I’m all good with T getting his shots but he’s GOT to start passing the ball.

We had the “use it or lose it” timeout to give us a chance to bring T back in for the offensive possession but didn’t take the TO. Seemed odd

^ to who? Nobody but him can make a shot so far

^Morsell for a three? Someone else who’s open when he draws coverage because it’s OBVIOUS he’s shooting?

Casey is locked in

^^^ I mean, yes, passing to Morsell for an open corner 3 is a good play. T has been our best scorer. I think it’s fine that he keep shooting. He’s mostly not taking bad shots and I haven’t seen many times where he’s missed a wide open guy

My wife who hasn’t watched a game all year has drawn her own conclusion that refs are extremely inconsistent and she doesn’t understand how the players can figure out how to play. So we’re not crazy my bros

I haven't watched even a portion of a game all year. So why did I start watching halfway through the second half? Same old NC State shit as ever.

Probably. Plus foul trouble. And I think their dude had the size to negate him offensively.

Burns has a very small window of who can match up with and be effective. If you have a center who is mobile, tall, athletic, or can shoot from the outside, Burns is completely nullified

Bad time for Joiner to have an off game.

Miss Dusan big time in games like this. Ebe just isn’t good. And Burns can be a liability vs some matchups.

We’ve got to learn not to commit stupid fouls. I like to complain about the refs but T and Burns especially simply foul too much. Although T did a great job playing with those 2 fouls today

Oh well, worrying about the tendencies of these players doesn’t matter anymore. Seasons over, we’ll have a new group of personalities to learn about in a few months.

So it’s a fool’s errand to try to project this roster next year but I’m a fool and I enjoy errands so:

Pg Thomas/Pass/ T Parker
2g Morsell (he kinda was a 2/3 in between so call him whatever you want)
SF D Parker/Can Clark come back?
PF Miranda/Ross/Gantt
C Dusan/DJ/Ebe

That’s obviously assuming everybody that has eligibility actually comes back other than T (and Dusan gets a medical RS). Obvious needs are a shooter, a wing, and need a veteran ball handler. Not sure Thomas or Pass are ready to start. I have no idea what to expect out of Miranda (probably not much!) but we could use offense out of the 4 also.

If Dusan is able to come back and Burns is back, Ebe would be a prime candidate to transfer. I guess in today’s CBB universe, they’re all prime candidates to transfer.

At least we're not Purdue! I haven't watched them play a single game this season. I'm going to assume that Edey is the only good player on the team.

Baby T played his heart out and almost pulled it out for us. No one else really stepped up. We couldn’t stop their giant inside. Agree that Burns is fun to watch but can be a liability sometimes. And he gets the laziest fouls, always slapping at the ball when he has no chance of getting the ball.

Yeah Burns is best as a role player. A guy that can get 20 points in a game but isn’t asked to get 15-20 every game. He’s a load and an elite scorer. But defensively he’s a liability and poor rebounder. Hopefully we can find better front court balance next year. Dusan’s injury really hurt us.

Fair, although I'd hardly call it bragging. I'd certainly like NC State Athletics to be successful. Being an NC State fan post-2000 has typically carried a heavy dose of cynicism. I assumed I'd find like-minded opinions on TWW if anywhere. I tried to give them a chance to bring me back into the fold as a bandwagon fan, but they shit the bed as always and mostly looked gassed and done for out there. But mainly it was just because all other site activity was dead during the span of the game. Good luck to all you true fans. I truly don't know how you keep it up. Eternal optimists. Several studies suggest you'll live longer, so that's something!

Losing as an 11 seed to a 6 seed isnt really shitting the bed imo.

I don’t really consider myself an eternal optimist. But I try to be reasonable. We were an 11 seed. Creighton was a top 10 team for portions of the season. They lost like 6 games in a row, 4 of those Ls came with the big man injured (2 of those losses when he was healthy came vs eventual 2 seeds in the NCAAT). Had the big man been healthy all year, they might be a 4 seed. They’re legit good, I think.

I think coming off of how bad last year was, this was a perfectly acceptable season that was super fun at times but just happened to end on a sour note with Ls to Cuse, Clem, and then Creighton in the tourney.

Now, if you wanna discuss what led to us being an 11 seed and considering that a “success” then that’s fair. 2 NCAAT appearances in 5 chances (1 canceled tourney that we probably make, so 6 total years) is disappointing. Some of the recruits and transfers he’s brought in have been total misses and I think talent eval has been a weakness of his. He made staff changes, totally revamped the roster, and gave us a great turnaround this year. Maybe some of the changes he’s made will help us be better and more competitive in the long run.

Criticisms of where the program is at are fair. I just don’t really think we shit the bed yesterday. I don’t think we shit the bed this season either.

Fair. I don't really want to get into too deep an argument about my shitposting and usage of a common turn-of-phrase. There's no substance to it. Basically, I tuned in midway through the second half when I found a free stream, and was disappointed in the result in the perceived effort, which served as yet another point of confirmation bias for me. Clearly, it's better for me and for everyone else if I don't follow NC State sports.
