Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 4484952, member: 7970"] Following up, some hours since the game ended. Syracuse did grab the lead at one point, 49-40. And then they went ice cold (despite numerous good looks) and could not defend as NC State chipped away. Still, a 55-54 final score … Syracuse should feel good after this game, thinking if they can clean up and get better shots, they can be a tough out against most opponents. Syracuse fights very hard for rebounds, but they seem fairly stagnant on offense. (That’s based on the two in person games I’ve seen this year; next one is when ND comes to visit.) The NC State players looked frustrated and rattled all game. Wes was not at all happy with their playing. They should feel good about grinding out a win, but they are very vulnerable to an upset. Both teams looked very fatigued by the end. There were less NC State fans at the game than I expected. Maybe because of the holiday? ETA: Some very questionable officiating on both sides. I saw the same when Syracuse played Wake Forest at the Dome. [/QUOTE]
