Pack looks to extend streak
Tonight the Wolfpack take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at home in the RBC Center. Historically the Wolfpack shouldn’t worry as the Yellow Jackets have never won in the RBC Center, and come in under 500 through 17 games for the first time since the 2001-2002 season. But the Yellow Jackets have been playing well lately, including a 1 points loss the unc-ch and got a 30 point explosion from Matt Causey against Virginia Tech including 7 3-pointers. But honestly, I don’t think we should use our top defender Courtney Fells on this junior college transfer who before last game his career high was 12 as a freshman at Georgetown. (Causey then transfered to North Georgia College before walking on at Georgia Tech for his Junior year)
Against Miami, the Pack came out with a lot more energy from the start, and it showed throughout the game. Even during the starting line-ups I noticed the added energy and made a comment about it to Jeff. If the Pack can come out tonight with the same energy, and just have fun, this will be a game the nation will enjoy on ESPN2. If not, this could be another bitter fight to the end, if we are lucky. Javy did a great job at the end of the game in the high pressure situation running the show, and if he and Marques can protect the ball and get it to our playmakers, the Pack will continue their impressive home winning streak against the Yellow Jackets.
If you can’t make it out to the RBC Center tonight, don’t forget the game will be on ESPN2 at 7. If you do come to the game, bring the energy since the game will be on TV, and let’s show the nation what it means to be part of the Wolfpack Nation!
