Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 3356040, member: 4687"] NC State didn't look like a well-oiled machine last night...but had enough in the tank to overcome sloppiness and 28 turnovers to beat a top 10 team, so that just shows they have a deep reserve of talent. I don't know if fatigue played a factor; they did not return from Hawaii until very early Monday morning and then had a big game Thursday evening. In addition to the turnovers, State left 6 points at the FT line. That is usually a sign of tired legs. Maryland also did a wonderful job of disrupting NC State's offensive flow. l don't know how many times...but it must have been 10 or 11 possessions, the Wolfpack Women were just dribbling the ball and then scrambling to attack the basket when the shot clock was down to under 10 seconds. Even the crowd tried to help them by loudly counting down the remaining seconds on the shot clock. We have lots of young players getting crucial game minutes now and they'll improve on this as the season wears on. I will take the win and be satisfied that it's highly unlikely the Wolfpack Women will commit that many errors again in one game this season. [/QUOTE]
