[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 292857"] I was able to make the game tonight. Terrible traffic and rain, so I got there 45 minutes early and ate a hot dog for dinner in my seat and watched the teams warmup. Congratulations to the NC State team and fans. They have every reason to roll over and crap the bed, but they refuse to. They played hard to the very end, even when things weren’t going their way down the home stretch. They played defense hard and with lots of energy. They swarmed the offensive boards (which is ultimately why they won). To lose by 2 when we had a good look at a 3 from Tadric’s favorite spot, when we missed like 10 free throws, when we missed like 12 layups, when we give up nearly 15 offensive boards and 10+ second chance points…take your pick. We needed 1 small break anywhere and the game outcome would be different. There were some very bad calls, but I saw some bad calls that went both ways. I'd like to say there were more that went against us, but I feel like I can't do that in good faith seeing the foul split. The student section was in their seats 30+ minutes prior to the tipoff. They were there so early they watched NC State warmup and gave them hell everytime they threw up a brick or missed a dunk. So freaking funny. And as luck would have it, the best player on the opposing team shot an airball early in the game again…and the "Airball! Airball!" chants followed him to the very end. I hate it for our guys. So close but yet so far. They played hard on little rest. They played until they could hardly play anymore. Then they kept playing until their legs were toast. And then there were still 10 more minutes left in the first half. That level of exhaustion is why I think NC State ruled the offensive boards – we were just always a 1/2 step slow. Lammers especially left everything short (including free throws) for a long time before I think he realized his legs had no push in them and he had to compensate for that. I so feel for the guys...1 more day of rest, anything, and it felt like we could have gotten over the hump. No matter what happens, the Syracuse win Sunday guarantees us of a 0.500 season. It doesn’t get any easier from here though. I appreciate the sacrifice our guys gave. The plays we ran, especially on the last inbounds, shows our coaching is superior in this conference. With a little more talent and depth (and sometimes luck), we’ll win a lot of games going forward. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
