If we want to get past the first weekend of the tournament we have to do something with this defense

Thats all she wrote. What an ugly ugly game. Need Rawle back and need to try to develop some of these young guys. They aren't ready.

Reminds me of the Xavier game

We don't miss Alkiins............we miss Kadeem Allen.

PJC can't guard a relatively slow footed 6 foot white guy

So what time do we play tomorrow? I'm assuming ESPN 3 will cover it.

We've got two players. Solid two player rotation.

Sure looks like the worst defensive team Miller has had. Seems like NCSt can score any way they want.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Wed Nov 22, 2017 7:00 pm

Absolutely the worst defense I've seen under miller

Or is just a bad day and a learning experience. Lot of season to play. Don't be a 'Hater.

Should have been pressing from 5 minute mark

Better temper your expectations cause if this defense doesn't improve, there will be a lot of L's this season

That ref sucks. Calling stupid touch fouls the last 5 minutes all for NCST

Defensive scheme? It was more like....just let the guy with the ball dribble to the basket and hopefully he misses a layup

What can he do other than tell his guards to give backside help. They didn't...

Sounds like we couldn’t defend the 3 and they got uncharacteristically hot from the 3 too....or am I trying to make excuses?

BBQ wildcat · Post by **BBQ wildcat** » Wed Nov 22, 2017 7:06 pm

This is NOT a #1 team. It is not even a #10 team. Shitty defense, horrible rebounding, just not at all together. Too many "stars", and not enough "team"? What an embarrassing game. Good thing it was only streaming and not broadcast for the whole world to see.

Honestly Ive never been a big Dusan fan. I like Ira Lee better.

We have Rawle hurt, pretty much a brand new team full of freshman, playing in the bahamas, and it's November (first real competitive game). I'm frustrated and there's work to do, but the sky isn't falling.

The 3 wasnt really the problem. It was the dribble penetration.

Yes, it is. This team just doesn't play as a team. A lot of great PIECES, but not much teamwork. No defense, no rebounding for such big players. If they don't get their $hit together, they will leave the Bahamas without a win.

Meh. 90 - 82 'Pack. Meh.

It's their third game playing as a team!

Couldn't watch it. But this is shocking, right? Is there any way we show up and crap the bed in the first game? Is there anyone who didn't plan to watch AZ/Nova on Friday?

I know we're not at full strength, but NC State is a marginal team at best. This is bad.

Uh, they've been practicing for months and spent the summer in Spain. They should be playing better than this. The fans deserve better, and Miller should be getting flak.

Extremely disappointing. The players we thought were good did not show up at all today. Right now it looks like all we have is Trier and Ayton and the rest of the guys stand around and chuck up 3s. Ira Lee plays hard but isnt a scorer. Dusan is average at best. Randolph, Akot, Barcello have a ton of development ahead of them. They looked like high schoolers still. Dylan Smith has no basketball IQ.
