During the warmups I was concerned and surprised that so many shots were not going in. Of course, this does not usually mean anything during the game, but today it did. NC State got off to a great start and our team could not find an answer offensively or defensively. Also, we were sitting very close to the court and it appeared that the game was not being called consistently for both teams. I am not making excuses for our team, I am just saying that this was another area that they were unable to overcome. We plan on rewatching the game later to see if our observations were correct. NC State had a great game offensively. We did not have the tools today to meet this challenge. I was still proud of how hard the team played. They will learn from today's game and be better next time. Maybe it won't be enough, but I know they will continue to give all they have. I was proud of the character they showed today! Go Hokies!
