Devastating loss for these kids after blowing a huge lead at Duke. Would have probably put them into the tourney or at the very least made a huge difference on their tourney resume. Now they need to play a very good FSU team that is coming off an emotional win after trailing all game to V-tech.

I can't see these NC State kids recovering quickly enough to be ready for this game on Saturday. Being at home helps but it won't be enough.

Thinking FSU -3.5? I dunno, just a guess on the line. Either way I'm taking the noles big.

I was thinking the same thing. These kids are ruined.

All this "they'll be too emotional and down to play" is stupid. They'll have that loss out of their heads by tip off or even by the next practice they have. That said, I'm not touching that game. I might bet on the 2H though.

Duke is the most overrated team in the country

I wouldn't call it a devastating loss. Its easy to come back from down that big when your walk-ons are on the court since your starters all have 4 fouls with over 15 minutes left.

How'd NC State do today?

I'm an NCSU alum, when a buddy of mine (also an NCSU alum) came over after work today and told me the Pack had been favored in the game I couldn't believe it. I thought he was lying and had to double check the lines. I figured for sure it was FSU -4 or something like it. Maybe even a few pts higher before I'd believe State as the favorite.

Absolutely unbelievable. If I had known I would have literally put the rent money down on the FSU money line. Every cent. Cause if NCSU wins, then shit, we probably go to the NCAA Tournament and it'd be worth it. Goddamit. How in the hell was this line not FSU -3 or 4? goddam almighty. I almost broke something. Congrats to anyone who faded the Pack today. That was a gift line if there ever was one.

Yeah, I've been down on them all year too. But those fukkers won't die. And everyone else keeps losing.

I still remember that shitkicking Ohio State gave them. But then Ohio State goes out and loses to Michigan today, a team Duke handled pretty well out in Maui. You combine that with wins against Kansas, Michigan State, UVA, and UNC, and Duke is 3-1 against the Top Ten and 5-2 against the Top 25. How many teams can say that?

yeah they lost that game to Temple, and one to Miami they shouldn't have lost. But they've probably played one of the toughest schedules in the nation and only have four losses.

Duke is ranked right behind Kansas (who they beat) and ahead of Ohio State (who beat them), I'd say Duke is probably right where they belong. For now. They lose to FSU/UNC and they probably fall back to the 10-12 range.

NC State hired a horrific coach.

NC State hired a horrific coach.

Maybe so. But he's better than our last one.

And he's proven to be a terrific recruiter thus far. Roy Williams can't coach either and he's got two national title titles. Sometimes all it takes is the ability to assemble talent.
