Can you say silver platter? Shot 36% from the field on 53 attempts and 57% from the FT line on 44 attempts. Add a coach whose in game coaching is marginal at best and it pretty much guarantees a L.
For the last few weeks, I've been saying we are in, and not many seemed to believe that. Never thought they'd be a 9 seed, though, esp after that AUB meltdown.
NC State was 3-9 against the BPI Top 50 and we were 8-3. They are BPI #37 and we are #41. I think the committee got our number correct. Every team outside the top 15 to 20 had a few bad losses due to parity. NC State gets the credit of being in the ACC but the SEC gained some ground this year in part to having two in the Final Four last year.
