How 'bout that Pack!

Lovin' every minute of it...

Congrats to the Pack! And thanks for nothing Maryland - you just handed the DEVIL another ACC Championship! No offense to the Pack but you guys will get drug by DOOk! Anybody want to buy some ACC Championship game tix? I can't go now since UM got knocked out. I was going to root them on, but rooting against dook by rooting for NCS is contradictory to everything I believe in.

Nice win Pack. If there was any doubt about making the tourney there is none now!

I hope the team isn't taking your attitude - they have to beat Wake first. And don't tell me they don't have a chance. State just beat Maryland, after all.

When was there any doubt? ESPN has State as an 8 seed BEFORE the win. Just think, once they beat Wake tomorrow, they'll move up to at least a 5 seed.

I'm happy for the pack, and I am sure Duke fans are too if they beat Wake... otherwise, I would much prefer a Duke / Maryland match up so Duke can take their ass back home a loser...

I love how everyone is just assume Duke will just walk over the Pack. Jesus Christ, we just beat the #1 seed not 30 minutes ago. I'm not saying State should be favored, but with Duke's shallow bench, we should at the very least be given a chance.

Hey man, I hope State beats Duke... I just don't think they have it in them...

Don't have it in them? They took it TO Maryland the entire game. The officiating wasn't great, and every time Maryland looked they were going to make it happen - State would stop them again.

Athletically, Maryland has better athletes than Duke. But watching State play "up close & personal" today, they're a young team maturing quickly, and maybe peaking at the right time. Don't write these kids off - they play with a lot of heart, and it appears I have to eat my words that Herb can't coach. I think that Assistant he brought in from Ohio definitely had a positive impact on the offense.

There was NO quit in the Pack today, and they definitely deserved the victory (Grundy, have you been watching JWill's instructional video on free throw shooting). If Josh Powell brought the same as he did against Duke earlier in the season, it could be very interesting.

State needs to be patient, execute and play D. Keep the turnovers down, and this game could go either way.

Loved sitting in the middle of my wife's family - they had some of the best Heel jokes...enjoyed the Possum (old one) about playing dead at home and getting killed on the road.

But my favorite was the new shoe Nike developed for the NCAA tournament...the NoHeel...

I've heard that possum joke for about every school out there...
