NC State lost in embarrassing fashion to Wake Forest 77-59, and we’re all pretty pissed off because honestly, it’s not like the basketball we saw played today was any surprise.
This team has been playing a pretty poor brand of basketball all season long. And you know what, it’s not the player’s fault. It really isn’t. This is a bunch of players who are being asked to play outside of their skill set and win at the ACC level. It’s not going to happen consistently.
O’Connell isn’t really that valuable unless you have playmakers around him.
Marcus Hill is super quick and amazing at finishing around the rim, but his inability to keep defenders honest on the perimeter makes him a very one-dimensional player on offense.
