View from the Dagobah System: North Carolina State

A few observations from my seat high above Jim Boeheim Court.

  • Overlooked in how poorly SU played was how well they took care of the ball- only 5 turnovers. No way they win the game shooting 38% if they turn the ball over 10+ times.
  • Blacknight76- What happened? I begged you and your fellow students to cease and desist with the Cotton-Eyed Joe. Not only did you dance it again- you danced it WITHOUT MUSIC
  • Gotta admit, I was a little disappointed not to see Sidney Lowe in his signature red coat.
  • Slightly disappointing crowd of 22,334. However, as we all know, size doesn't matter. The crowd was in it from start to finish.
  • Got a chance to spend a few minutes at the charity auction before the game. One of the items available- spend a day with Carrier Dome announcer Mike Veley. Starting bid was...wait for it...FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! I realize it was for charity, but still, five hundred dollars?

Orange Power Rankings (Anagram Edition)- a season long rating of the Orange players with added emphasis placed on the most recent games (last game’s ranking in parentheses):

1. Cock Skin Jar (1)- Fans have to be starting to take Jackson for granted at this point. Rick put together another nice outing with no real help from Baye, Fab or CJ Fair.

2. Jade Scorpion (3)- Another horrible shooting night from Scoop. However, 23 points, 6 assists and only one turnover are enough to move him in front of Kris Joseph- who I'm not even sure actually played in this game.

3. Jokers Ship (2)- Maybe Matt Joseph actually did start this game.

4. Saint Weirdo (4)- Dion- saying you can shoot the three doesn't make it so.

5. A Beauties Mask, Yo (5)- Looked like a freshman tonight.

6. The Rabid Cornn (6)- Not playing like a rabid anything.

7. CJ Fair (7)- I have an anagram for him- Josh Pace.

8. Lamb Foe (8)- Started off like a lion in this one. Of course you know what wolves do to lambs.

9. Noisome Joke (9)- Honestly, if Mookie doesn’t get in the game when the opposition is playing zone and nobody on the team could throw it in the water from a boat, when is he going to get in a game? Activate the transfer alert.

10. Jolt, A Hardness Emu (10)- Tough spot for 'Cuse fans. The better CJ and Baye play the less Emu on the court.
