[QUOTE="Legal Jacket, post: 140337, member: 601"] I'm not belittling the program, I just don't think its in the upper half of the ACC. And the stadium is absolutely a POS. Maybe dump is a strong word, but its a horrible place to see a game. It's the most cookie cutter, unmemorable stadium I've ever been to. It's just old enough to not be new, and just new enough to not be historic. It is probably the worst in the ACC in terms of feeling close to the action, with the possible exception of the dean dome (which is in contrast to PNC at least has some historic appeal to it). In terms of venues, there are few places in the ACC where I'd be less inclined to see a game. The home court advantage (and I've been there to see State play just about every ACC team there was at the time I was there) is practically nonexistent. They built it way too big, and the environment really lacks because of it. My only point, all along, is that a coach could easily choose us over NC State, and that a coach easily could reject NC State, but choose to go to GT. I'm not saying that every coach would, no matter what, but NC State is NOT a great job. They made the NCAA tourney once in the 90s. They made it 5 times the following decade, and they've now made it three times since 2006. They've been in the sweet 16 twice since 1989, and haven't made it past that point since 1986. [/QUOTE]
