Keeping with the 'W' theme of the previous posts, here is one regarding NC State Wolfpack hoops. High expectations have turned to struggle. Team shooting is abominable. I'm not going to say my grandma can shoot any better, but I will say she couldn' t do any worse. Tony Bethel hasn't produced, he's more like Tony Bustel. Julius Hodge has bulked up to a whopping 87 lbs. and his free-throw shooting is suffering. He continues to put up decent numbers, but still he's one of the most overrated players in the country.
The whole team lacks coordination and basic basketball skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting as well as basic athletic ability. This seems to be a common thread for every Wolfpack team under Herb Sendek. I don't know if the trouble lies in recruiting or coaching style, but it's something. Sendek does get a lot out of his players as far as huslte and defensive effort, but it's not pretty basketball. So many wide open threes and so many bricks. Teams are just going to start packing in the zone and letting 'em fire away. Can everyone say NIT?
