Box Score

True to form, North Carolina Central neither made twos (9-35, 25.7%) nor prevented its opponent from making them (State shot 65.8% inside). After the coaching staff slapped everyone upside the head at halftime, NC State dispensed with the outside jumper entirely and patiently worked the ball into the delicious nougat center of the Eagles' zone defense. The Macrowave matched the number of field goals made by Central in the second half all by himself.

2nd Half	OFF_EFF	eFG%	TO%	OR%	FTR
NCCU	65.5	20.0	11.9	26.9	43.3
NCSU	148.9	80.4	14.9	44.4	91.3

Brief notes:

-- Javi was held out of the starting lineup for violating a team rule.

-- Richard Howell finished with six rebounds in 14 minutes.

-- There were just nine available boards at NC State's end in the second half. The Pack grabbed four of them.

-- Josh Davis made all four of his free throw attempts. I guess he just needs a practice-like atmosphere.

Javi kind of seems like a head case

Between his manic-depressive/ADD on-court behavior, the extra little bit of fire he has, and now violating a team rule (albeit a minor one, given how longh e was on the bench), there’s just something a little off about that guy.

I like it…

here is an interesting article in the washington post about acc basketball

and how it has changed due to expansion: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/30/AR2010013002430.html

i myself could do without florida state, miami and b.c. va tech i like. va tech fits within the acc. i really don’t care much for games that involve fsu, miami and b.c. the ACC was, and still may be, a basket ball conference. to destroy a conference’s flagship sport in search of whatever should not have been done. one thing which would have been a plus for expansion would be that football earns or earned more money for each school than basketball does or did. if not, why expand?

the State women lost

their third in a row. i noted that Gartrel shot 3/15. in the last three games she has shot 2/20; 4/13 and 3/15. she is the senior leader and handles the ball quiet a bit and takes her fair share of the shots. wonder if Harper is getting dismayed? Harper earlier had some comments about the possibility of Gartrel playing in the WNBA. however, because i know of her shooting history, i do not think that there is anyway she can play at that level. for the year Gartrel is shooting 0.336, and she is by no means just a three point shooter.
