NC State Postgame

[MikeSU02]

Notre Dame has UVA in OT right now, btw.

Starling dribbled off his leg like a doofus and then nc state immediatly got a dunk...he really stinks

 

[crv1728]

At least he got us 17 points, which is more than 3 of the other starters combined, or the entire bench combined.

We would have lost by more, and been behind by 20 a lot sooner without JJ at least trying to score.

How could others score when JJ didn't pass? He had ZERO assists.

This isnt Autry's fault. He wasn't ready for the job and the powers that be should have been adults and known that. All of this was obvious last year.

I just hope the next coach preaches fundamentals. Our team cant dribble, pass, shoot, or play defense. Its real bad.

I used to feel bad for Red until he refused to hire another assistant coach this past summer. This after the seemingly useless Engelstad hiring. I also think he didn't do anything to improve himself as a head coach in these three years. He has consistently blown off suggestions that there might need to be a more defined offensive plan. At the very least, he could have worked with someone on his public speaking. For about three weeks, I thought that he had figured out the importance of defense. And we are seeing how long that lasted. Regardless of what led to his hiring, he has not risen to the challenge.

We wouldn’t beat Autry’s son school who is a mid major

 

[Trueblue25]

This was Red’s 21st double digit loss since being hired.

The powers that be on the hill should feel ashamed for what they’ve done to this program.

Malpractice. Inept. Selfish.

 

[Scooch]

Why not in basketball?

I’m certain that he’s playing hoops because that was one of his demands to sign with SU.

His value is in football and he should spend his time focused on that. If he wants to sit on the bench and goof around in practice for hoops he’s welcome to.

Does anyone know how he learned about hockey line changes? What big time coach does that? I wish there was more logic.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Hoisting three straight 3's is poor basketball IQ.

Yes, that stretch was really bad, That's where the game got away.
But who else was scoring other than Donnie? Nobody.

UNC under Dean Smith and John Wooden would do that.

If he passes the ball, but the guy misses the shot, does he get an assist?

Well said. It seems like he never tried to improve anything and just assumed doing the same stuff with better players would magically produce better results. Alas, not the case.

You watched the game, right? You saw the greedy and selfish play of the two starting guards. How exactly are the other players supposed to score when THEY NEVER SEE THE BALL?

 

[Conrad13]

I expect the team to mail it in for the last 10 games.

I totally agree with you but I just don't get it. How can someone work so hard to be a DI basketball player, spend hours and hours working out and practicing and then play half heartedly in front of thousands of people?

 

[IthacaMatt]

If I hadn’t seen you posting here for so long, a comment like this would make me think you were an Autry burner account.

Edit:
My apologies, I meant to quote this post of yours:

So, do you disagree?
Nobody else made more than TWO SHOTS in the whole game.
What do you want?
At least somebody was trying to win.

WHEN THEY'RE GETTING PAID TO PLAY THE STUPID GAME!

 

[Fat tire 13]

My base case right now is 2-8 for the remaining games

ACC record 5-13
Overall record 14-17

Hopefully the past two years represent rock bottom

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We're snowballing into something that could catch fire...

They got paid. How many times have you seen athletes get the fat contract and then lose that desire to grind.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Clearly we have no offense, so it’s impossible to do anything, but Nait George has been without a doubt our worst starter this season

 

[Irt4su]

Team really rallied for Red against those awful fans who booed him.

I think I might agree

 

[Fly Rodder]

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

Cole Certa for ND has 34 tonight on 17.

Pssssht, Cole Certa. Like that’s a real human name.

 

[TinyManInside]

Not a big deal, this was Quadir's Super Bowl.

Ummm. He’s played like that for most of the season.
