Burns is one of those players I have always enjoyed watching. He plays hard and enjoys playing so much he smiles a lot

The antithesis of Edey.  Robot vs Mr Charisma

I don't think so, they have to have the best crews on the final four.  Nobody wants to see early foul trouble.  None of the ticky-tack BS calls that he got in the B1G!

TV Teddy says hi.

He’s sick. Sorry been doing a combination of drinking, mowing and watching basketball.

Peak male activities.

I didn't watch a second of anything Purdoo after the game but from the headlines and comments I've seen elsewhere it seems like Edey is allowing his inner a**hole to bloom.

Whatever. Lose next week, try your hand at the NBA, and get used to getting "looked over" again. Guys like Anthony Edwards are salivating at the thought of dunking on your face. 

Also: yes, I'm bitter right now.

I hope this kid's parents let him go to the final four game against Purdoo.

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.

Not sure how Foul Ming isn't getting more appreciation. I IRL lol'd.
