launching threes on nearly half their shots. If Nova shouldve won they wouldve won. It wasnt one of those games where the team who played better lost still by some chance. NC State has a solid team, has beat some solid teams, and outplayed Villanova. You will see that tonite vs Louisville i hope. in the regular season NC State knocked off an undefeated #2 at the time Duke team. a #9 Louisville team in Louisville. also a #14 or 15, i forget, team in UNC at Chapel Hill. All quality wins right there. Also played close games vs other highly ranked teams. Also, another fact is, the ACC is just a better overall and tougher conference than the Big East. they may not always have the best team(s) in the country every year, but as a whole the ACC is and has been the best conference in college basketball for a long long time. The bracket makers dont look at it like this, but the best team in the Big East is like the equivalent of being the 6th or 7th team in the ACC...Maybe my beloved NC State Wolfpack goes down tonite, but to say Villanova shouldve won is kind of insulting...

Super User gardnerjigman Posted March 27, 2015 Super User Posted March 27, 2015 Well this is awkward.... Yah, was a rough game. We had a bad game, and Notre Dame was on theirs. Can't win a game in that equation. Everyone has a bad game, just sucks ours came in the tournament.... Oh well, we still spanked KU Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 29, 2015 Author Super User Posted March 29, 2015 Shew wee.. Kentucky & Notre Dame! I need to go the ER and have my heart monitored.. Wow what a game, Go Big Blue!!!! Quote
Big C Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Shew wee.. Kentucky & Notre Dame! I need to go the ER and have my heart monitored.. Wow what a game, Go Big Blue!!!! No more Indiana teams left feels like the tourny is over. Kinda wish Grant didn't take the last four shots (all super long threes). Still great game. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 29, 2015 Super User Posted March 29, 2015 Kensucky's win over the Fighting Irish was identical to their win over the LSU Fighting Tigers. Don't know if Kensucky's luck will continue with the cream of the crop on the agenda but it will be fun to see what transpires. Stay tuned. Will be a more fun on the horizon. Quote
