NC State 84 - Dook 76 +Addendum

NOT a fluke. In fact, NOT an upset. Going into the game, Dook was only a 1 and 1/2 point favorite. State could have, should have, put Dook away by well into the double digits.

NC State is that good. When we bring our 'A' game - we can play with anybody in the country.

Next up - State at Maryland. Maryland is a very good unranked team that could very well be an NCAAT at large team. The difference between State and Maryland or Duke and Maryland is not that great.

State can't suffer a let down or coast into that game or the Twerps will gladly hand us a loss.

Addendum

State lost to Maryland by 1 point on a last 0.9 second shot.

State did not have a lackadaisical game - we just simply could not get the buckets to fall.

Prior to the Maryland game, State had been shooting over 50% field goals. Last night - 31% And Maryland still had to put in a lucky last second shot to win.

As a co-worker said to me today - "I'm glad we won the game we did (Dook) and lost the one we lost (Maryland) rather than the other way around. Good effort and I'm not worried at all."

Well said and I agree 100%.
