Last night the heels took on a much weaker opponent, but one that makes a great game to watch. The wolfpack neeeded a win over carolina to make a case for the NCAA tournament in March. Last night just wasn't their night. Before the game i met up with a few freinds from state, including my twin brother. There was alot of junk talking going on, but they all knew what the outcome would be. As i was sitting waiting for the game to start, i realized why i loved carolina basketball so much. Its not just how good the team is, but the energy you feel in the stadium as everyone is eager in anticipation of the tip-off. The experience of watching the heels, and the goose bumps you get when danny or wayne drains a three is unforgettable and is something that never gets old. You couple those feelings with the fact that we were playing state, a rtp rival, the excitement couldn't be contained. I wish that for the first 5 minutes of the game I was sitting in the student section so I could jump and yell without being kicked out of my seat. I had to settle with just imagining myself doing it.
Anyway, the game wasn't the most exciting, but was nonetheless very entertaining. The first half was, just like always, kept close and, in some instances, state had the lead. This was due to their point guard, gonzalez, playing the best game of his career. I've watched a few state games, and this guy was making shots last night that aren't in his skill set. At halftime, the usual blues brothers routine came out, even though they do basically the same thing everytime, its still fun to watch because they change a little bit each time. last night, they had an old woman dance with them, and she was lovin it and the crowd loveed it. They keep the fans happy when the heels didn't play a great half, maintaining the energy in the fans which translates to energy in the athletes. So, like clockwork, the heels came out in the second half and just tired the pack out. Danny, wayne, ty, and tyler all scored over 15 points. Thats the distributiuon that wins national championships.

agreed. My boyfriend goes to state and there was also trash talking coming from his side, but it was evident what the outcome would be. No one can really say much against this championship team. Sometimes I feel like NC State's just a little bitter because we're their rivals, but we don't really acknowledge them as ours, haha. It's sad really.
