I was hoping we would find a way to beat NC State....


NC State pretty much controlled the paint, especially in the 3rd quarter. Hokies couldn't get anything inside in the 3rd quarter. Tonight reminded me of the previous seasons where we depended on outside shooting to have a chance. Panousis was double teamed and couldn't get too many looks and Hicks got into foul trouble. Not a good night for our back court. Kudos to NC State for playing great defense in the 2nd half. They had the better back court tonight.

NC State was picked 9th in the ACC preseason poll. I felt that Tech needed to win this game to stay in the middle of the standings. Looking at our schedule, it's very possible that we'll lose the next three with Notre Dame, Miami, and FSU coming up. A home win over Miami would be huge. Georgia Tech and UVA are winnable but we could just as easily lose those games too. I'm not saying tonight's loss was devastating, but we really needed to win this game to remain in the middle of the pack. Looks like we're going to be a bottom third team after what I saw tonight. The ladies are going to have to find a way to win a few road games and to beat the teams like NC State if we want to play in the post season.
