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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
