[QUOTE=Mike_Persinger;270647]Is that game televised or do I have to buy a ticket?[/QUOTE]
I think itâs on Time Warner. Same channel as App and HP games.
Iâll be hopeful and say we stop our âskidâ and come out with a W.
We havenât exactly played stiff competition yet - but many of the games remind me of âPanthers Syndromeâ. At times, we look like we have the ability to hang with anyone, yet struggle to execute. And much like the Panthers of late, we have dropped some games that should have been winnable. However, UNLIKE football - the basketball season is long, and weâve only played 5 games in a lengthy schedule. There will be plenty of opportunities to turn things around throughout the season.
A holiday and 9 days of restâŚIâll go out on a limb and call a win (albeit close).
[QUOTE=Powerbait;270648]Itâs on TV, but you donât have to buy tickets to any of our games do you?[/QUOTE]
If Iâm not working, I donât use my pass for anyone. Just because I can doesnât mean I should. Because of ethics and my desire to be able to write tough stories with no remorse, I donât do that. I donât even take tickets from people connected to the schools, for the same reason. Iâd rather not be beholden to anyone.

Mike,
I donât see anything wrong with using your pass or free tickets from the schools; I would expect you to simply write it up(or place it in the paper) just the way you saw it.
I think we can beat Wake, but they are an ACC team and this game will get some local pub. Therfore (based on history) we will play them close with a chance to win at the end and miss a big 3 under a minute or the front end of a 1-1 to lose by 2.
But then again as over40 stated, I would not be surprised to either win or lose by 12.
Go Niners

Jim will do that, and because heâs working heâll obviously use his pass. I would be there for enjoyment, and if thatâs the case Iâll be happy to pay my way. If itâs TWC, thatâs the only way Iâll see it. Canât get that on DirecTV.
I suppose we lose a close game. We will have 10 days to prep and try âextra hardâ vs a ACC team, because thats how we roll, but in the end, we donât close the deal. Leemire shoots a 28â jumper at the buzzer and we lose 72-70.
Ish Smith will own any PG we throw at him. Bet on it.
FYI for NNN> Picassos has about 30 FREE parking spaces at downtown location (222 South Church St corner of 3rd and Church) It is about a 10-15 minute walk to Bobcat arena. PS $1.50 all domestics on Thursdays.:49ers:

Sure does sound like someoneâs quite the closet Wake fan. Did you watch them any last year? They certainly havenât gotten any betterâŚlosing transfers and obviously a great coach, RIP.

I was thinking the same thing.
I attended numerous Wake games last year, and as bad as we were last year, we could have beaten Wake. I donât think fishniner was around 2 years ago when officiating was the only way Wake won, and that was in one of our worst games we played that year.
The officiating will be what it always is vs the acc: amazing calls that assure the acc team gets the benefit.
[QUOTE=run49er;270649]I think we win this game, then lose to Davidson and SIU.[/QUOTE]
Have the 9ers ever lost to SIU? Itâs been a very one sided rivalry. I know that has nothing to do with this yearâs squads, but Charlotte has beaten some pretty good Saluki teams in the past. Maybe the round ball godâs favor us.
Charlotte is 5-1 vs them. Lost in 1999. I believe the last time we played, we broke their home winnin g streak, longest in the nation then.
Well the good news is Wake hasnât looked very good against Fairfield or WSSU, and they havenât played great defense. The bad news is Iâm betting WSSU and Fairfield could probably beat MonmouthâŚ
Oh wow, Ninerball49, I feel so much better now with your theories. lol

Weâre the home team THIS time.
Just a questionâŚ
The charlotte website says Bobby was 6-5 against the ACC (before GT game). The only win I remember was against NC State in the Raleigh tournament several years ago. The losses I know of are to GT (this year), NC State (NCAA tournament), WFU in Winston, UNC-CH (twice - NCAA and in Chapel Hill). Thatâs 1-5. Bobby is now 6-6 vs. the ACC (if the article was right). Anyone remember the others?
AND before anyone tells me to google the answerâŚI tried.
As for the Wake gameâŚexperience tells me we blow it. Wishful thinking says we win. We have to hit FTs and not shoot too many 3s (not an original thought).
Finally, just for funâŚanyone know Bobbyâs record on a neutral court? Seems to me we play horrible on neutral courts. I guess some were home games but when I was in school we were terrible at the old Charlotte Coliseum. Remember the Pepsi tournament with us, UNC-CH, USC, and USC. It was awful.

Unless theyâre counting the two wins over Miami when they were in the Big East, I donât think thereâs any way thatâs correct.
I remember Henry Williams in the Diet Pepsi tournament we took top 20 Bama and Depaul down back in 91. Since NCstate didnât have anything for Bama. And, we never got invited back. I guess either ACC or A-10 refs it would turn out the same. We just have to play hard, hit our FTs and no âfun and gunâ as you stated. Then we may have a chance.
Weâve beat Miami 4 times under Lutz, beat NC State once, beat VT once. Idk why they counted VT and Miami but thatâs got to be what they meant. Weâre 0-5 against GT.
