It would be fun to watch Note Dame lose

 

[triaddukefan]

Lets go State... boffa them

 

[SECbbfan24]

That behind the back pass was so lucky lol

 

[LETTERL]

Elissa Cunane with 8 points already...timeout Notre Dame. 4:54 left 1st quarter...Irish leading, 12-10.

 

[Plebe]

This is the first game of the season where NC State has been an underdog.

Elissa Cunane has started well, already with 8 points.

 

[DaBball]

Cunane has been, IMO, the premier 2018 steal.

I know, but sometimes you get lucky when you save the ball under your own bucket.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That behind the back pass was so lucky lol

I thought so too, but the replay seemed to reveal that she had a pretty good idea where her teammate was. That was a heck of a play.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Drinking game: take a shot every time they show a replay of Arike's game winner. My bet, you'd be under the table by the time the game is over.

Everyone made such a big deal last year about Notre Dame's injury travails, but NC State's have been far worse this year, losing 3 starters including their leading scorer.

You would never know watching them play today

They look good so far

Yes, but just think how good they could be with Grace Hunter and the Erika Cassell.

They're in this game thanks to hot 3-point shooting. But I fear it'll be very hard to stay that hot and maintain scoreboard pressure while also avoiding foul trouble.

Cunane has been, IMO, the premier 2018 steal.

Not sure what all schools that were recruiting her... but I know she is studying to be a VET...... so State made sense.

End of 1st quarter...Notre Dame holding a 23-21 lead.

NC State with three THREEs.

Do you get tired of posting this every time there is a Notre Dame game? You complain about the shot almost as many times as they show it.

Losing Ealey at PG really hurts.. Koenig can play the point... but she is much better off the ball. I was thinking the Clemson coach would run away with the ACC coach of the year... but if State can somehow finish in the top 3 in the league... Moore might get it.

Cunane's parents went to NC State...and she has wanted to play for NC State her whole life. Noone else was ever going to get Cunane except NC State.

End of 1st quarter...Notre Dame holding a 23-21 lead.

NC State with three THREEs.

Much closer than I expected go Wolfpack!

 

[MSGRET]

If these officials had been calling the UConn - UCF game yesterday, at least two of their player's would be on the bench with 2 to 3 fouls in the first quarter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Almost, but not quite. You can modify the drinking game to taking a shot every time I complain about it.

NC State had to beat out some of the best programs in the country for Cunane. She held early offers from NC State, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia Tech, and Virginia among others before picking the Wolfpack.​

​

"I had a top five of NC State, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest," she stated. "I visited all the campuses and went to games at all the schools before making my decision."​

​

NC State appealed to Cunane for a variety of reasons.​

​

"School-wise it's great because I want to be a Veterinarian and State has a great Vet school," she said. "It's close to home, and I really like the players. I've been to games and I was there a couple of weeks ago when they beat Duke. The atmosphere was great."​

Cunane Gives Early Commitment To NC State

 

[nwhoopfan]

Scoring pace has slowed down in Q2. ND missing too many FTs, if this stays close that could haunt them.

NC State has had several chances to take the lead but can't capitalize.

 

[Jmsdawg]

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

I have a theory that one really loud fan goes to almost every game all over the country. Especially audible during FTs. I call that fan "The Screaming Banshee."

 

[wbball novice]

NC State - Syracuse last week was really good. State can handle end game if it gets tight.

 

[LETTERL]

Notre Dame on an 11-2 run...timeout NC State. 34-25, Irish.

 

[nwhoopfan]

ND pulling away, NS State needs to answer to maintain contact.

Turning the ball over for a ND fastbreak ins't quite what they needed. 34-25, timeout State.

In the game vs. North Carolina he was unhinged lol.

 

[Blue Huskie]

NC State might get run off the court.
