The NCSU - LSU game was pretty much like NC State Basketball all Season. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - all held together with a never give up attitude.
Both teams played great through the first half of the first half. Then NC State had a little melt down and let LSU get up by 10 at half time. And it continued into the second half. We were awful and were down by 16 with only 12 minutes left. No way to get out of this one. I was only hoping to get the score a little more respectable.
But - true to form - those kids refused to give up. They've done this all year long. They don't seem to care how far behind they are - they keep playing hard.
Down 12 and not a lot of time left.
Then suddenly, were only down 7 with minutes to go.
And then - We shoot a terrible 37% from that point on!
Nothing is ever easy if you're a Wolfpack fan.
LSU plays even worse - missing 12 field goals in a row and their last 6 free throws.
Here's the reaction at the Student Center on Campus -
To the LSU fans - our condolences. NC State fans know how you feel. We've been there, done that.
Villanova
Number 1 seed up next.
So which State team will show up? Who knows. It's a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, inside an enigma - covered in secret sauce.
I don't care if we lose to Vanilla Nova on Saturday.
Just watching these kids play so hard and never giving up is great by me.
Georgia State University
Georgia State is my other favorite team this year.
Ryan Harrow played for NCSU for one season; then transferred to Kentucky; then transferred to GSU. There were rumors of immaturity and parental interference. But he played for State and we always support our kids.
Harrow is playing for GSU along with Andre Ware - the guy who broke his leg in the NCAAT two years ago playing for Louisville. Ware eventually transferred to GSU because he needed a start over situation.
Plus - the GS coach is one of the happiest campers you'll ever see.
PS
Go Dook!
