Hold On!
Hold on to your seats, tonight will be a wild ride! We are about to head into a very unfriendly atmosphere! Can we win? Yes! Will we? Maybe….
Keys:
*Stop Hansbrough - Just like last game, get him frustrated, put a body on him, deny him the ball, and make him foul
*Control Lawson - Courtney Fells main job tonight will be deny Lawson space.
*Shoot Well - We come in 2nd in the ACC in shooting percentage, we much have another dominate effort tonight
*Win the Boards - We must win the boards on both sides of the floor.
*Control the Temp - We must force them to play our game, just like we did in the RBC Center. We CANNOT let them start running and get some open dunks to get the crowd going.
*Keep the Crowd Quiet - If we allow the crowd to get into the game, it will be a long night
*Did I mention Shoot the ball well?
There are a lot of factors that will have to fall into place for the Wolfpack to fly home down 40 on cloud 9 tonight. However, it isn’t impossible, we have already knocked off a team in first place in the league twice, and kept another team from jumping up there again. We know what upsets taste like, but we know what defeat taste like too. We must keep the energy, we must shoot the ball well, and we must remember that there will be a crowd in Reynolds ready to storm Hillsbrough street after another upset!
Look for another surprise outing by the fantastic 5, and look for Sid to go deeper in his bench earlier to throw some different looks at the heels and keep them on their heels.
Go Pack!
