NC State at UNC game thread

Looks like we broke out of our mini slump. This is the team from Maui. Saw in another thread people said we will be lucky to split with Duke. Ok...
 
Nobody's going to beat d00k by 50, they're perhaps the most talented team in the country. But I like our chances. FSU coming up and we'll need a great game to beat them. I think Hamilton has the best team he's had in a long time.

Not saying we can beat dook by 50, but that effort twice against them would guarantee a sweep IMO, unless it was another Kentucky type battle where both teams played at a different level. In any event, I like the direction of the team now as opposed to last Saturday.

Anya has not missed many meals
Sad, really. He's always seemed like a likeable kid. With that height and 7'9 wingspan, if he had dropped 60# like Kennedy did, he might be heading for an NBA payday.

I realize it's up to him to want it and work for it and maybe he didn't. But I can't help feeling NC State let him down.
 
Anya let himself down by not working harder to get in shape. Makes me really appreciate all the time and effort Kennedy put on. If Anya had put in the same time and effort, with his skills he could play at the next level. Too late now.

Nose Tackle. Kid is playing the wrong sport.

Saw Anya set a screen out top then two giant steps and a leap, not knowing where the rebound would be, and knocked Kennedy into the basket support, no call.
NCSU staff should be doing more to help the kid. Strength, conditioning and NUTRITION...but then...

Tom, when the kid graduates that program owes him a degree and an apology because IMO a NBA career has been wasted. I strongly believe that had that kid committed to Roy he would very much either be on the NBAs radar right now or maybe even already in the league.

Roy and his staff would have first addressed his physical problems, he would have slimmed down and worked in the weight room to add good strength and good bulk. he would have been taught and then worked with to refine go to scoring moves. Imagine him in the Meeks role, inside position with that 7'9" wing span and that big time strength, he flushes over and thru defenders. Meeks just doesn't have the length to get that consistently done like Anya does. But as is, at best the kid can maybe cash some Euro pay checks and then one day have to use that Parks & Recreation degree. Well on the bright side, at least Yogi wil not be stealing as many pic-a-nic baskets, Anja wil have that covered! LOL
 
Anya is tough to hate. He seems like a nice kid who has a real problem with his weight! Hopefully, he will be able to get help for the weight and find a career in bball or football. (His size and athleticism could easily translate to football)
