It feels kinda surreal to root for a North Carolina-based team but, why not? They've won me over with this insane postseason run they're on and with Kentucky gone, I've got nothing to lose. NC State for national champs!
This was probably the most atrociously officiated game I’ve ever seen. Great effort by both teams to play through an absolutely repugnant showing by the refs.
Calling Middlebrooks for a foul when that Oakland player practically jumped him, missing the Oakland backcourt call near the end, and then calling Diarra for fouls when on at least two of them it was either all ball or he had hands up and didn’t even hit the shooter had me in fits. Seemed like the refs hated State all night.
I'm in Moldova and depend on good highlights because I can't get the games. How do you have highlights that cut from a minute left in the game to 3 minutes left in OT? It would be nice to see how regulation ended. I'm an Auburn grad, but NCSU it's my 2nd team after living in Wake Forest and Raleigh for almost a decade.

NC State has that lethal combo of guards. 2 shooters and 1 creator/Penetrator... with the BIG BOY in the front court and a very UNDERRATED PF who cleans up the boards. And 2-3 bench guys who can get you 10-15 pts on a good night... team is scary and wouldn't shock me if they made a Final 4 run. -Pac 12 Fan
literally if they just had the size they would've easily won and that big man on nc state literally only went left but it was a good game none the least
@@adamcabral9182 also the oakland 3 point star was cold, he nailed a few at the end to keep them in the game , but i was really rooting hard for oakland since my dayton flyers gave their game to arizona with a million turn overs
💥💥it's a shame these two teams have to play each other in the second round. This not the first time two lower seeded team faced off in the 2nd round after pulling upsets, i remember it happing a couple of other times.
People keep talking about the refs but really we need announcers that know more about the rules cause they created the narrative that the refs were making bad calls before they even made any
this is why on some games if the TV broadcasters are talking out of their butts i’ll mute the TV and put on the radio broadcast. The radio announcers have to be on-point since there’s no visual representation
@@hdelano11 your comment proves that the announcers didn’t help explaining that call well even though the Nc State player tip the ball he did not influence the direction of the ball or jar it out of the Oaklands players hand before he released it if the Oakland player had completely let go of the ball with both hands before it touched the NC State player or if the NC State player continued to touch the ball through the full follow through of the pass then Oakland would have the ball out of bounds
Anyone have any recommendations on watching these condensed game recap without seeing thumbnail spoilers? All of these highlights from March Madness’s youtube channel shows the winning team in the thumbnail.
I think he defs could go to the NBA. His size is good and can shoot and has a good paint hook. He defs could get a bench role in nba. He is 6 foot 6 after all
So for the Kentucky fans that are going to come watch this. The only thing NC State did better than Kentucky (THAT WAS IN THEIR CONTROL) was rebound the ball Kentucky loss the rebound battle by 1, NC State won it by 14. Also on Offense NC State stuck with running the offense through the big. For Kentucky this would have been Tre which they did on the first possession and scored. I expected the plan to be have DJ attack to collapse the defense then kick or be ready for the offensive reb. When Reed was in have Tre at the high post let the defense crash and kick to the open 3. I trust Cal to have made an effective game plan, which is evident in the only looks we got we just missed the shots we normally make🤷🏿♂️
state player had his arms wrapped around Gohlke all night but never got called for fouling him until almost the end of the game. not good defense by state. he just got away with repeated fouling.
in fairness oakland committed a ton of fouls on defense aganist burns if they called them all the entire front line of oakland might have fouled out im a UNC fan so I don't like State but its a fact
"We're the red and white for State and we know we are the best, hands behind our backs we can take on all the rest, over the hills Carolina, Devils and Deeks stand in line, the red and white for NC State GO STATE!"
When the score was 15-17, Lampman (Oakland) hits a three. But the score shows the 3 pts went to NC State to make it 15-20 when it should have been 18-17. Did this ever get corrected?
If you’re coming here to complain about the scoreboard and say it was rigged, let me lay it out for you. Oakland initially got points for an NC 3 at 2:10. When Oakland got the next 3 at 2:17, the points were added to NC state to make up for the initial mistake. Scoreboard was correct from that moment on.
Why is nobody talking about the missed call before OT? That was absolutely Oakland's ball. I dont care because it's not my team and they were never winning in my bracket. But fair is fair.
Go back and watch it again...I'm a state fan and originally thought we caught a break but after 2nd replay, you can see the Oakland player still pushing the ball after it hit Diarra's pinky.
Big UK fan here and NC State played so much better on defense than my boys did. This is the result when you have players that play for each other instead of believing it doesn't matter because the money's gonna be there. Maybe Jimmy V is smiling down on you guys this year. Good Luck!!!
My dude, watch the shot right before. Oakland got points for an NC shot. You really think no one that was there would have called them out on that if it didn’t end up fixed?💀
It was fixed within a minute, confusingly, I’ll admit. Oakland got the points for an NC 3 and then instead of fixing it immediately, they waited until Oakland got a 3 and added that 3 to NC state. So the scoreboard was correct after that, but very confusing to watch.
Congratulations to NC State but why did the coach let that golke dude Force those threes. Like that ?? Down the stretch they had plenty of time for more high percentage shots and maybe get some stops and possibly win the game
