MIAMI at NC STATE ( -3) 12 NOON JAN 14 ACCNX BALLY SPORTS PLUS

[ALLoverCANE]

Relax, I’m not pointing fingers, it just sucked that we couldn’t get a shot up that’s all I’m saying.

"It’s like they spent all that time in the timeout drawing up a play & as soon as they inbounded the ball they forgot it smh lol"

Hmm, sure seems like you're blaming someone ("they") here, but alright

Agreed, I think we finish out the month beating Cuse, FSU, Pitt & VA Tech.

The Duke game will be tough because it’s on the road @ Cameron, but they’re not the Duke of old lead by Coach K. It’s a winnable game but the Filipowski matchup for Omier will be a difficult one. We’re gonna have to make a lot of good shots to win that game.

6-2 for me was always the goal this month. That finish would be amazing. I think PITT and Duke are toss ups.

I apologize

Why review calls for 5 mins just to keep the wrong call on the floor? **** was clear as day that it didnt hit Joseph

review just needs to go period.

Something that bugs me (and this is true across most of college basketball, it's not just with Larranaga) is that it seems like we almost always automatically put someone on the bench when they pick up 2 fouls in the 1st half, as we did with Wong today. It was tied with 6:30 left in the half when he picked up his 2nd foul, and they outscored us by 10 while he was out.

If it's someone who is foul prone, like Omier, then I get it and don't have a huge problem with it, but Wong isn't someone who I am concerned about racking up fouls. And it turns out he didn't have any fouls in the 2nd half or OT, so he finished with just those two fouls. I would have liked to have seen him come back in late in the first half when things were going in NC State's favor.

We lost a good game on the road. Can our fans just accept that without pointing fingers?

We just lost 2 out of 3 ACC games and didn't look good... some bright spots at times but sloppy inconsistent and unfocused way too much, and at times just awful. There's a point at which you can't just keep saying tuff-league tuff-road-game but we are still elite/ranked/highly-seeded. Hope this is not the point yet but it feels a bit like it.

 

[Disgustipated]

We have no true ball handler and Joseph and Pack can't be on the floor at the same time

 

[insaneinthecane]

NEXT!!

 

[Hufftwoseven]

17 to 4 turnovers is the difference.

 

[Fatboycane]

One bright spot, we covered, for those interested

We looked bad today? Yeah, our turnovers weren't great. We were +3 lost by 2 in OT.

This is easily our best loss of the season

 

[Fightinibis]

In what world is that a bad loss?

Are you the same dude that said NC State was a bad team? Because since then they’re 4-0 with wins over Duke, VT, and Miami.

Their guards are legit and Burns is a problem. Please stop bi***ing for once in your life

GT was a bad loss. NC State is not, though we all know we should have taken the game.

 

[Awizonme]

I think I will blame the refs bc I blame them for the natty we didn’t win. I’m keeping the same energy

Amazing we were still in this game given those stats.

Pretty much the hand we have been dealt this year, and anyone that didn't see it was fooling themselves.

This team needs to cut the turnovers and play better defense, and they can still be dangerous. The rebounding is most likely to almost always go against us.

That turnover margin is unGodly, especially how we know ACC officiating will NEVER do us any favors....we can't have that many in 2 games and expect to win in the long term..

Quad 1 road loss. Stop whining.

...but but but we looked good, it wasn't a bad loss, road games and ACC are tuff, Coach L can fix, etc... what GT did FSU could do worse to us, and if we aren't at our best, they will.

 

[go_canes_17]

Clemson beat Duke, moves to 7-0 in ACC

Duke gets a week of rest and anger to prepare for us at Cameron. Will be a battle.

A lot of these TOs were off of terrible calls. (Road ACC refs in general are an automatic -5) Just watched the game and came on here to see if anyone mentioned the “10 second violation” in the first half.

NC St made a shot and the 30 second clock started winding down immediately, it was probably already at 24-25 seconds when we inbounded. Pack took a couple dribbles, walking it up and it was at 18 and the ref (who wasn’t manually counting off 10 seconds like he’s supposed to) looks up and calls a 10 second violation. I was appalled and also confused that I was the only person seeing this! None of the coaches saw it either. Ended up being a difference, as one of our a million turnovers. Unacceptable, as this isn’t a judgement call it’s just incompetence.

I was as the game... we looked sloppy from the warmups... I told my son that it looked like we are going to struggle with our shooting today.

Something didn't look right. . .. almost a step slower. Maybe it was the quick turn around from Wednesday's game.

ACC refs sucked today, though we got the benefit of a few dicey calls early in the game.

Yep I was there too and thought the same. Even though they shot it at a pretty good clip, it seemed like the team was a step slow and mentally not in it, for a large portion of the game. Without that 4 minute cold streak State went on, we lose by 8-10. Can’t continue to spot teams multiple possessions in the first 20.
