NC State is awful at basketball. This is a fact. State’s performance on Wednesday against Notre Dame was nothing short of ghastly, and there will probably be many more like it this year.
Keatts has openly said that this team is not as talented as most teams in the ACC, and while you can debate whether or not he should publicly say that, he’s definitely not wrong. State has no consistent perimeter shooting threat. It’s slow and unathletic on the perimeter (especially without Markell Johnson). It’s unskilled on the interior. It communicates poorly and lacks any real chemistry.
