UNC vs NCSU: Game Observations

Philip Thompson:

1. I am very disappointed we lost the game last evening. However, it was very apparent that the better team won
2. If the Wolfpack is going to be a team as talented as the Tar Heels, then they must shoot better than last evening. There were way too many missed open jumpers, and mainly from Scott Wood and Dennis Horner
3. The talent drain in UNC could not be further from the truth. The heels had 6 McDonalds All Americans dress last night. The talent gap between the two teams is still very wide
4. State really needs a point guard to initiate their offense. To many time they were left scrambling for a shot late in the clock. Javi did a great job scoring the ball, but could never seem to get the offense in flow
5. All season the key for the Pack is to keep Tracy Smith out of foul trouble. Last night when he left the game after picking up his third foul, the Pack was up 10. When he reentered a few minutes later, they were trailing by 6
6. What has happened Marcus Ginyard? He might have been the worst player on the court last night. He seems to turn the ball over way too much for a senior
7. If State does not shoot the ball much better in Chapel Hill next month, then we will be in for a replay of last nights game.
