Sean Callahan is on a Twitter tear…

Sean Callahan figuring out that we got robbed from 14 wins to 13 instead. Important stuff.

I wasn’t able to see it, but there’s a scoring recap on YouTube that shows every basket made…. Except for two spots where the score jumped 5 points in NC State’s favor…. Presumably from foul shots? Very strange.

Other than that, it looks like it was a great game that we should’ve won by hitting a foul shot.

Still don't understand Edwards starting and only playing 4 minutes.

Who subs in for him?

@Mavric I stand corrected on Verge.  He's definitely taken the coaching from Fred and improved from the beginning of the season.

Verge did play better (two assists off of a Triple Double), but I also think NCST was a good team for him to play against with their picking him up at full court. He reverted hard at the end of the game and then in the OT to the point where you could see Fred calling a play to pass to the Big at the top of the key and then over to Bryce as soon as Verge crossed the midline.

Someone mentioned it, but Edwards is just similar enough to Trey that they can keep a similar rotation to the beginning of the year. I don't know if he keeps starting though going forward.

That doesn't make sense to me if he's only going to play 4 minutes.

Like Tominaga, I think they think he’s better than he’s shown to start the year. 
We may need a wing with size against the BIG teams. 

[Hayseed]

I like this team and they started so sloppy I think they’ll only get better.

 

As far as the foul discrepancy in this game, it may have been their strategy to keep feeding that big guy knowing that our guys were hacking like Frankensteins.

The last play in reg looked like a good no call to me. I hate when the ref decides the game with a tickytack foul call. Avoid that by shooting the ball into the hole rather than trying to fly at the hoop like Spider-Man.

Oof… I think I’m still on the other side of the fence on Verge. I think we win that game yesterday if Webster played in his spot during the OTs. Verge is too selfish of a player. I think we’ll continue to see that he’s a liability late in games. I really hope I eat crow at the end of the season, but I’ve played with too many guys like him in the past. Old habits are hard to break.

I think they’ll improve as a unit as well. It’s going to be fun to see them at the end of the year. Defense looked much improved for 3/4 of regulation last night. 
 

I’ll strongly disagree with the no call though. That gets called 99.9% of the time. Clearly a foul.

We drove the the hoop just as much & our guys frequently ended up on the ground with the cheerleaders or press sitting on the baseline with no foul called.  It was like the refs could only see fouls on drives if the contact was above the shoulder.

nothing ticky tacky here. 

[Hayseed]

Your all right. I still hate it when the ref decides the game by calling a foul on the last play. I think the video I saw showed the guy on his right who bumped him a little.

I just watched a scoring recap… I’d like to see those two periods when NC State got 10 points with no shots from the field.
