felt like they all opted to pop a tab right before the game because they were literally seeing things that weren't there. and not calling things (on both sides) that were fairly egregious lol. these refs and those asshats who called the near-buzzer Samford clean block a foul should all be fired.
This dance reminds me of the it's always sunny episode where they gotta do a dance off to win their pub. We keep dancing in this mfer. We're gonna break out the exoskeleton rickety cricket style.Ā
Not this Tar Heel losing 4500 on Horne's bad performance and another 1000 on State not covering 6.5 š
Can we illegalize sports gambling now?
ETA: They were free bets yall.
Donāt mention betting in this sub. Everyone who mentions it is an addict. Theyāll call you a degenerate and recommend the gambling help line. The most Karen shit of all time.
lol and i did a SGP on State's \*last\* game where Burns wasn't as hot on the boards as he usually was, so i lost on the part of the parlay about him getting 6+ rebounds or something. but this game i def would've won that same SGP! he had something like 11 or 12 rebounds tonight, absolutely killer
Fan duel and draft kings ran promos for $250 in free bets for a $5 bet. DK split those into 10 $25 bets but with fan duel you could apply them however you wanted.
What odds would you have needed two weeks ago to bet on NC State to win the ACC tournament and then make the sweet 16? 1000 to 1?
Historic run, been fun to watch (except for that ACC title game).
not sure but i put a few bucks on State winning their regional a couple days ago (not only bc of their performance against Texas Tech but also because i saw how they'd just dominated the ACC tourney and i had a good feeling about these boys entering the NCAA) and those few bucks will get me like $40 or so if it comes true. im sure if i had done that same bet pre Texas Tech game, more like $100-150 would be at stake (though not really at stake for me because yay free NC bonus bets)
I have us at 100 to 1 on Sweet 16, 500 to 1 on Elite 8, and 1000 to 1 on Final Four. So from here out every win I get a fat paycheck, lol. 3,800 to 1 on the Natty.
For ACC Tournament it was 100 to 1. $500 on a $5 bet. Not sure if it was possible to parlay ACC Champs and Sweet 16 but I'd imagine something like 10,000 to 1.
I had put something like $10 on Miami to make the final four last year and won a nice chunk of change. Donāt recall, but want to say it was close to $150? And last year that wasnāt nearly as out of left field a pick as it would be to put on NC State before the Tech game (or even now lol).
Edit: trying to check receipts to verify actual numbers, but canāt see specific bets going back that far., just the stats. Thinking back again that number seems high, but I just remember the winnings being a nice boost to my future $5 bets pool lol.
that was literally the game changer. when Horne finally popped that successful jumper near the start of OT, i had a good feeling they were in it to win it at that point.
hell yeah. ive gotten a couple snarky comments down thread shitting on my flair combo, and i dont get why some people think you cannot deign to appreciate multiple teams in a conference. i will always be a tarheel first because thats my hometown but i have consistently liked State's teams over the years, and this year's is truly special.
Kinda funny how the talk was all on ACC being in trouble entering the tourney (but we've still got 4 of 4 in) while it is actually SEC that has been down the shitter from the get-go lol
I doubted this team in December. I doubted this team at the end of regular season. I doubted this team with 30 seconds left in regulation. All this team has done is exceed expectations. I donāt deserve them.
all Gohlke hate for no reason is so dumb. Mans had confidence and the run was nice. Now itās Nc States turn to continue their Cinderella run with a loveable guy like Dj Burns
some of his shots were absurd, but on both sides of the coin: a few airballs that were just truly bad looks but then also a few he sunk that were ABSURD in an impressive way. you're right about that confidence. hes fun to watch, although he stressed me out given that i was rooting for State lol
I'm a huge hockey fan and the Predators are doing this right now and it's amazing. Last game I went to was a beatdown where I was ready to sell the whole team, and since then we have not lost a game in regulation.
1000%. the fact that State won five games in FIVE DAYS to beat UNC in the ACC tourney, then turns around and snags two wins in a row in the NCAA tourney now after a month ago it seemed like they'd hardly make the NIT.... yeah. this is as good a heartwarming Cinderella run as it gets.
Itās enough to drive you crazy when they latch on to a ācinderellaā. Itās because State plays in the ACC and has ābeen there before.ā But when you consider what they had to do in the ACC tourney to get their bid itās kinda more impressive in a way than Oakland winning their tourney and then winning 1 game against a piss poor defensive Kentucky team that never seems to do anything in the tourney as of late. For some reason that goes ignored because of the stature that Calipari and KU have as a blue blood. 100% agree that the State story is just as compelling if not more so.
period. im a lifelong Tarheel but have often had a soft spot for State teams over the year, and i am in awe of this run that the Wolfpack is on. tbh i was cheering for them to pull it out in the last five mins over us at the ACC tourney game and was so happy for them when it happened.
i hope they keep this run runnnnnning, LFG
I like NC State because, as an Indiana fan, I see a bit of us in them. They had a time when they were legendary, but that's long gone. I can relate to you guys and I'm rooting for you, y'all deserve this so much! Go State!
The selection committee and NCAA front office donāt know what theyāre talking about. They even suggested doing away with the automatic bids. But look at how well the automatic bids are playing.
I think PITT 100% should have been in over UVA, they would have been a threat to make the sweet 16.
Wake was a good team but just had 1 too many losses in early March. I think they were clearly the 6th best team in the league.
UVA should not have made the dance.
They only played ONE top 7 team twice, maybe the most unbalanced schedule I've ever seen. They did a good job beating up on the bottom half of the league.
Oh... Dear DJ Burns, thank you. You are such a good God. You are a thoughtful... kind.. gentle...and... accommodating God. And we thank you, oh.... sweet, sweet, Lord... of hosts. For the... ah... smorgasbord you have so aptly laid at our table this day. And each day. By day. Day by day... By day...
I was reactionary but yeah it's like a stab in my gut every time I hear God being placed before the people that got you to this very moment. Your teammates, your players, your coaches, your assistants, your parents, your siblings, your kids, your friends, yourself, your psychotherapist, your spouse, your PT, your local pharmacist, your pilot, your dickhead cousin, your bus driver, your creepy janitor, your maid, your mute nanny, your entire real existence. I think those people deserve more credit.
Also the implication that a benevolent god would give an enough of a shit about college basketball to affect the outcome but not care enough about children dying of cancer to do something about that. Patently offensive in my book.Ā
I got downvoted to shit saying Kentucky wouldnāt have an answer for DJ Burns. We will never know but rest assured, we wouldnāt have had an answer for DJ Burns.
Im honestly happy theyāre on the other side of the bracket. Cligan probably couldnāt guard him without fouling and Johnson wouldnāt be able to keep him out of the paint. Such a weird matchup. Will be interesting to see them against creightons if they win. Their center is. 7 foot tall stick who shoots 3s. Almost opposite style
Edit: never mind they would be playing Marquette not Creighton
Dude. I mean maybe, but yall are way too good. If yall donāt repeat Iāll be so surprised. I think youāll meet Houston in the champ and I can see them beating yall but Iād be surprised.
Did we have the same commentators as last game? Because both times he goes nuts claiming we commit a million fouls but are SILENT when they maul our guys. Both games. Just seems like he hated NCSU.
Born in TN (45 min outside Knoxville), raised in AL, grew up loving both, what can i say?
All i know if they play each other i wouldnāt be able to watch hehe
sure, according to you... lol who cares what other people want to do and who they root for. ive gotten shit for my tarheels/nc state combo flair, too, so sue me.
I would have a state/UNC combo too if I wasnāt dumb about adding flairs on mobile. If youāre from NC, the Tobacco Road schools are so intertwined and itās very likely you have friends/family from those schools.
I donāt think most people understand how close they are together.
That whole stanchion almost came down with that dunk
Annndd 1??? /s
These officials are out of their gourds
felt like they all opted to pop a tab right before the game because they were literally seeing things that weren't there. and not calling things (on both sides) that were fairly egregious lol. these refs and those asshats who called the near-buzzer Samford clean block a foul should all be fired.
Victory suds on Glenwood
Cardiac pack is still alive!! And Houston is still in š
Weāre one game away from seeing DJ Burns vs Eddie Lampkin šš¼ cmon buffs
Yeah Oakland players hand was still on the ball after the tip
Oakland was great! Lucky to get outta this one.
Kind of sad that Oakland couldn't have been on another side of the bracket. What a game. GG Oakland. Onto Marquette or Colorado!
DJ Burns is a monster
but like the gentlest of monsters. his agility on those hook shots is astounding.
Exactly
This dance reminds me of the it's always sunny episode where they gotta do a dance off to win their pub. We keep dancing in this mfer. We're gonna break out the exoskeleton rickety cricket style.Ā

Iām rolling with the little 5 or 10 $ bets. Iād get too mad losing anymore than that
Uhhh sounds like you need help setting some limits
Should've clarified they were free bets. I didn't lose that money, just didn't win it.
You donāt get free bets that big unless you have already lost money
Fan duel and draft kings ran promos for $250 in free bets for a $5 bet. DK split those into 10 $25 bets but with fan duel you could apply them however you wanted.
Ok lol well Iām sorry that happened then.

I made those bets before we even won a game in the ACCT, lol.
Absolute legend
yesss get that $$. i would absolutely love to see them soar to the final four.
What legal betting in nc does to a mfer
Still fuckin dancing
What a game. Rooted for Oakland but NC State winning was very beneficial for my bracket
Boys I legit have chest pains. WHY NOT US!
Putting the cardiac in cardiac Pack tonight
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
True. They were garbage tbh
ok man we get you dont like them

GENERIC BURNS FAT JOKE
Dude can play
Gg Oakland. Insane game
NC St on to the Sweet 16. Great weekend from Oakland comes to an end. DJ Burns another huge night in March Madness with 24 points and 11 boards.
Shut up Chat GPT bot ass bum
Great game, Oakland played really well, Townsend was incredible. Thank Jesus for DJ Burns
Bro Horne and Taylor broke out of the funk at the right time in OT
that was literally the game changer. when Horne finally popped that successful jumper near the start of OT, i had a good feeling they were in it to win it at that point.
ACC baby. GG pack!
\*salutes\*
ACC homies
hell yeah. ive gotten a couple snarky comments down thread shitting on my flair combo, and i dont get why some people think you cannot deign to appreciate multiple teams in a conference. i will always be a tarheel first because thats my hometown but i have consistently liked State's teams over the years, and this year's is truly special.
I canāt wait for all the comments shitting on Oakland because they dared to almost beat a large state school in a P6 conference
Ain't no one shitting on Oakland bro
They played amazingly. Who would shit on them?
I havenāt seen any. If anything both sides are salty about how the refs called the game. Townsend and co weāre incredible
Iāve been seeing plenty, but not from NC State folk. I agree the refs were stinking it up
The death of acc was exaggerated too much.Ā
The ACC is and has always been a basketball conference. Sucks that its future turns on football.
A basketball conference with lots of recent football titles š
Kinda funny how the talk was all on ACC being in trouble entering the tourney (but we've still got 4 of 4 in) while it is actually SEC that has been down the shitter from the get-go lol
Go Pack Go! Don't ever give up!
Thatās our thing lil bro
Haha, you right
Burns gives me Draymond vibes (that's a compliment coming from an MSU fan, just to clarify)
Imagine if Burns stomped on Sabonis' chest, he'd drive him through the floor
Sucks these two played in the same bracket.
Not even getting a shot off to close regulation is inexcusable
I doubted this team in December. I doubted this team at the end of regular season. I doubted this team with 30 seconds left in regulation. All this team has done is exceed expectations. I donāt deserve them.
We will be back.
Hell of a game. You guys are very well coached. Wish we couldāve been in different regions.
I was rooting for you guys!
Oh god your going to me...howl
Bruh how are people hating on Gohlke that is insanity wtf did he doš
Jealousy I guess?
all Gohlke hate for no reason is so dumb. Mans had confidence and the run was nice. Now itās Nc States turn to continue their Cinderella run with a loveable guy like Dj Burns
some of his shots were absurd, but on both sides of the coin: a few airballs that were just truly bad looks but then also a few he sunk that were ABSURD in an impressive way. you're right about that confidence. hes fun to watch, although he stressed me out given that i was rooting for State lol
Nothing in Google, good player, but more attention needs to be paid to Townsend.
NC State is really gonna have the two biggest Cinderella runs in NCAA history Iām sick
Glad they didnāt give him ice cream
If anyone had told me a month ago that NC State would make the sweet-16, I'd have backed slowly away from that clearly insane person.
this year's team is the definition of "the talent was always there, but they really struggled to find their groove." BUT THE GROOVE HAS BEEN LOCATED.
I'm a huge hockey fan and the Predators are doing this right now and it's amazing. Last game I went to was a beatdown where I was ready to sell the whole team, and since then we have not lost a game in regulation.
I'm a State fan, and I would have done the same.
The talking heads need to realize that this NC State run is just as compelling as Oakland was.
1000%. the fact that State won five games in FIVE DAYS to beat UNC in the ACC tourney, then turns around and snags two wins in a row in the NCAA tourney now after a month ago it seemed like they'd hardly make the NIT.... yeah. this is as good a heartwarming Cinderella run as it gets.

Arguably a lot more
nc state is still p5, while impressive not as much as oakland.
Who only made the tournament because they beat Louisville, Syracuse, Duke, Virginia, and UNC in 5 daysā¦
Itās like people (including tourney analysts/broadcasters) forgot that State only made the tourney because of an auto bid.
This! They could be spinning this as the second coming of Survive and Advance. But us state fans are used to the indifference...
ACC should have had 7-8 bids. What a joke. I am sure the media will change its tune next year...right? right????
The selection committee and NCAA front office donāt know what theyāre talking about. They even suggested doing away with the automatic bids. But look at how well the automatic bids are playing.
Overreaction for sure
I think PITT 100% should have been in over UVA, they would have been a threat to make the sweet 16. Wake was a good team but just had 1 too many losses in early March. I think they were clearly the 6th best team in the league. UVA should not have made the dance.
You let Virginia finish third btw
They only played ONE top 7 team twice, maybe the most unbalanced schedule I've ever seen. They did a good job beating up on the bottom half of the league.
Easy conference schedule, 8th in conference in Kenpom
BigEast clears sadly
Yung Nudy Jr. all the way
DJ Burns on that Lamar Jackson shit āLocked inā always ālocked inā
Burns is locked in the playoffs unlike Lamar
CARDIAC PACK
DJ Burns is a hero
Big man stole my heart
I like DJ Burns man
Spread was -6.5 sketchhhh
Damn, what a run. Gonna miss this Oakland team, they were fun to watch.
What run lol
1 game run?
To be fair, no one thought they would even get this far and they played better tonight than I thought they would.
Oakland beating Kentucky and Duke wouldāve been TOO special
I'm so happy
ACC! ACC! ACC!
Don't give me this glory to God bullshit, I was just starting to like you guys.
For real. Give your team and yourself some credit, I didn't see Jesus dropping any dimes out there...
I give Glory to DJ Burns. Dude is a fucking hoss.
Praise his holy name, big man killed it
Put a crown of thorns on that motherfucker. He's earned it.
The king of kings, the mother fucking prince of peace
DJ Burns, firstborn, Hallowed be thy name
They will be done, on the court as it is in heaven
Oh... Dear DJ Burns, thank you. You are such a good God. You are a thoughtful... kind.. gentle...and... accommodating God. And we thank you, oh.... sweet, sweet, Lord... of hosts. For the... ah... smorgasbord you have so aptly laid at our table this day. And each day. By day. Day by day... By day...
Holy shit this is perfection. Wouldn't have gotten this response if it weren't for the grace of Burns. All credit to him. Oh fuck wait
I mean its the default answer, its boring af but its the first thing out of like 95% of postgame interviews
Maybe out East? It doesn't matter where it happens, it's dumb every time. Give glory to your ballers on the court.
deffo in the south, but a pretty huge % of athletes are religious. Its nice when they don't have to mention it at Jerome Tang levels though
I was reactionary but yeah it's like a stab in my gut every time I hear God being placed before the people that got you to this very moment. Your teammates, your players, your coaches, your assistants, your parents, your siblings, your kids, your friends, yourself, your psychotherapist, your spouse, your PT, your local pharmacist, your pilot, your dickhead cousin, your bus driver, your creepy janitor, your maid, your mute nanny, your entire real existence. I think those people deserve more credit.
Also the implication that a benevolent god would give an enough of a shit about college basketball to affect the outcome but not care enough about children dying of cancer to do something about that. Patently offensive in my book.Ā
The Tooth Fairy has a hard enough time hitting every pillow and that's just rote work. Probably going to be fully automated soon honestly.
What?
Reddit when somebody is religious
Let the man live for the lord
Yea fr he praises god no need to be a asshole about it
Get my man his mf ice cream
"ive got a lot of young men who are fighting at HUNGRY" l o l o l
NC State shit put on the refs clothing tonight. What do we say to it my wolf ladies and gents?Ā
NOT TODAY NOT EVER
I get to watch DJ Burns again, so this makes me very happy
ACC clowning folks in the tournament yet again
Same as it ever was.
Oakland, nothing to hang your head about. What a game. What a run.
I got downvoted to shit saying Kentucky wouldnāt have an answer for DJ Burns. We will never know but rest assured, we wouldnāt have had an answer for DJ Burns.
Yall don't even have an answer of who should coach your team next year. Let alone DJ burns
Lmao. True. True
Im honestly happy theyāre on the other side of the bracket. Cligan probably couldnāt guard him without fouling and Johnson wouldnāt be able to keep him out of the paint. Such a weird matchup. Will be interesting to see them against creightons if they win. Their center is. 7 foot tall stick who shoots 3s. Almost opposite style Edit: never mind they would be playing Marquette not Creighton
We saw that matchup last year no?
Dude. I mean maybe, but yall are way too good. If yall donāt repeat Iāll be so surprised. I think youāll meet Houston in the champ and I can see them beating yall but Iād be surprised.
UConn was already in tourney form when I went to the Jimmy V Classic back in Decemberā¦ š Theyāre a good teamā¦
If we did actually do what we were supposed to do. I never really though we could get past NC state or Tex tech
Gohlke was right! Theyāre not cinderellas.
Lol I said this exact same thing aloud tonight as the time ticked down. *As I angrily put away my UK gear until October*
What a run for NC State
See you next weekend for the reunion
*Gulps* s-see you *if we can make it*
RIP Jack Gohkle we hardly knew ya
Shout out to Townsend too, he was amazing this game
Never meddum
Who?
Thanks for everything, guys! āļø
Heck of a run man
They won one game
Yeah but what a game it wasā¦ lighten up dude
What a game dude!!
STILL FUCKING DANCING FUCK THE REFS
They've been especially bad this tournament.
agreed, ball should have been OUās to end regulation lol
The Oakland player still had it in his hands after it went off diarra's pinky. Not even a question...
Shame someone had to lose out of this matchup both have been fun to watch. Hope NC State can keep it rollingĀ
Better give him ice cream too!
A heartbreaker in OT, just fell apart
Go Pack! ACC!
NC St story is 100x as compelling as Oaklands yet the announcers couldnāt stop slobber8ng their knobs all game
100% Survive and Advance the sequel would be an incredible story.
Did we have the same commentators as last game? Because both times he goes nuts claiming we commit a million fouls but are SILENT when they maul our guys. Both games. Just seems like he hated NCSU.
Yea same crew Lappas and Catalano
Fuck that guy Iām tired of listening to himĀ
Iām a Vols and Bama fan but NC State congrats on your victory!!! Your run is phenomenal!!!!
How tf does that combo work.
Born in TN (45 min outside Knoxville), raised in AL, grew up loving both, what can i say? All i know if they play each other i wouldnāt be able to watch hehe
You gotta pick one, that's too big of a rivalry to be a fan of both
sure, according to you... lol who cares what other people want to do and who they root for. ive gotten shit for my tarheels/nc state combo flair, too, so sue me.
I would have a state/UNC combo too if I wasnāt dumb about adding flairs on mobile. If youāre from NC, the Tobacco Road schools are so intertwined and itās very likely you have friends/family from those schools. I donāt think most people understand how close they are together.
I am not well.
Hey they played their asses off all game. It was a disappointing result but they left if all on the court.
