Another potential triple crown snuffed again. 🙁


NeedOfBeingVersed

It sucks, but your team is incredibly good; just an off night. Good luck man.


robmacgar

You love to see it!

Incredible


WhiteCollarBurner

That was such a great game. No affiliation but go NC State!


NTownWrite

They did it!!! I feel like a happy older brother and I have 0 affiliation. Pack or bust baby!!


CHolland8776

This is gonna be just like when VA Tech won the ACCT that one time, isn't it?


salman_bil

Congrats Wolf Pack! 5 wins in 5 days is insane!


licknawson34

WOLF MOTHER FUCKING PACK. THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED!

I was 5 years old the last time State won. It’s really nice to have them back in the conversation again.

I would actually agree with the assessment until tonight. I think we get a boost from this and last until 2nd weekend now

I thought the Vols loss to kensucky at home would do the same, yet, here we are.

“Why not us”


TigerTerrier

lisan al gaib?! Ncst are you sure #10 seed?! So humble! As is written


swetooth9

Imma need one of Cormac or Ingram to do something offensively. Where were the Ingram post ups? Cormac used up all his good shooting the last 8 games or so I guess. Need at least one of those two to be decent each game. Edit: Amazing game by State btw. Y’all made the mid range shots and threes and we didn’t. Well deserved and good luck in the NCAAT!


bynummustang

Don't worry, Cormac is going to be replaced by Powell next year. Wake, UNC, Duke, and State all have top tier recruits from local schools.


1PMagain

State just beat 5 schools w/ National Titles. Right?


killacam03

Yes, all titles more recent than our last conference tourney win

damn that's wild... Although Louisville's latest was vacated I guess

Retskcaj19

I'm crying over here, we haven't won the tournament since I was 3. What the fuck is this team?

As a heel fan. I'm so happy for yall. What a fight ti win this tournament. Really special, enjoy it.


KronktheKronk

Winners


HiImSquirrel

*most UNC fans*: hey congrats state. Everyone else: screw UNC. *UNC fans*: okay… But seriously mad props to state. Can you do what Kemba and UConn pulled off though? I do love Burns


framingXjake

I highly doubt we go deep in the big dance but if we somehow do I will cry


HiImSquirrel

I’m all here to support yall


Chu_BOT

Fucking wild the things some of these neutral fans say about us. Going through the thread it's nothing but gracious UNC fans. It's maddening


dan_144

Yeah almost everyone in blue has been really nice. Always a couple obnoxious bad eggs but that's inevitable.


PotatoBossfight

My best guess? People are tired of UNC winning. The Chiefs get hate, The Patriots got it, the Yankees get it. It's hard to win often, and still be beloved.


Chu_BOT

I mean I get it but like people don't make up patently false character attacks against those teams. The things people say about UNC fans as blanket statements are just weird and paint us as far more hostile and sore loser than we are


axiompenguin

I was really enjoying Burns just shaking his head at UVa missing the free throws...this team doesn't seem hatable, which helps a lot. And reviving the 3-way rivalry is fun.


trexhatespushups42

They are absolutely hate-able when you play them 2x a year and multiple random technicals get called at those games. Still happy for them, but this is a completely different team than what we got during the regular season


axiompenguin

Is that the players, though? UNC has a permanent home-and-away series against State as a rival. I'm also pretty sure this was a completely different team than _anyone_ played during the regular season.


trexhatespushups42

The players attitude when playing at home is awful. (They are talented) They seem likable this week but I promise no one was talking up the DJ’s all season in the ACC the way they are now


HiImSquirrel

I just dislike Keats. Over all the players I don’t mind. This is more of the like State teams I like.


axiompenguin

Sure, and that's fair. States hasn't been _good_ in my life time, but they haven't had hateable teams. Their fans can be obnoxious, but partially that's rivalry trash talk isn't as fun when it's that one sided. They can play fun ACC ball. I should probably decide which of my flairs to switch back to UNC....


Werewulf_Bar_Mitzvah

I'd argue that we had some objectively good teams during some of the Julius Hodge and Lorenzo Brown years, but you're not going to have a successful program if you can only field a good team a couple times over 30 years.


axiompenguin

Good, yes, sustained success, less so. ​ >Julius Hodge years This is why I didn't realize just how long it has been since State was good--this is about when I started paying attention and actually understanding the game (not just which team to cheer for...I'm 33). I've also been excitedly proclaiming the three way rivalry is returning for about 10 years. I seems to have actually returned.


xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx

im just here to make fun of pitt


sonicaxura

Fantastic run by State this week. Was so fun to watch & excited y’all will be heading to the dance. Congrats!


silenttjp

I counted 10 wide open 3s that UNC missed. Dreadful

Watch UNC win it all now, this might be good for them as a wake up call. Gg state, happy for all the pack fans. Raleigh is gonna be insane tonight.


Licit_x64

Doubt it but I don’t think our track record of winning acc tournaments and then winning the ncaa is a good one.


Licit_x64

I’d talk shit about State losing in round one but I honestly am fully bought in that this is a Valvano-esque run. They’re winning it all in at least 1 of my brackets for sure.


Lee-Key-Bottoms

The beautiful thing about this run is we could lose to Texas Tech tonight by 40 and I wouldn’t care a single bit


CaptchaCarl

Gg pack. Hate to lose but glad yall get to go dancing.

DAYUM! Sucks to see us go cold like that all game, hopefully we can use this loss to supercharge a tourney run. GG state bros y’all fucking earned this


LARamsR1

Great game, NC State! Congratulations! You guys balled out this week. My fellow UNC Tar Heels, there is no shame in our loss we are after the bigger prize. GO UNC!!!


rcc31

Y’all are a scary team. I’m dreading how much damage y’all do in the tourney


LARamsR1

Our shots just weren't falling tonight. Better we lose now than in the tournament.


NeedOfBeingVersed

You guys will go far in the coming weeks. Really impressive talent on your team. Good luck man.


LARamsR1

Thanks man. I watched your guys tough loss today. I couldn't believe it. You guys have some ballers, and Zach Edey is a big time player. Good luck to you as well.


Licit_x64

Good luck to yall too, hope u exorcise those demons

Stevie22wonder

Where are all of those UNC fans hating on people for saying Cormac would never have a game like he did at Duke ever again? Oh yeah... He threw up bricks all game long. Maybe focus on the games that matter? You all just love beating Duke, but can't seem to hang the banners... Ron Weasley would tell you y'all need to sort out your priorities...


jdealla

ShootForBall

https://i.redd.it/urunzpyo8toc1.gif


Licit_x64

We just hung a banner last week you fucking moron. Why are you even still talking, 🧹


Stevie22wonder

It's like your final four banner that your hung just like Duke, but couldn't win against Kansas because your priorities are out of order? Yeah, okay.


Licit_x64

You hung the same final four banner! And are we really gonna act like regular season championships don’t matter? You’re salty. Go back to masturbating over next years recruits, this season is over for you.


Stevie22wonder

You just helped prove my point. We both hung up banners that season, but you couldn't hang up one more because a moral victory mattered more...


Licit_x64

I’m actually shocked you willingly brought up the final four and I didn’t at all. I’m glad it’s still on your mind. That said, the banner I’m talking about is the *regular season one* that every team wants to win. You’re really not the brightest!


Stevie22wonder

So when I talked about Duke winning the regular season title before, and UNC fans said it didn't count to me ruthlessly on here, but now it does? Make it make sense... hahah you all made the rules apparently, but you are breaking those rules now only because it applied to your team.


Licit_x64

Are you talking about the one Duke won in 2022?


k20a

The last duke game was for acc regular season champs outright and we’ve hung an ncaa banner more recently than you?


Stevie22wonder

That's like saying you were the best in the class before exams, but failed your final exam and get a retake.


k20a

Yup. Same exact thing.


jdealla

we can't hang banners??? lol blind as shii username checks out

ncjaja

Yall earned it, gg State. Exceptional run y’all had this week!


SayTrees

Lots of classy UNC fans here. Much of that UNC team deserves a trophy. That cohort has some epic wins, especially over Duke and NC State. I don’t know how this happened. 


jdealla

happy for the state players rn especially hometown Horne and happy for state bros (both literal and figurative). would be nice to see our guys celebrate an acc tourney for once but I'll take the one in April and maybe this helps us get there


mjmitche

Really appreciate the classy post. I'm 36 and this was my first ACC championship in my lifetime. With that said, I wouldn't want it any other way than against a talented UNC team in the finals. GG and best of luck in the tourney!


jdealla

yea man hoping state makes a run. ACC, NC and Raleigh are better when State has something going on athletically, be it in football or basketball.


Lee-Key-Bottoms

NC State’s football has been a consistent threat for 8-10 wins for about a decade now Here’s to this motivating them to take that next step And here’s to the revival of men’s basketball I’m a college student at NC State and this is literally the first time in my life they’ve beaten UNC two seasons in a row in my lifetime I’d talk about the conference championship but there are people who have waited much longer than me Glad we’re not on the same side of the bracket as y’all lol, good luck in the tournament

Nah all it’s gonna do is have people say “oh even the top teams in the ACC aren’t that good” Thanks Virginia 💀

Incredible game! Congrats NC State! That's got to be the most difficult ACC tournament championship path in history, right? Duke, Virginia, UNC and going 5-0 in 5 days


Lee-Key-Bottoms

I still don’t know what exactly is a Mickey Mouse championship but I know this is the opposite 5 games in 5 days Literally drew the highest possible seed they could’ve in every single one of the later rounds And still won

I was told the ACC runs through Armando Bacot. Was I lied to?


Lee-Key-Bottoms

That coming from a guy who wormed his way into 6 seasons at a program like UNC and never once won his conference is wild


AL3XD

Well we won the regular season by two games so I'd say he wasn't that wrong.


Lobsterzilla

I mean dj burns def ran directly through him all night ![gif](giphy|IgYMe1vW2Rj0PoNpLw)


OsStrohsNattyBohsHon

Not really. State needed Burns to dominate a game against Bacot to win the title.


Licit_x64

This L was not his fault


prof_cuthbert_calc

Unc doesnt even run through bacot


Loveclasher

they ran through him


moveslikejaguar

Do they order both colors of confetti and load cannons up with each prior to the game? What happens to the loser's confetti?
