Post game thoughts...

I applaud the effort tonight without our best player. Huge props to this team.

Up 6, with the ball...

We blew it. Like Clemson, this one stings a lot.

Ughhhhh.

Anybody create a “as of right now” acc tourney bracket?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Agreed. Not sure why Quincy didn’t touch the ball the last 5 minutes. Impressed with Girard. Wish his 3’s would fall.

 

[Cuse House]

The silver lining is I think we all would take a loss tonight for a win in the next 2. There are still the best opportunities for us to make a statement moving forward.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Really surprised Q didn't get more touches at the end. Was NC State doing anything different?

 

[orange7]

Too many bone headed plays will cost this team March madness. Up 6...girard throws an alley oop from half court to Edwards, who I know wouldn’t even convert that. And the rest is history...

 

[Briancuse]

On to.next year.

 

[upperdeck]

we barely got any shots off the last 5-6 min just TO after TO and then missed shots around the basket when NC st missed the FTS.

I don’t buy any of that. I take wins. The only guaranteed thing is we lost to clemson and to nc state in brutal fashion. Those were some big time chances at two more wins. Even if we win the next two it doesn’t change that fact.

The lack of effort down the stretch on D and the silly, lazy bounce passes killed us.

No idea why QG didn't get touches on the blocks down the stretch,

Also, it would be nice if our shooters could...shoot.

Notre Dame and Virginia Tech were nooo different.

Big turnover by Buddy when NCState first went up by 1 and we needed to answer

Proud of the fight. We have fought like hell to have a chance. NC State got some backboard love that really stung. They have some real great character kids too... Life has a way of teaching lessons.

We need the next two and I don't think we get them. Either way I like what we have seen. Had this team showed up in the non conference we would be in good shape. Hope they finish strong and build momentum into next year. It was good for this team to live without Hughes. Add Goodine and Richmond and growth from others and the future isn't bad.

 

[hungrychuck]

Certainly can't fault the effort. Good job by guys stepping up with their leader and best player sidelined.

But did look young and a little rattled down the stretch. NC State made big plays and we didn't.

Now it's down to winning the ACC tourney.

We win the next two and we are in. This one stings but it doesn’t end the season.

But what does that have to do with tonight?

 

[BludOrange]

The Lamanzana effect strikes again, as the game was over when they banked in that 3.

 

[orange7]

If we can’t even beat Clemson or NC State, we won’t beat Fla St. and Louisville, who are way more athletic than us.

 

[Bayside44]

They were a guy short. Still were too careless with the ball late. In 2 years that lob from Joe to Edwards works. Not sure what Buddy was doing telegraphing those passes.

 

[samspann1]

I'd be shocked if we won 1 of the next 2, let alone both of them. I hate to see what GOOD, athletic defenders will do to our offense.

 

[Reyes39]

Buddy had some real untimely turnovers today. Feels everyone missed a bunny or two. Real rough loss but still a lot of ball left.

 

[samspann1]

Not sure what Buddy was doing telegraphing those passes.

No idea, but what's worse is that he did it more than once.

 

[Cuse House]

But what does that have to do with tonight?

Nothing, and I never implied that it did. I said we still have good opportunities to get good wins.

 

[Newhouser]

Agreed. Not sure why Quincy didn’t touch the ball the last 5 minutes. Impressed with Girard. Wish his 3’s would fall.

I wonder that too. Personally I put that on the staff. Running stuff thru Marek and for Buddy was not working.

Yeah that pass was ...wow bad.
