I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted saying I’m an NC State alum who also considers himself a bigger Indiana fan but I’m saying it now. I love this NC State team. To be honest I think burns will have 3 fouls in the first 5 mins against edey but my goodness has this team been fun to watch. I’m a younger Indiana fan (25) and this run has been so much freaking fun. I just hope I can experience it for my number one team.

I know some of you can’t fathom rooting for another team outside of Indiana. My dad went there and instilled this fandom in me since I was a youngin. but growing up in North Carolina I just couldn’t afford the out of state tuition. Seeing these guys beat UNC and Duke multiple times on this run is not going to do me any favors when I delusionally think whatever Indiana team we have next can make a similar run.

All of this to say I want nothing more than for DJ Burns and the Wolfpack to beat the mfers from up north and continue their streak of losing to double digit seeds. I’m on an emotional high right now and will spend the entire week convincing myself of one simple statement that has been ringing true for the last 3 weeks “why not us”

That's awesome.  I had not really watched NC state until the acc tourney.  I don't know what clicked for them but they are on quite the ride. It's been fun to watch.  I suspect 99.9% of this board will be cheering them on with you come Saturday night.

This is probably the coolest chart you'll find on college basketball.

Seeds beating other seeds. So many blanks where it's probably impossible for it to happen. Don't think you'll ever see a 15 vs a 1.

 

How in the heck did a 16 seed play a 16 seed?

Bandwagon hopper. Some of us have found them that unlikeable for decades.

Burns having fun, taking selfies under the stands after the NC State game.

Contrast that with his next foe, who drops an f-bomb on national TV, plays the overly cliched  "doubters" card and calls out Rick Barnes for not recruiting him.

Burns is just one of those guys everyone falls in love with. I hope he takes Foul Ming to the woodshed.

Tonight, Caitlin Clark said that at the start of the season, a lot of people counted Iowa out because of the players they graduated. 

Iowa was No. 3 in the preseason. 

Yesterday, Lerch talked about all the doubters who passed him over.

He didn't start playing basketball till he was a sophomore in high school. Didn't even like the sport initially. Preferred baseball and hockey. 

Doubters. Haters. People counting us out. Nobody gave us a chance. 

JFC, PEOPLE -- LET'S GET SOME NEW MATERIAL!!!

Just because I was that bored and that geeky.....kept stats as best I could for the McDonald's All-American game yesterday (it's posted on youtube now).  FWIW, they had Bryson Tucker's coach on and he talked about how Bryson was a good student (3.7 high school GPA) and that he was a volunteer mentor for special needs students.

I think Ace Bailey is the best Pro in the class. Got my eye on Edgecomb too.
