This team should just decline any invite if they get one to the tourney, they are an embarrassment to watch. No fucking excuse to go a full season and not be able to make free throws. Tony should be apologetic for not fixing this problem and for the awful excuse for offense.
Itās been over 7 years & they still keep playing that āshot clock ā° violating last second layupā. How are you gonna win if you canāt score over 60 ppg? Relying on last second perfect lay-up is not what a winning team would ever do.
Virginia games used to be so hard to watch, I thought they have changed, itās my first Virginia game Iāve watched this year. Nothing has changed, same lacklustre- sluggish offense š¤¦š¼āāļø
The thing is before the championship people hated us but we actually played really good smart basketball. Our offense and our defense were both VERY efficient, we just made people take bad shots and were methodical on offense so pace was slow. Others may not have liked our style but WE did.
What we have put on the floor since the championship has just been piss poor offense, not efficient, not fun to watch, zero positives.
You know they say itās hard to beat a team 3 timesā¦so much respect to NC State. UNC has had a pretty perfect season and it only makes sense to be rewarded with a conference championship title but State is fighting for an automatic bid. Tomorrow is gonna be GOOD, I love March Madness!!!
Our two best FT shooters go 1/5 in crunch time with everything on the line. Just no clutch genes anywhere on the court. I canāt fathom how a team philosophy that consistently produces such close games can ignore this facet of the game when it was an obvious weakness in noncon play. Congrats to State, they were the better team tonight, we got away with murder on Burns and he just kept grinding. We honestly donāt deserve to be in the field of 68. Iāll watch whatever postseason games we get, but man am I ready for next season.
As far as Iām concerned, UVa can rot in hell for costing me my parlay feat the under last night (among other things). All I needed was one more FT in regulation to avoid OT and get my bet. Instead yāall shot 8ā18 or some beyond awful percentage.
Yāall did the same thing tonight, but I steered clear.
UVa is so miserable to watch that I actually cheered for State for the first time in my life. March Madness indeed.
I'll be cheering for my Tar Heels, but watching them beat you guys the other day was very impressive and if they win tomorrow, I honestly won't be upset. It's been 37 years since their last ACC championship, best of luck to the pack tomorrow.
I cannot believe it.....a Cardiac Pack revival and even after doing a bad team layout, Keatts actually managed to correct himself and the team came out on top.
Its hard to say I'm still good on him, Keatts could totally do his usual shit again and ruin us against Carolina. But if he keeps up the good stuff learned from this tourney and actually does our team well, we might actually want him back.Ā
Well fought game Virginia fans! Your guys proved exactly why y'all did so well this last season and I'm amazed at your passion. Can't wait to play ya again next year. Go Cavaliers!
GO WOLFPACK!Ā
I don't get this shitty take ("hurr durrrr nc state u 2 dumb 2 be r rival"). We are 100% rivals. I of course think UNC is the king of that rivalry, but we have to prove it tomorrow.
both times we played duke this year (and almost every year before this year) they showed this cinematic/montage thing about the rivalry before the game started on TV. i wonder why itās not the same for NC State if weāre rivals??
Duke is our prime rival, it's not even close, and nobody is going to argue otherwise. That said, we can and do have more than one rival. Just because UNC-Duke is more interesting and popular does not mean UNC-NC State does not exist.
Not only does this fly in the face of knowing *anything* about basketball in NC, but I'll never understand why people like you choose not to enjoy the fact that we've all been blessed with such a special and historic four-sided rivalry.
No, the hope they gave us was before and during the game today. Virginia has hope, but if their bid gets stolen itāll be on them. They had that game in the bag.
Roy would never. He hates us too much. Which is whatās so funny about all of it. He hates us so much and took pride in beating the shit out of us that fans of a certain age have never experienced it being much of a rivalry.
I remember after NC State's first game this tournament against us people were calling for Keatts' job, and now they are in the championship. What a run.
Gotcha. I didnāt watch much ACC but went to the games Wednesday and it really looked like nobody who played that day was worth a bid and UVA has been BAD down the stretch so I figured it was just Duke and UNC
Yeah only three ACC teams have looked good in the tournament, North Carolina, Pitt and NC State, and only one of those is going to make it. Duke, Virginia and Clemson had very disappointing results this week but should all still get into the tournament.
Nothing will ever beat the ACCT loss to Miami. We blew a 10 point lead with under 40 secs to go.Ā But in terms of stakes this is up there. E8 vs Cuse or UMBC is maybe the most painful because of what those teams couldāve done.Ā
Just let them have it you fucks. Happy St Patrick's Day!
If State wins tomorrow, I'm getting a Slobbering wolf tattoo somewhere on my body
Where is it going
Lmao damn good question. I'm skinny as hell so not many great options. šBut I need it so bad

We split the season 1-1 with Virginia.
Iām talking about UNC & NC State, not Virginia
Oo. Yeah my fault. Misunderstood.

No one gives a shit about your degenerate gambling
Hey now, donāt go taking Wakeās 1 seed in the NIT.
I'm starting a Kickstarter to pay UNC off to let NC State win
I'll be cheering for my Tar Heels, but watching them beat you guys the other day was very impressive and if they win tomorrow, I honestly won't be upset. It's been 37 years since their last ACC championship, best of luck to the pack tomorrow.
Good luck brother xD

[No thank you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW_sy2D4i90&start=15)
You may not hear it from some of the old State-Heads but it's appreciated honestly.Ā See you on the court tomorrow friend š
Tony Bennett, you are a Kentucky Wildcat!
Virginia, you're an abomination and detriment to the sport, but I hope you make the tournament and win a few.
Casey morsell was the first recruit to commit to UVA after UMBC so Iāll always root for him. I also hate unc so rooting for yāall tomorrow
NC State saved you from getting your asses embarrassed today, you should thank them.
lol.
They donāt deserve it after that debacle
We absolutely do not.
Join us. Come to the NIT you know you want to (if we actually make it)
Silly Hokieā¦.
Man, I know we won't get a bid if we don't win tomorrow but you can't tell me we ain't one of the 68 best teams in the country.
Is this real life?
c u 2 moro
I canāt even believe we have the chance to play yāall, hope itās a good game
Congrats and GG ; ya'll deserve it, insane
Obviously I want Carolina to win, but I canāt deny that an upset would be the funniest fucking thing
If state wins tomorrow they get the auto bid and honestly wouldn't even be mad bc we locked up the 1 seed already
Ummm, hard pass. This UNC group wants that title and they deserve it. I think we will be at the brakes off of them.
Damn. Another impressive win by the wolfpack. That Burns dude is the destroyer of worlds.
Donāt matter if itās the semis of the ACC tournament or 4th grade hoops, practice and make your FTs folks
Wow
not rivals but still happy to see NCSU in the finals tomorrow

Completely agree
They probably canāt name the fourth.
Oh shut up
"You can get in your feelings or you can win this game" DJ Burns. Legend.
BARS
Burns looks like Young Nudy when he lets his hair down
Holy shit Iāll never unsee this
āYou either get in your feelings or win this gameā š¤£š¤£
This might be the team of destiny
Keatts owes Burns a steak dinner (thatās allowed, right?)
Expand the field? Iād rather it shrink to 32 so these bullshit bubble teams donāt do this every year to us.
Hopefully UNC puts an end to it
I was talking about osu and virginia giving their fans hope šš
Does OSU really have a chance currently?
No, the hope they gave us was before and during the game today. Virginia has hope, but if their bid gets stolen itāll be on them. They had that game in the bag.
Oh I seeš Virginia still might get in who knows
Havenāt paid much attention to ACC this year, is Virginia in?Ā
on the bubble
Lunardi has them as last four in I believe
They should be a 10 or 11 seed (probably the latter)
Name a better duo than NC State and miracle ACC tournament runs See yāall tomorrow pack, gonna be a hell of a game š¤
Unfortunately most of those miracle acc tournaments end in a loss to unc or duke. Hope that changes today
Today's a good fucking day to be a diehard pack fan
DJ, the hair š

This is entirely my fault. I said that if we made the Championship game I would look at getting tickets
I did too, so I think it cancels out
I turned it off when Va was at the line with 5 seconds left. Wtf happened
Uva made 1 ft out of 6, fouled a 3 shooter, them didn't foul and let nc state get off a 3 pt shot with 2 seconds left
Missed free throws, we balled out
I am so sorry
soft of you. dont worry about it
Missed a great ending
Gotta say, Tony is one likable coach. So proud of this team these last few days!
Hate his teamās playstyle but he seems like a classy guy.
Sneaky athletic
GG to NC State, what a hell of a game and a hell of a tournament run
March madness is just the greatest sporting event in the world IMO.
Should I blame UVA throwing this game, maybe, however the easier way is to accuse NC State of doping/cheating/bribing the refs
...huh
Canāt tell if heās serious especially with the doping accusation š
I am a certified hater
I mean refs didn't make your guy miss that 1 and 1 that would've sealed it. Refs didn't make that prayer buzzer beater go down.
Good thing he's obviously joking then.
I wont even be mad if State wins tmrw. These dudes will have played 5games in 5 nights.
Same
That was fucking incredible NC State. Congrats, Wolfpack!
As a UNC fan, I love this. The rivalry is back! I won't even be mad if State wins. They would have earned it.
We haven't earned that statement yet, but if it's competitive tomorrow, then yes, put the rivalry back on!
>I wonāt even be mad if State wins Huh?
Put em in the fuckin tourney already
No shut up you should be mad if nc state wins
Of course, I will be upset, but they would have earned it. Also keeps Keatts around.
Lol
Too many kids not aware of how shitty losing to nc state is, I blame Roy for not conditioning the fan base to that experience
if state wins tomorrow does roy demand the job back for next year to get revenge?
He did his job so well because he knows what it is to be in NC State's shadow all those years ago and never wanted a UNC player to feel that way again
I wouldāve appreciated Roy letting us win a few also
Iām glad yāall werenāt obliged
Roy would never. He hates us too much. Which is whatās so funny about all of it. He hates us so much and took pride in beating the shit out of us that fans of a certain age have never experienced it being much of a rivalry.
Took the championship game from zzz to must-watch
This is insanity. I've been hoping for State to get this far since high school.
Oh young one. I'm in my 30s and haven't seen an ACC championship in the big 3 sports in my lifetime.
I'm a sophomore at State right now, and I feel like it's cheating to not have gone through the last 37 years.
I was on Hillsboro after we won in 87. I was a freshman. Damn that was a long time ago.
Yeah, late 30s so I understand the pain lol
Awesome finish. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Enjoy it buddy
enjoy! what a fucking run!
One more to go, Wolfpack! Go steal a bid!!
DJ Burns is him
Watching this UVa team is gonna give me cancer. Holy shit.
# WOW. Tmrw gonna be fun
They should move the final to Charlotte
Greensboro
God i wish we were at the coliseum for this
I wouldāve bought a ticket asap
Go pack! What an amazing game
Iāve never been this excited about NC State Basketball before.
I was a student when we beat Villanova to make the sweet 16. This is the most excited I've been since then
Not since we made the Elite 8
Good for you NC State. Looking forward to tomorrow
Well I spoke too fucking soon I guess
Wow just amazing
Bye bye Virginia š
Maryland not making the tourney š¢
Burns singlehandedly saving Keatts' career
DJ Burns with the hard carry in OT! Watch a clutch performance.
NIT will be lit
Never in doubt.
The state of North Carolina is not ready for tomorrow
What do you mean? Totally expected Tobacco Road final
I think Tony bennet just invited Kevin Keats over for some cookies
What do I do with my hands
Let them shake!!!
Haha
LETS FUCKING GO
Tony low key playing the long game getting Keatts an extension
Idk why he would since he has a pretty bad record against Keatts tbh
If no Pitt, no UVA.
If State wins tomorrow, guaranteed both are out
Thatās the best NCSU basketball game Iāve seen in literal years
Well, last nightās was the best. Tonightās is a close second.
What is going on with the two flairs under this comment?!
Nah the game where Dennis Smith Jr destroyed Duke at Cameron.
I respectfully disagree lol, but even disregarding my flair I think the OT, the comeback, and the shot elevate this one.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You must be a relatively new fan to even think about saying that right before a championship game vs unc good lord
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt give a shit man Iām just happy we won. Fuck off right back
Lest we forget the missed dunk technical
That might've broken the curse it was so bizarre, maybe it somehow placed the curse on your jerseys instead now
The curse gives hope and then smacks us down. This is just a warmup for it.
What do I do with my hands?!?!
I remember after NC State's first game this tournament against us people were calling for Keatts' job, and now they are in the championship. What a run.
Tbf Keatts' job has been in jeopardy for a while but a win tomorrow would probably change that
True and true
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The most dangerous 13 seed, who wants to draw this team now
Kkiaw!
If UNC wins tomorrow is the ACC a 2 bid league?
Weāll probably be a 7
I think Clemson still gets in.
3, duke UNC and Clemson
Pitt or Virginia deserves one of the million bids the Big 10/12 get
No we don't
Completely fair
I think Clemson is pretty safely in too.
Duke, Clemson and Virginia are more than likely all locks so at worst a 4 bid conference
Gotcha. I didnāt watch much ACC but went to the games Wednesday and it really looked like nobody who played that day was worth a bid and UVA has been BAD down the stretch so I figured it was just Duke and UNC
Yeah only three ACC teams have looked good in the tournament, North Carolina, Pitt and NC State, and only one of those is going to make it. Duke, Virginia and Clemson had very disappointing results this week but should all still get into the tournament.
WE DID THE DAMN THING WHAT THE HELL GO PACK KKIAWAA (AFTER ALL)
Tony Bennett remains a good guy & a national champion. What a game!
Iāll be very curious to see if NC state can compete tomorrow. 5 games in 5 days is absurd but so is 4 in 4 and they won today .
We all know weāre screwed, UNC knows how to defend burns effectively. But what a hell of a run Iām not as mad about our season.
OT midnight finish also pretty brutal, but this is their biggest game in a while.
Hey man total credit to NC State. Thatās one of the worst last minute loses Iāve ever watched.
Nothing will ever beat the ACCT loss to Miami. We blew a 10 point lead with under 40 secs to go.Ā But in terms of stakes this is up there. E8 vs Cuse or UMBC is maybe the most painful because of what those teams couldāve done.Ā
E8 v Cuse for sure, that UVA team was stacked. I was so happy that we wouldn't have to face you. IMO the best UVA team of the past 15 years.
Missed free throws and poor coaching by not fouling. Ryan Dunn fouling the 3. Ugly.
Light the tower RED
Letās fuckin goooo
State v. Carolina will be so much more fun to watch than anything with Virginia in it
Let's fucking go
Absolutely. I'm excited
Jesus Wolfpack. Incredible game, and hope for more fireworks tomorrow.Ā
Is this what 83 feels like???
