[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 292940, member: 2458"] Red's comments are dead on as usual. Crowd was great last night - probably less than 1000 from sellout and less than 1000 NC State folks in the house (I sit behind the visitor bench - and sometimes (Syracuse, Lousiville, and UNC games this year in particular feel like I was at a road game). Students filled it up well before tip and were loud/chanting .. but not sure getting on Dennis Smith was the one I would have picked to try to get in his head (but he did shoot the air ball). To me this game could have been won - too many missed FT, too many missed layups (some contested, but you expect to make higher percentage when you get those looks), and Lammers had an off night (proved he is human - was not anything NC State did, he just did not have it last night). What this showed (exposed - that we already knew) is lack of depth - if this were UNC, Duke, FSU, etc - they would have tried different combinations to try to find something that was working - sometimes you do and sometimes you don't, but CJP has very few options that can consistently play at this level - and if one or two of our 7 man rotation is not on, we will struggle against any P5 team. Not sure how much fatigue was a factor - might be more mental than physical - but most of the team was a step slow most of the game (lost more 50-50 balls and got out hustled for rebounds than we've become accustomed to seeing). Team did not quit - as some teams could. NC State made mistakes to give us a chance and it nearly cost them. [/QUOTE]
