I would offer they should've beaten Wake, UND, and GTech with the players they had available and
they'd then be in the running for the 4-6 seed, in addition to being a lock for the NCAAs.

And a quick look at stats ... wake shoots 47% from deep and SU' big three goes 16-42; against GTech, big 3 go
12-44; against UND, the 3 go 15-39, and get killed on boards, losing to a team without its best two players.
Additionally, that NCSU game was there for the taking.  I think coaching is part of the problem in that a) "get
out on the shooters" and b) "when you're off, stop shooting so much" could be reinforced.  I mean, SU let a guy w
RED HAIR go 5-8 from deep.  How hard can it be to find that guy?  The part I dislike, a pass into the paint with a
kick out fools SU a lot.  If you're conceding the midrange shot, stop collapsing leaving a shooter open.  The lack
of any semblance of a post offense is ridiculous.  Brissette's being guarded by a 5'7" kid?  POST UP!

But while I get annoyed with the coaching, JB doesn't play, and the players gotta execute this stuff out also.  You
can't lose a shooter w red hair, and you can't let a guy who couldn't clear a local phonebook own you on the glass,
as UND did.
