Snow? So?

The snowfall pouring into the Triangle on Tuesday wasn’t expected to affect two major college basketball games in the area Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

N.C. State was expected to bus to Durham Tuesday afternoon for an 8 p.m. sold-out game with Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium. That game will be televised on WRAL-TV.

"Fans, teams travel. A lot of different logistics go into putting a game on, each and every game," Mitch Moser, Duke's associate athletic director, said. "So, it would be a pretty big deal to try and reschedule it."

The Clemson Tigers planned to take a charter flight to the Triangle on Tuesday afternoon for Wednesday’s game at North Carolina. That game is at 9 p.m. in the Dean E. Smith Center.

One CIAA game, however, was moved because of snow. The St. Augustine's-Johnson C. Smith doubleheader scheduled for Tuesday in Charlotte has been moved to Thursday. The women's game starts at 5:30 p.m., followed by the men's game at 7:30 p.m.

Are we (*gulp*) ahead by four at half-t-t-t-time?

No and YES!

I wish I was doing reverse psychology. I feel like State has a less than 5% chance of winning this game. For State to win, we have to do EVERYTHING right and hope Duke is tired from playing in the snow all day today. :)

I wonder if Sydney breaks out the "RED" jacket. The Red one tonight and Oliver Purnell breaking out the Safety orange tomorrow night in Chapel Hill.

Correction, Deacons. Duke by AT LEAST 23.

I'm thinking this could be a 40+ point blowout, and if Duke wins by less, it's because Coach K chose not to embarrass us any worse than he had to. I don't see anything to look forward to in this game. Glad we only play 'em once this year.
