NC State is a basketball team with many useful parts, but few are good right now, and none work well together. NC State is now 1-4 in the ACC following an unfortunate 86-76 loss to Georgia Tech at home on Sunday night. I feel as though the word “embarrassment” has been tossed around a lot lately, but it’s appropriate.
This season is over. Let’s all save ourselves from whatever ounces of denial remain—this team is very bad, and it has no spine. Somewhere along the way, Mark Gottfried’s message became useless, and I think when the team faltered under Dennis Smith’s tenuous leadership, everything caved.
