I never understood why anyone thought we would be better after losing buckets and Lewis
Warren, eh, no replacing a guy like that.
But Barber was as good as Lewis on average, and much better by the end of the season. So you assume he improves, everyone else gets a little better, Lacey comes in and averages 15ish, it’s not crazy to think we’d be decent this year without those two.
Lacey has kept up his end of the bargain.
Lewis had guts that I never saw on cat.
I also believe buckets covered up a lot of flaws.12/23/2014 at 8:05 PM #66440pakfanistanParticipant12/23/2014 at 8:05 PM #66441bill.onthebeachParticipantIt’s pretty clear that some major changes have been made in our offensive sets and we’re hesitantly working out the kinks…
Kids GOTT some thing on their minds… and hearing voices in their heads…
That said, I’ve already more Pass first -shoot second and more movement and better positioning in the paint than all season…
The side effect of that is our FG% …Now … that FG% will go up in the second half and with a little defense, we can get back in this game…
Otherwise… it ain’t looking too good…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!12/23/2014 at 8:06 PM #66442RickKeymasterGottfried should have never benched Tyler Lewis. I know he was small etc., but that kid could play. He knew how to run an offense like a QB and he had sooooo much heart. Cat seems to be a street baller–he can’t play organized basketball to save his life. And Gottfried’s lack of defense is really showing. I know 3 straight trips to the NCAA sounds great and all, but I don’t see us making another one with this group of guys, meaning we’re out of the tourney for at least 2-3 years. And Gott may be out of a job by that time.
I remember I said people would be bemoaning the kids off Lewis.
12/23/2014 at 8:06 PM #66443WolfWiz11ParticipantCat was NEVER better than Lewis. It’s simply because we saw Cat play in smaller doses last year. I was VERY underwhelmed with his play, but we all tricked ourselves into thinking, “Oh, he’ll get better during the offseason.” NOPE!

12/23/2014 at 8:08 PM #66446bill.onthebeachParticipantnew flash…
Lacey is playing Point Guard on the first three offensive possessions of the second half…
Cat at the wing…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!12/23/2014 at 8:08 PM #664471.21 JigawattsKeymasterIn all seriousness we no longer run the UCLA high post in the half court, it’s always a 1-3-1 zone offense and we suck at it. Not sure if it’s the players, the coaches, or both but it needs to be scrapped and replaced with something Gottfried is supposed to have apprenticed under.
12/23/2014 at 8:10 PM #66448RickKeymasterWorking out the kinks.
That is a very ‘glass half full’ way if looking at it.12/23/2014 at 8:11 PM #664491.21 JigawattsKeymasterHow in the world does Washington position himself to allow his teammate to take him out of position on defense when no one else is around?
12/23/2014 at 8:12 PM #66450wufpup76KeymasterBetter enery this half, can’t make a layup
12/23/2014 at 8:13 PM #664511.21 JigawattsKeymasterEven if State magically starts making shots it doesn’t matter, we still can’t defend our way out of a wet paper sack.
12/23/2014 at 8:13 PM #66452wufpup76KeymasterWe have no answers for competent defensive teams. It’s Lacey and Turner or bust.
Tonight it’s bust.
12/23/2014 at 8:16 PM #66453redcanineParticipantLa Tech knows us better than we know ourselves.
12/23/2014 at 8:18 PM #66454ILPackfanParticipantGosh, if this is how this team responds to defensive pressure, I can hardly wait for Duke, Louisville, UNC, Syracuse, Virginia, etc.
12/23/2014 at 8:18 PM #664551.21 JigawattsKeymasterThere’s that weak 5 feet off the shooter hold out your hand but cheating towards the basket defense. Glad it works so well.
12/23/2014 at 8:19 PM #6645644rulesParticipantGet the tune in radio app and you can hear Gary describe this disaster.

12/23/2014 at 8:20 PM #664571.21 JigawattsKeymasterWonder if this is going to be another “good loss”?
12/23/2014 at 8:21 PM #66458wufpup76KeymasterWhy Caleb? Why?

12/23/2014 at 8:22 PM #66460WufpackerParticipantCaleb’s dumb ass should sit for a while after that. Mental weakness…look at the scoreboard and shut your mouth son.

La Tech has an rpi of 200+. No.
Wofford has an rpi in the 40’s. Define it how you want.
12/23/2014 at 8:23 PM #6646244rulesParticipantI foresee many this year. I’m mondo deflated.
