The game went like State's season. Awful play part of the time - followed by great play. Great athletes. Inconsistent. Never quite playing to our potential.
Actually, we did play to our potential a few times (Duke at State, UNC at State, Miami at State). In those games - State was awesome. Which, knowing what we were capable of, made it even more frustrating when we didn't show up for some games.
Also - many Wolfpackers have been pointing the finger at CJ Leslie for this year's uneven season. Deservedly so. BUT - in the NCAA game - CJ was the main one who was playing full speed at the start of the Temple game. The other guys (and you know who you are) weren't showing up. At least till the second half.
Temple players were not as good as State. But Temple played smart, with intensity, determination and unrelenting effort. Temple deserved the win.
