Cincinnati 76, NC State 60: Oh no everything is on fire again

Man, I miss the entire first half and finally get to a television as the second half is getting started, and then aw crap who set everything on fire again

That was decidedly most non-triumphant, guys, I mean did we not just have a talk about the consequences of playing like poop? I thought my stance in re: poop-caliber play was made quite clear, and that we were all in agreement. But no, I leave you unsupervised for 20 minutes and suddenly there's poop everywhere. Why does Cincinnati do this to you, and by extension, do this to me?

THANKS A LOT, SPORTS. THANKS A WHOLE DANGED LOT. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Other than the constant onslaught of unfortunate developments, I thought the second half was fine. I don't even want to know how or why everything broke in the first half, since it's probably a better idea to just move on to the next most important game of the year of the week. I suggest we all do that. That's just as soon as we're all done crying.
