Ok the phucking traveled there before the supposed foul on Thunderturd...
this game has been straight up bullshit

Ok so champ said “suck my d—“ to a ncst player and that was a tech and holding the rim for a half second? That’s the game difference there. Insane calls really
of course foul shooting too sucks as usual

ACC is never going to give us calls in either sport , that was known when we were given corporate welfare when we joined
Hint: ACC does not make the calls, the refs do.
Hope you don't believe this......They tried to screw Louisville against Duke yesterday, Duke couldn't win with refs calling fouls against VILLE last 6 possessions...... I LIVE HERE YOU ARE WRONG!
I am actually surprised it was that close to be honest. We never beat NC St, so the loss was expected.
Probably the same exact result as if we had X. Possibly even if we had a healthy Toney too. The most surprising thing to me was that it was a close, low-scoring game. We lost our best defender and our best player is our worst defender.... I definitely didn’t expect us to be a better defensive team. Yet somehow we kept a game close that struggled in mightily on the offensive end.
If you want to look at things that killed us, we got 20 offensive rebounds and only turned them into 14 second chance points. That is, well, not good.
Don't like losing but this team didn't quit on the coach/situation from this week, so that's a positive
I don't believe in moral victories but there was some life shown today. I mean we lost by 3, this was Champs 2nd worst game of the season and Horton was a complete no show, and we still only lost by 3 on the road. And that was again gift wrapping the other team 2 more technical fouls for free points to NC State. I have no comment on the first one. But the 2nd T on Champ for hanging on the rim was complete bullshit.
Given my (admittedly low) expectations today, I'm not displeased with the result. There were some things to build on. If you can get Champagnie to play a little better and Horton to play a lot better (he was simply awful) and get something similar from everyone else you can win a game.
I think he slapped the backboard..
Pitt played hard. I think the Panrhers wanted it more. Unfortunately too many turnovers that led to easy Pack points and missed FTs basically took away any chance of pulling out a win today.
I will point this out yet again on this board.
You cannot use "but" immediately after the phrase "I don't believe in moral victories.."
That is a rule.
I continue to argue with this board, there is nothing wrong with moral victories in the proper context of sport, and particularly program building.
I used to have a basketball coach, actually a good solid HS coach (may he RIP). He would say "I don't believe in moral victories" He coached for over thirty years, some good teams and players, but he never won a state title. I wonder if he realized, his entire career was a moral victory. Like most of all people with athletic careers, we seldom get to the top, individually or as a team, if you played on a state championship team, that one year you did, but virtually everything else you've done in sport is a failure unless you believe in moral victories.
In fact after losing two of their top two players and playing well enough and hard enough to win, you have just witnessed a moral victory.
Yeah- it’s just semantics
There are reasons for hope- and that’s enough for the rest of this season
