My goodness.

-- Damn you to hell, zone defense. Over 40% of the Pack's attempts were threes, and not many of them went in. Costner attempted nine by himself--I never want to see that again.

-- In any given game, my reactions to Gavin's touches progress something like this: No-yes-no-no-nice drive [golf clap]-no-maybe?-what the hell?-no-yes-no-AAAAH!-meh-whew-yes-no-no-no.

-- Ben McCauley has been lost in the shuffle of forwards and totally uninvolved in the three games (including the exhibitions) we've played thus far. This saddens me.

-- W&M grabbed 33% of their misses, which is right at their 2007 average. Costner was huge on the defensive glass (30.8 DR%), but everyone else sucked.

-- NC State hit 63.3% of its twos; Hickson was 100% from inside the arc, while the rest of the team shot 38.8%. The latter number is nothing to worry about.
