Box Score

-- The four starters not named Scott Wood missed six shots between them and NC State hit a rather absurd 28 of 34 two-point attempts (82.4%). The Macrowave was a perfect 7-for-7 over the final 20 minutes...I think he enjoys playing these midget teams. Still gotta work on the free throw shooting, though.

-- The Pack's defensive effort in the second half wasn't nearly as good but they did at least lock down the defensive glass, and the offense exploded for the second consecutive game.

-- Josh Davis's nickname, per Tim Peeler, is "Go Hard," and while that's appropriate, we've got to come up with something catchier.

Oh boy

You want the X-rated or G-rated euphemism for Peeler’s weak-ass attempt at a nickname for Davis? ;-)

And I wholeheartedly agree that he needs one. This kid is the most pleasant recruiting surprise for us in hoops in a LONG time. I had zero expectations for him… hell, he’s more ready to play than either Howell or Painter… pretty sure no one saw that coming.

So back to the nickname… how about “O-Face”? (As in O-Reb, but with the obvious double meaning)

My thoughts about Davis

following the NW game have been proven completely wrong. That is one awful nickname though, isn’t that what woth does after every “BOOM MOTHERFUCKERS!”?

How the hell do you know?

Am I mic’d up or something? Someone got a secret webcam tucked onto my Wii receiver?

I suddenly feel so exposed and vulnerable…

Josh Davis

pleassseee, not the “O Face”. :-) what movie was that from?

i remember following some back and forth at a blog (SFN?) about Josh Davis after Lowe recruited him. one blogger, most likely from the grammar a class mate of Josh’s, said in so many words that Josh Davis just dunked over everyone in high school. i attended the game Saturday. Davis knows how to position himself to receive a pass and then dunk on everyone. Davis seems quicker then most to the ball for an offensive rebound and relentless in getting a score. good find!
