Although I think it’s early to pronounce NC State’s midseason lull over, I was more heartened by today’s 62-58 win over Maryland than similarly close wins against Clemson and Virginia. Today, I saw much more defensive effort, offensive rebounding, and overall effort and energy. It still shouldn’t have been this close against an overmatched Terps squad, but the Wolfpack’s focus was much better today. So, even if the lull hasn’t lifted, the Wolfpack showed signs of emerging.
Sorry for the late blog posting. Enjoy the second half of the Super Bowl, and best of luck to proud NC State alumnus Bill Cowher.
