Yeah, ECU even beat us via walkoff. This is what someone wrote on /r/collegebasketball about it... For everyone wondering what NC State shit is, allow me to share a post made by /u/ClaudeLemieux that sums it up well. I encourage all NC State fans to save this somewhere and be able to post it for future reference. Feel free to make your own additions as well. NC State Shit will be where the team starts playing well, and you get hope. Things will go phenomenally, and then NC State will find brand new ways to lose. I know every fanbase says this, but at NC State it's actually a science: basketball - there's always a debate when up 1 at the end and shooting FT's. Make both, go up 3, but give the other team an orchestrated attempt at the 3, or go up 2 and intentionally brick the second FT so their shot is a mess? Well NC State managed to find a way to test both theories in a game against Florida, losing on a 75 foot swish from Chandler Parsons. NC State hasn't beaten Coach K in Durham in 20+ years. Well in 2011, against all odds, we go up 20 @ 4 Duke with 11 minutes to go. Well all of a sudden we forget how to offense, and losing that lead in 7 short minutes, where I can still see Austin Rivers nailing the go-ahead 3 just ten short feet away from me in my nightmares. NC State Shit is being up 16 against (5) St. Louis with <8 mins to go, and losing because somehow you forget the gameplan of "give it to the ACC POY". NC State Shit is mounting a 17 point comeback against (3) FSU, and then the next week losing by 37 at home to a shitty Virginia. NC State Shit is beating undefeated 1 Duke at home, and then losing to Wake Forest on a horrifying travel that everyone EXCEPT the referee saw. NC State Shit is beating UNC for the first time in six years, and then losing @ Maryland on a last second tip-in that no one felt like rebounding. NC State Shit is getting hyped into the preseason top 10, and being voted at the top of preseason ACC polls, and then limping into the NCAAT as an 8 seed. NC State Shit is being handed a lifeline by Roy Williams to shoot 2 FTs with 7 seconds left in OT, missing the second before Marcus Paige shoots a nasty floater to win it at the buzzer. NC State Shit is having Jim Valvano lose his job for allegations that the NCAA themselves have admitted were overplayed and exaggerated by the media. NC State Shit is being up 25 against UNC, blowing the lead, managing to retake it at the end, and then giving up a 70+ punt return TD with < 30 seconds left. NC State Shit is like being kicked in the nuts so hard that your vasectomy was undone without your knowledge and all of a sudden you have 3 kids you know you can't afford to take care. NC State Shit is having Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson and Mike Glennon as starting QBs ,and only making 1 New Years Bowl between the three of them. NC State Shit is having some kid from Wilmington grow up as a huge fan of your school because of David Thompson, then end up going to UNC instead, get drafted by the Bulls, win 6 titles and become the undisputed GOAT NC State Shit is a power only the AIRBHG can understand. NC State Shit is being the last ACC team to beat Florida State, but also losing ACC games for the next two years. Alcoholism is what NC State Shit wishes it was.
