We have seen Ochefu miss dunks and layups, we have seen the whole team not finish at the rim against big physical teams, we have seen ice cold shooting, we have had issues with dribble penetration, we have given up too many offensive rebounds....
What was different/unique was that NC State played with more energy from start to finish...we didn't seem to have that desire, extra burst, or "find a way attitude" that made this team special...we didn't quit but that "balls out style and attitude" was AWOL....
The first Georgetown game was that way (actually much worse) for about 22 minutes but we at least had that 10 minute run where we got attacking and flying around...even the lethargic Seton Hall disaster had that 8 minute early second half start where we seized the lead (disrupted by the Hart kick)....but yesterday there was NEVER anytime where we seemed in control or more energized than the opponent......very surprising and disappointing.
