First off NC State is a very talented basketball team. As they were preseason #9 and have had some late losses to some very good teams. As they lost to both Louisville and Oklahoma in OT (just to name a few). When Zoe Brooks and Zam Jones are hitting shots they are one of the best back courts in the entire country. I think they will be a team in the sweet 16. So everyone acting like this loss is the end of the world is very comical. The one that hurts more is the Notre dame loss where we controlled and led most of the game. NC State is just better than us🤷‍♂️. Thoughts on the actual game. I think state really took advantage of our obvious weaknesses (lack of three point shooters and scoring depth). We have two consistent three point shooters that teams actually come out and guard (Baker and Wenzel). The other players NC State was sagging off begging them to shoot it. And this really hurts our spacing offensively and makes it much harder to run effective plays and make easy crisp passes. With scoring depth in big time games you need 3-4 players in double figures, today we had 2. Hats off to Carleigh Wenzel tho man, she has really stepped up her game in ACC play, the heart and soul of this team and she has been playing like it. Have to be mentally tough the rest of the year as our February ACC schedule is a gauntlet. Need to win at least one game out in Cali this week as it is a big bounce back spot and I think we can win both. GO HOKIES!!!
