Wow. Not far off from my prediction above (5.5), but I expect to cream them again!

Gotta be difficult from a coaching perspective to get everyone to lock in against a team you’ve already beaten handily twice

I think I’d bet hoos to cover (by more than 4.5) or NC State to win

I think we match up very well with them; I don’t think we just got lucky twice.

That said, things can change, and they’ll be highly motivated to avenge the two beatdowns.

I think the path to them beating us is simple - they shoot 3’s well and we don’t. #analysis

Agreed; Brian Geisinger hit this pretty well in a postgame pod with one of the NC State-focused media people after the 2nd game:

He calls out:

  • De Ridder can handle Darrion Williams without any help
  • Multiple big perimeter guys to put on Copeland and take away his bully-ball drives
  • Drop coverage matches up well with NC State’s desire to get downhill on ball screens and has taken away Lubin’s roll finisher opportunities
  • Bench depth

Hoos by 8.

NC State will come out swinging and likely hit us in the mouth. They’ll be more ready at tip bc they played today.

We’ll begin to pull away once we get our legs. They don’t match-up well with us. Confident this game will be close early and then we begin to pull away in the second half.

Hoos by 9

Nc State scored 19 and 20 in their two first halves against us. If they can keep it remotely competitive by halftime then it’s a different game with them

Early on, rest = rust for us. Then we settle into the game.

Today is the day we vanquish the Wolfpack menace for good

Using this meme because it really does feel like we threw them into the depths of a soon to be destroyed space station the last 2 outings

I don’t miss him a bit

NC State has had our number in the ACC tournament. Today would be cool to reverse that fortune. Playing a team for the third time and them getting a day up of competitive ball to keep them sharp might lead to a closer 1st half than the past two games but we will see.

Cant afford a poor shooting outing today
