I can't say that I ever pull for anything but a sinkhole when they play but somehow I find the idea of State ever winning at anything more offensive. Guess I'm just old school like Roy. I don't like Duke's style but I hate everything about State.

I hate ncst and I have absolutely no respect for ncst

d00k at State on Monday.
Who ya got?
I usually root for injuries in this game, but that’s just the devil in me. And I really shouldn’t do that, it’s bad karma for my team, and it’s just “not Cricket ol boy”… but what can I say?

Also, I’d normally root for the underdog, or knocking off the top team in the ACC… which has usually been d00k (ever since the David Thompson years.)

But in this game, I guess all in all I’d rather see state lose. It always seems like if d00k loses the game just before ours, it gives them just that much more incentive coming into their “one and done” night in Cameroon.

Plus watching the peckers lose in their final home game is always fun… and it helps us in ACC seeding.

Sometimes a loss just before the end of the season can be a catalyst.
And when we lose in Raleigh and the final four is in Indy, we've won the title three times!

But I still would rather beat them because they are so freaking grating and a will Wade is a wad of smegma
 
I still can’t figure out why Louisville is ranked so much higher than us in the metrics. Our wins are massively better than theirs. Is losing to Cal and SMU that big of a deal? Their best win is KY, which is like our 5th best win. They did beat a handful of over 300 rated teams by like 50 points, so I guess that matters a lot.

Will a 20-11 regular season get them in with no decent wins other than against clemson and a depleted UNC ?

I think they’d be in unless they get absolutely blown out in by dook & in their ACCT game or if they really struggle with Stanford, but I certainly think they’d be in danger of visiting beautiful Dayton, OH.

Blowout wins and garbage time stats matter.

But our record in 2023 was similar with quality wins over Ohio State, Michigan, and UVA

I don't keep up with the metrics. Despite their record two quality wins, I'm guessing they have some quality losses and have been good playing possession to possession in their games ?
