Wolferetti: NC State’s defense vs. Syracuse was a hot mess. Here’s the proof.

I don’t normally take the time to do something like this, but with the losses really piling up and fans starting to get vocal, I thought this might be a good time to really walk you through what we’re seeing. If you are a student of the game, you are well aware of the problems. If you’re not, then this might help you understand what is going on defensively.

I’m going to highlight each bucket by Syracuse in just the first half (for time’s sake), and explain to you whether Syracuse just simply scored on a solid defensive effort by the Pack, or if there was a defensive breakdown that led to the bucket.
