I know Clemson really wore down NC State when we played them. Of course, Notre Dame is deeper and can absorb that kind of grind...but it took a toll on the 7 players that usually play all the minutes for NC State.

ND is deeper in theory only. In practice, it was basically 6 players (starters plus Dani Patterson) that played the whole first half (with slight cameo by Jordan Nixon).

Clemson has 14 bench points at halftime. ND has 1.

They are very aggressive and come at you in waves. The kind of team it's no fun to play, especially at their place.

Every time I look at this NC State schedule, I can't believe how back-loaded it is. I'm just sitting here thinking "Well, they haven't played anyone that great yet, maybe they have a tough game tonight? Nope. Wake Forest.

I mean, you have to play everybody eventually, so it's not a real complaint. It's just weird. I don't like seeing a conference rival with zero in the L column, I guess.

NC State did not make the conference schedule...that was created by the home office in Greensboro. It is strange the way it has played out but out of our control. I will be glad when we finally play the tougher teams because I'm tired of reading comments on here that NC State hasn't played anyone.

Nora Finch is in charge of the schedules. Im tired of reading that crap as well.

Oh yeah, totally out of NC State's control and I'm not sure I'd want it that way if I were them. It's just odd.

I want to see them in there with the tougher teams, too. Maybe for different reasons, though. And of course the nationally televised NC State-ND game on Feb. 18 will be a fun one. I'm sure the Wolfpack will have the house rocking for that.

Wow, looks like South Carolina almost coughed up a 10 point lead inside a minute left. Kentucky got it all the way down to 3.


edit--74-70 final

Syracuse has their hands full w/ Virginia. Up 3 w/ about 5 minutes left.

Florida St. leading Miami by 4 early in the 4th.

How are there so many ACC teams w/ 1 or 2 losses? It's like none of them are playing each other.
