[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 865929, member: 253"] Well...I'm not sure if I have yet cleaned off the stink from watching this game. I almost didn't post, but I wanted to try and offer something constructive to the discussion other than, "We stink. We are doomed!" Did anybody try to throw things at the TV in the first half (or computer, in my case)? Yeah, it was one of the worst I have ever seen. It was a perfect storm of us being extremely cold (serious question--did the team go out drinking the night before?), NC State hitting everything (including a 3 where the ball hit the back of the rim, went straight up into the air and came down in the basket), and us playing with as little energy as any Pastner team ever. -When we went zone, they shot the lights out. When we went man, they just switched with Howard's guy and we left him out there to guard on the perimeter EVERY TIME! That's on the coaches, and its really foolish to not tell Howard to NOT switch onto guards. Between that and very low effort and energy...defense was basically non-existent. The only bright spots on defense were Jalen Moore and DSmith. Those guys brought the energy. Moore is earning more minutes, IMO -Our offense....was also horrible, but mostly because we couldn't make an open shot. Usher and Devoe had 26 points....on 29 shots. Ouch.
