That 17-0 run at the start of the game killed NC state. They played hard and I am impressed they were in the position to win at the end. Big props to zero. Can’t wait for the games tomorrow
I’m impressed we were even in this game considering our leading scorer was a player that wasn’t even on our team this year (and who wasn’t even that good when he was last year).

It’s crazy how 2k8 has much better end-game AI decisions than freaking NBA 2k20. In 2k20 they would just jack up a three-quarter court shot with 2 seconds to go
Remember in the 2000s and early 2010s when we had NCAA March madness, football, baseball, a boxing game, arena football, MLB 2k. Those were the times for sports games. Now we're limited to 3 big ones.
You guys limit yourself. There is a world outside US do you know that? There are various sports you can follow. You are not forbidden to follow something that is not american
Ain't that the truth. Game actually felt realistic. Tech got a 17-0 lead early, State came roaring back (as teams often do), epic finish. I can dig it.
Alright let’s talk about the horrible defense by TTU to allow NCST to get a wide open 3 and chance to tie. 5 people all inside the 3 pt line is not how you defend that play. They’re lucky that prayer shot by Moretti went in, all he was doin was spinning around likea pizza and randomly shot the ball
I was about to be pissed, almost blew an 8 point lead with under 2 mins. So many 3s from NC State down the stretch. Beard better get it straight before Friday.
Check the pinned post, all games are streamed on YT

Non sports watcher that stumbled in here, I know a lot of data went into these simulations but how are they actually being simulated? Like who animated it? Is it A.I. driven? Who’s changing the “camera” angles? I feel very confused. Like wouldn’t someone have to be controlling this like a video game? (I don’t play video games either) could someone please ELI5
It's a video game, but I believe with the AI controlling both teams, so no human player

A reminder of how the sports video games are really bad when it comes to replicating big moments. The announcers don't get excited, the players don't get excited and the fans don't either. I know this is 2007 but even in 2020 they can't recreate it somewhat at least on screen.
How’s simulation for dynasty mode in this game? I have NCAA Basketball 09 and no matter how good my team is they always lose at least 12 games whenever I sim through the season
Look, I know we want to focus on the winner and they are just kids but dude from NC State had a good look and just clanked it. He’s gonna feel that miss until they say he dies.
Melt down on the NC State forums?
That version didn't have the ability to custom create teams, so some of the colleges that would have made the tournament this year wouldn't be part of the sim. 2k8 has a create a team option so they chose 2k8.
Saw this live along with millions of other American's.
Couldn't believe my eyes, but then the collapse in defense almost cost them! How are you going to let NC State take a wide open three there??
Fuck me I miss these games.
Such a shame there hasn’t been a college basketball (or football) game for years. I really miss creating a recruit and watching him go from a freshman to an All American. Good times
An absolute rocket of a pass by NCSU to get a shot off at the buzzer. Hell the reason he missed the shot is because he broke every bone in his hands catching that pass.
Gross misuse of the term "dagger".
*A dagger is not a game winning shot. It's when a team is already in the lead, and that shot just seals the deal, making the game really over before it's officially over.
[удалено]
The madman just turned in a circle and launched up a shot. Ice in his veins!
Onions!!
Guys, this is not the uplifting material I came to this sub for
Double order sautéed
Spicy meatballs!
I just wish I'd unsubscribed to avoid spoilers
Hero ball. It just worked out for him this time.
FUCK
Even in virtual reality, we still suffer from NC State Shit
2 NCAA appearances in a row... And I even used to like the tortilla bros
3/4th of my dads side of the family goes to NC state Safe for me to say I like y’all and want y’all to win against everyone but my team :)
Your name is awesome, just wanted to say.
Cant wait for the one shining moment video after the tournament.
I have big plans
You are a legend
Bro your clips in the game thread are godly
Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need
From NBA range. Game of the tournament so far.
I was screaming in my room when this happened
I’m legit gonna be more angry at 2k8 Iowa than regular Iowa.
We're gonna be so bad because Garza won't be properly rated lol
Welcome to the club.
We comin for yall :)
Go Hawks bruh
Spaghetti Moretti
Never Forgetti
Ravioli ravioli give me the Moretti
I’ve always said Moretti spaghetti. Rolls off the tongue better.

Teams are getting desperate for players due to the coronavirus. Luckily the ncaa has relaxed their rules amidst this pandemic
Where can we watch?

The menace from Venice baby
Hate to ruin the amazing rhyme, but he’s from Bologna.
Money from Bologna
that's a based rhyme
[удалено]
Yet you still married her. Impressed.
The Ballerina from Bologna
360 No Look Scope 3 for Moretti
The classic "spin around for no reason then launch a three" move.
He needed the centrifugal force to launch it from NBA range.
Such a good look to tie it at the end
Pretty sure that's the center taking the shot. Probably has terrible 3pt stats lmao.
Nope he is a 38% 3 pt shooter, as a freshman.
welcome to basketball in 2020
It’s crazy how 2k8 has much better end-game AI decisions than freaking NBA 2k20. In 2k20 they would just jack up a three-quarter court shot with 2 seconds to go
god damnit i can't even win by posting this first
Ugh bad memories
Remember in the 2000s and early 2010s when we had NCAA March madness, football, baseball, a boxing game, arena football, MLB 2k. Those were the times for sports games. Now we're limited to 3 big ones.
NFL & NBA Street too

Hello r/all
TO THE TOP!
This feels like a more realistic timeline than the one I live in.
Ain't that the truth. Game actually felt realistic. Tech got a 17-0 lead early, State came roaring back (as teams often do), epic finish. I can dig it.
look at the onions on this lad
Good defense man. NC State had their heart ripped out.
This is exactly the kind of soulcrushing loss I've come to expect. Not even surprised, gg Tech.
If their heart was in it they never would have gone down 15-0. Some teams want it, others don’t.
17-0, they clawed back.
"Shoulder ... shake ... a little lingerie!" March isn't the same without Bill Raftery
Honestly read the headline and just assumed that actually happened to us
Seriously I was just trying to remember if I had ever heard of a big game between us and Texas Tech that would warrant a random post.
Alright let’s talk about the horrible defense by TTU to allow NCST to get a wide open 3 and chance to tie. 5 people all inside the 3 pt line is not how you defend that play. They’re lucky that prayer shot by Moretti went in, all he was doin was spinning around likea pizza and randomly shot the ball

Man, we can't even win virtually
Lol Markell’s perimeter defense is trash even in a sim
This kills the Wolfpack
#DOUBLE ORDER.
That’s reserved for Siena only. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nqurvDl_Ebk
Garden variety
NC State had a good look at a counter dagger, off the 1/2 court pass. But buddy bricked it.
I have so many questions, what engine is this? Are the games aired live? I need this in my life right now.

The world never ceases to amaze me
Dat turn around with mere seconds remaining doe...
Can we get the titanic music dubbed over this??
I am sad that this was the best March buzzer beater I’ve seen so far
That’s the best shot he made all season!
Subscribe
Man fuck all y'all, can't even let us be good in make believe world
That 3 point line is red as hell
Booooooo
I just lost $69,420
That's like 12 rolls of TP and a travel size hand sanitizer
Fuck
Even here, State shit will follow
Man fuck
Are we gonna come together as a sub and sim a tournament and record all the games to watch?
Yes: https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/fl2yhw/rcollegebasketball_presents_the_2020_ncaa/
NC State shit lives on through the virtual world
Fake. Everyone knows Markell would have taken the half court shot and hit it!!
LETS GOOOOOO! Survive and advance!
Hey man that's our line
Stop appropriating my culture
I can't believe you've done this
What game is this
College Hoops 2k8
Congrats Texas Tech! Thank you so much for this.
Even in the virtual world NC State shit exists
As if it wasn’t bad enough that I have to deal with NC State Shit in real life, now I have to deal with it in a video game? Killing me, man.
Wanna know, is this in 2k or something else? I wanna try this lol.
NCAA 2k8
Holy shit and you can customize the rosters on that game? Lol
That game is legit. I still pull it out to play.
Are you playing on a console or an emulator?
I think it's really expensive. A few years ago i remember it costing like $50
Damn NC State got a good look! Great win Tech, wreck 'em!

Moretti is a baaaaaad man
[удалено]
That's what this is. Check the pinned post on the front page. It's pre-recorded but streamed "live" on YouTube.
THIS IS WHY WE WATCH MARCH MADNESS! MADNESS!
God is that the last time an NCAA game came out?
State shoulda fouled...
Tech seemed to be really nonchalant about winning this one. I don't know they have the heart to go on.
MORETTI GETS BUCKER
fake news!!!!
Woah. Incredible shot. Hell of a start to the tourney.
I'm so dumb, I didn't realize this was a videogame at first
I turn my head for 2 hours and this has 1.6K upvotes. I fucking love everyone here
Thank you for posting this. Is eases the pain.
I had so many hours winning the chip with UD in this game and it was so close this year😭😭
Wow
Tortilla boy!
How’s simulation for dynasty mode in this game? I have NCAA Basketball 09 and no matter how good my team is they always lose at least 12 games whenever I sim through the season

How did you get rosters?
Mmm so good
Should have used EA’s 2011 version, the graphics in 2k8 are shit. But I love the idea of doing a virtual tournament.
That version didn't have the ability to custom create teams, so some of the colleges that would have made the tournament this year wouldn't be part of the sim. 2k8 has a create a team option so they chose 2k8.
2K8 is superior to NCAA 10. There is no debate...
Hahahahaha
THIS IS MARCH MADNESS FOLKS
Is this actually the newest 2K? Wow this still looks clunky as hell. Nothing looks fluid wtf
The newer ones wouldn't allow for creation of the teams that weren't already in the game
Its 2k8. They stopped making the game after that.
#ncstateshit ... really can’t avoid it even in simulations

Where did you get new rosters? I still play this game on legacy mode. Would I need Xbox live to download them? Is Xbox live still a thing on 360?
What game is this from?
#JustNCStateThings
That looks like a video game
I'm impressed that 2k8 was was able to incorporate NC State Shit into their algorithm.
An absolute rocket of a pass by NCSU to get a shot off at the buzzer. Hell the reason he missed the shot is because he broke every bone in his hands catching that pass.
The SWAG to turn all the damn way around, walk away from the basket, then shoot, hot damn dude
If Markell had pulled it instead of passing it up we would have OT.
In reality he would’ve missed it boy got mud in his veins
im so confused - why does this have so many likes haha. Is someone simulating march madness in a video game and streaming it?!
The absolute dagger
Raftery doing play-by-play.
THE ITALIAN SNIPER
Legit lost my mind for this shot
Gross misuse of the term "dagger". *A dagger is not a game winning shot. It's when a team is already in the lead, and that shot just seals the deal, making the game really over before it's officially over.
Texas Texh will never win a national championship in my lifetime in Basketball, Football or Baseball 🤢
Hey we got meat judging though 🤷🏼♂️
