Monday games: ND @ NC State, Oregon @ OSU

[triaddukefan]

NC State always does a good job with their Yow game... recognizing Cancer Survivors at halftime by bringing them on the court. The State team always plays extra inspired during these games...... I remember a few years back a ranked Duke had to play them on Play4Kay day..... they beat the brakes off of the Devils

I’m interested in the future of NC State. They bring in two 5* in 2019 in Jakia Brown-Turner and Jada Boyd, plus they already have a 4* 2020 F Elle Sutphin. Future seems bright in Raleigh.

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Keep play NC State BB. A great deal of fans rooting for you to win.

This is second NC St game I have watched, they have one fan you hear over everyone. He must have a megaphone!

Is it DannyK’s cousin?

Very bright indeed. Wes Moore has distinguished himself, and his recruiting hauls are starting to reflect that.

They'll lose Leslie and Rogers. Hopefully Ealey and Hunter will both come back.

No offense to LetterL.... but hopefully they will go back to being the #2 team in the Triangle... again.... no offense to LetterL

Ealey already used a RS year to injury..... not sure if she could get a 6th year or not.

I think people underestimate the impact Leslie has had on this team, her loss with be big.

Well, okay...as long as the Blue Bellies over in Chapel Hill stay third!

 

[MilfordHusky]

That's really it. Notre Dame is beatable if you can make them play half-court offense and half-court defense. You will not win an up-and-down game with Shepard throwing outlets to Young and Ogunbowale.

When NC State holds onto the ball and gives Cunane time to go to work, they are very successful. I'll be interested to see how Muffet tries to handle her in the 2nd half.

Cat noted that a couple of weeks ago. Don’t let them get into transition, much like UConn.

According to her bio, she was a true freshman in 2015-16. Assuming she got a waiver for her freshman year (when her season ended on Nov. 20), she would now be in her 3rd year of eligibility.

Well according to the halftime panel, we don't even need to play the second game of the double header. OSU has no chance. It's almost like the 2 teams didn't just play and OSU hung tough in Eugene.

Yes...she will be missed. But what would our season have been if our expected point guard had played even one game...and if Grace Hunter had not been injured.

 

[Vowelguy]

Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, this Notre Dame team has overall been such a disappointment in my book. Could've gone down as one of the best teams of all time. But they only show up about half the time. Clearly too mentally weak to handle the burden of being the overwhelming favorite.

I too did think they could/would be a dominating undefeated team. So regular season yes has been a disappointment.
But if they end up winning it all, it wont matter.

Yes, very astute on her part. Worth repeating, I'd say.

Yes but I've said this every year lately with State. Two years ago they had a very senior-dominated team led by Spencer and Wilson that nearly made the Sweet 16. I thought they'd take a big step back last year, but they actually did even better, earned a hosting spot and made the Sweet 16.

 

[Crazyhorse]

Who knows? The season is not over yet, but with only two losses at this juncture and all the players ya'll have injured I'd say the the basketball gods are smiling on Raleigh.

 

[LETTERL]

Back-to-back THREEs by Leslie and Cunane make it a 45-44 game.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Love how fearless State is playing

 

[nwhoopfan]

That's gotta be at least 4 possessions where NC State could've taken a lead, and it's been fruitless each time. Gotta take advantage of those.

Oh wow... well in that case. State may be good again next year......

Never in my life have I ever cheered for Notre Dame, nor will I ever. Go Wolfpack!

Turnovers are killing NC State

NC State back to making everything from deep.
