Didn't they go together to Spain as a team, besides the 2 exhibition games?

Miller is turning into RichRod, a coach that can't adjust.

But at least Miller can recruit.

I'd call this a very "typical" type of loss for us the last handful of years.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

he's a good coach but he is clearly not a good in game adjuster
What can he do other than tell his guards to give backside help. They didn't...
not have Ayton and Dusan run 30 feet from the basket every PnR
play Dusan less and switch PnRs that didn't involve PJC

you know, modern basketball

What should he have adjusted tonight? They got the ball to the only two guys who can play. He rotated players in and out hoping someone could provide a spark on defense or cover. WHen your players can't play there's not much adjusting to do.

I know we're not at full strength, but NC State is a marginal team at best. This is bad.
I don't even plan on watching this train wreck of a team play the rest of this week. Totally fricking embarrassing.

Should have practiced in Bear Down all week.
Oh wait, they turned historical gym into office complex.

He should have deeper on the bench. If rotation guys aren't putting up the effort then let the scrubs play.

Seriously, I'd love to see some pressure D.
Even a 2/3 for a couple of possessions.

Do something different.

I am finding hard to count on Alkins.
I remember Mayes never really recovering after his break.

And in my head there is still the voice talking about "the other player"

I remember someone saying Randolph looked like a lottery pick. Not seeing it.

Watch this be the last game the Cats lose in a long time. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. I expected the defense to struggle early in the season with all the new players. It will all come together starting with a win tomorrow.
