[QUOTE="bleedsorangenblue, post: 1250490, member: 10413"] Just now getting a chance to respond and a lot have covered much of what I wanted to say already. I don't really see this as a signature win but it sure was fun and sorely needed for this team. Nice to see us have a better defense and win the rebounding battle for once. NC state turned the ball over a lot. Much of this was unforced so I don't think we can take much credit there other than being generally disruptive to their game. We were able to run with them and they had no advantage in that regard. If anything, we wore them down. Couple questions: What was with MH the first half? He had little offense and missed what few shots he attempted. He was a completely different player the second half. I was also concerned at the end of the FSU game. He seemed to be sleepwalking. We can not afford for him to take any games off from here on out. I saw a lot more ball movement from this team last night. Less hero ball. Is this a function of them finally understanding that they need to play as a unit or is a matter of inserting TJL into the line up for extended periods? Chemistry or personnel? They really looked like a different team out there. [/QUOTE]
