Want to see something depressing. Look at faces of players during time outs. Groce has lost them. And worst of all Djw is at end of bench, back row of every huddle, not clapping for teammates. Any person who has coached will tell you. Team is lost.

13 turnovers on the pack at halftime and we're losing.

NC St FG% - 54%

Illini FG% - 34%

I'd say that we're hanging in alright with that difference. If we shoot a higher % in the 2nd half, we win...

58% shooting vs. 32% shooting and we're down 1.

Numbers even out, we win by 5-10 points, and it's still leaves a lot of questions about our game preparation.

There are no questions. We aren't a well prepared team. Groce is really a terrible in game coach, pregame coach. In fact, the only things you can say he does well is talk to the media, and recruit.

No disagreement there, however when the clock is winding down, we need to flex some muscle, even if your team isn't killing it you have to give them some backing.

It was good to see Groce finally chew out our team and take that timeout. You think he's feeling the pressure now???

Sounds like a great assistant coach/mid major coach to me.

It's really too bad because he's a really likable coach, really wish it would turn for him but it doesn't appear like it's going to happen.

Not just bad shooting.

Bad ball movement, bad spacing leading to poor shots.

That is coaching.

We've had a terrible fg% for several years. The problem is we take terrible shots...

I feel bad for DJW, definitely better than AJ and isn't even getting a chance. He gone next year

Sad...Who knows though could be something more to it like school...let's hope that's the case because if there isn't something we don't know about this staff is worse than we all think
