We aren't going to the tourney. We have no toughness on the road. None.
The arrival of Reid only helps when he's in the game, and only because he's such a marked improvement over his replacements. But he only plays half a game because he collects stupid fouls. He would be a liability if we had real backups.
It's one game, but it reaffirms my opinion that Marsh is the better backup than Keller. And I don't think it's close.
I don't know why we can't go get some big corn fed motherfucker from the MAC or A10 with basic rebounding ability and athleticism to rebound the ball and score an occasional basket.
State deserves credit for bringing a crowd that we rarely see at the Joel.
State also deserves credit for playing really tight defense.
The refs sucked, but they sucked universally. I don't know how they have jobs. Probably because the ACC isn't the premiere basketball conference anymore and gets castoffs. The quadruple technical call (specifically the double T on Sallis) was to cover their asses so they'd get out of there alive. Again, it would be nice to see our crowd in its sweater vests and khakis put the fear of God into some officials now and then.
Middlebrooks is a fucking bitch.
