NC State Post Game

[kingtidge]

Is that what's on his head?

Yes ... A Maury wig.

 

[Sbucketball]

Bad day and needed not to lose tonight so for that i’m thankful. Eddie with 14 and 15.

 

[phil77]

Yes, on paper this team should be able to play competitive basketball.

I agree with this statement

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think it's pretty clear, we can win games against other bad teams. Well coached teams, even if they get behind, can come back and beat us handily. We have some talent and some size. But, good teams adapt and overcome. Bad teams just fold.

If people don't watch a lot of NBA, we play like bad NBA teams. By this I mean, bad NBA teams don't have excellent talent, but they cause a lot of their own pain. Lapses in attention, not working hard enough on defense, not fighting for good shots. Over the course of the game clock, all those little things to make the game harder add up and become too much to overcome.

That's us most nights.

Eddie is going to be associated with this crappy team and probably won't be remembered with much fondness, but if he was on one of our semi-decent teams I think we'd view his performance this season a lot more favorably.

Yeah the defense isn't great but the scoring, rebounding and playmaking have been respectable. The rebounding in particular has been strong.

We had a game tonight?

Good observation. I get what you're saying.

Good observation. I get what you're saying.

I swear it's because bad NBA teams are so similar. You know it when you see it.

We had a game tonight?

No we didn't. I didn't know we had a game is getting a bit old.

 

[atlanticuse]

No we didn't. I didn't know we had a game is getting a bit old.

So is losing a majority of our games and missing the NCAAT.

 

[Newhouser]

So that Final Four run buys Keats how many years? They are horrible

 

[DilemaCuse]

Good performance, D was best I've seen. Red managed it well. I saw a loss coming so will eat crow, well done by the team and staff.

 

[miamicuse]

Our ultimate goal this season is to be in the sweet sixteen of the ACC tournament.

 

[Scooch]

Nice win. Gotta celebrate the dubs when there haven’t been a lot.

The other thing that we do that makes the game hard for us is we try to play opposite to modern basketball. We try to play inside out and don't shoot a ton of threes, which is opposite of the way the game is played today. It will always put you at a crazy disadvantage when you are constantly getting beat at the 3 point line.

I honestly absolutely loved this duo announcing tonight. Great jobs gents.

Coach K’s son in law Spatola is very good, though I missed the game tonight

Without question.

Of course, now that we know what his salary is, that plays into things. People will say ( and I’m not saying right or wrong) “for that money, he should be Rony (or for me and BEES) Bill Smith”

But there is no doubt that had we would have recalled hm differently had we surrounded him with talent.

 

[Owens guy]

Can we ask the ACC to have a rule that teams can’t press us?

My son is in 6th grade which is the first year presses are allowed and it’s a similar chaos when his team gets pressed.

 

[JDubbin]

Lampkin genuinely dominated tonight physically, it was fun to see. We’ll take the dub & keep it moving, nice to not have to sweat it out…

P.S. can you imagine the fallout here if Syracuse went to a final 4 & came back the next year as absolute complete garbage?! The NC State precipitous fall is wild…

 

[Jake]

I’ll take the win. There have been too few of them this year. Watching JJ shot-put free throws is something. He is a mental wreck out there sometimes. I’d rather have a dude in a recliner shoot them.

Eddie’s gather and slam when NCState was making a run felt like it took the air out of them.

Officiating was….odd. Both teams got hosed on some inconsistent whistles.

There isn’t a talent on the floor tonight that is a first or second scoring option on a top 25 team.

Gotta point who can’t point, a shooting guard that can’t shoot, and a center that can’t protect the rim (though Eddie played well tonight).

Good effort however.

Crowd was 7k max - that’s a really important number for the AD.

 

[sufan59]

Up to 119 in Ken Pom. Huge surge after that complete performance tonight.

Does anyone know why a number of students were dressed as bananas?
National Banana Day?
Am I missing something?

Another great post. Thanks.
I agree that the Eddie slammer killed their comeback.
That felt like the game winner.

It is crazy that teams don't press us from the jump. They'd build an easy lead and could reapply if needed.
