NC State Postgame

[phil77]

Its a joke

 

[Blanko97]

The reality is this team really isn’t all that talented. If you look at the individual pieces, they are way too easy to defend and are prone to making boneheaded mistakes. The talent really isn’t there.

Red is not a good coach either. I am perfectly glad to clean house.

No they are talented, red just makes them worse. He’s done it 3 years in a row, it’s not a coincidence

Idc about the game. I just can’t stand to watch Russell playing in garbage time. I get terrible visions.

Only part of the game I liked. He's a football player. These toothpicks aren't gonna hurt him.

Our most athletic team was autrys first year. Judah,Q,maliq. We have to guys that are athletic and use it on the court, Kyle and Donnie. JJ once in a while.

 

[Scott11]

Another second half disgrace.
-if you don’t count Kingz, we do not have a guard on the roster who can play a lick of defense. And none of our guards can shoot from the outside or distribute the ball to get other guys good looks. Alex Kline skates, but that has to be on him to some extent.
-we also have very little rebounding, which is demonstrated when we use our pathetic zone.
-the selfish shot selection is getting worse and will continue to do so with every loss. George was clearly looking to score from jump and repeatedly took shots that had no chance of success. He drives into the lane at 6 feet with absolutely no chance of scoring. And JJ doesn’t do anything other than hunt for points. We have guards with no interest in distributing nor any ability to do so. I have no idea what Kiyan is bringing to the table at this point. He’s shooting is abysmal and his defense is even worse.
-he isn’t perfect, but Donnie played his tail off tonight. He was rebounding by himself and had nobody help him get easy baskets. There were times when he had a huge size advantage and JJ and George ignored him. He was also picking his guy up full court, which makes no sense and our coaches should not be using his energy on that. It’s like asking Jesse Edwards to cover corner threes from the middle of the zone.
-I’ve reached the level of acceptance, but that doesn’t make me feel any less disgusted.

Half these guys stopped playing real defense weeks ago. They'll play for a possession or two here and there but theyre just going through the motions out there. Its pretty obvious. This defense compared to the defense being played earlier in the year against Houston, ect is night and day from what we've seen the past few weeks.

Honestly people need to start worrying if we are even going to make the ACC tourney…I’m being dead serious

Our 3 guards play poorly more often than they play well - a recipe for losing

They are checked out and know the season is over. Plain as day.

 

[Scooch]

JJ Starling took NINETEEN shots tonight, guys. Let’s all luxuriate in how glorious that is.

A rich man’s version of Kenny Payne, but still Kenny Payne.

Would probably be better if we didn't at this point to be honest, we can fire Red quicker

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Nait George 4pts
Calvin Russel 3pts

Think that sums up the game

Nait George, 4 points on 12 shots

JJ, 19 shots in 28 minutes

Nate Kingz (supposedly the best shooter) only 5 shots in 30 minutes.

Red doesn't deserve to coach another game if George and JJ are combining to shoot 31 shots.

 

[baggerbob]

Red needs to be relieved tomorrow. Let Engelstad coach out the year while the search happens.

JJ, who has started roughly 100 games in his career, had 17 pts on 19 FGAs, 0 boards, 0 assists, 1 steal and 1 TO. He came in shooting 49% TS% this year which is atrocious.

I’m singling him out because he is the embodiment of what is wrong with Red.

And the main reason Red gets fired, he tied his career to JJ being a star. And JJ is at best an average player, who hasn't gotten better in 3 years.

Like, Carmelo took 19 shots *once* in our six game title run.

 

[sufan59]

Btw the next coach is going to make something of Russell. He’s beyond athletic. Likely needs some refining of shot form, etc. He’s actually an asset to basketball.

 

[phsyra]

10.5 was easy money betting on nc state...as long as autry is coach there is money to be made

Not worried at all. Sooner this season is over, the better.

I don’t want Russell seeing the floor at all. I don’t need him tearing his ACL or something and the 2026 football team getting ephed up also.

When nobody else can score, this is what happens.
Why don't you call out George, who was terrible (2-12), or the other guys, none of whom topped 6 points?

 

[CorduroyG]

February is gonna be a bloodbath.

Looking like 3 regular season wins max the rest of the way.

I actually feel bad for autry. Its not his fault they hired someone who wasnt ready for this kinda job. This is gonna be as embarassing as it gets.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Keep Red all year no sense getting rid of him now or so I heard. Let’s see if we can lose by 80 here in February.

 

[beetledoc]

So, is the END of Autry near, here or TBD?

 

[Scooch]

I don’t want Russell seeing the floor at all. I don’t need him tearing his ACL or something and the 2026 football team getting ephed up also.

Amen.
