[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1353431, member: 4069"] I do think Wake got home cooking in this one, but it wasn't anywhere near the worst officiating I've seen. My take away was that a couple guys were having bad games (Finke, Lucas, Smith, Alstork and Kipper were just ok), and that Underwood is suffering from the hole he was left at the center position. Wake's front court is pretty good, and they have really good depth there. Without better defense on the interior, we have tough match-ups, especially in a road game where one of our primary guys gets in early foul trouble (Finke). When we were hot shooting, we built a lead. It was inevitable that we cooled off. Guys had trouble getting to the rim, and Wake adjusted to take away some of the easier outside shots. Our movement, execution and understanding of how to beat them once they adjusted went down the tubes. Wake is not a bad team, especially at home. Not a good loss, but not a bad loss. I told myself we would have games like this, but still wish we would have been better. Road games will be tough for this team this year. [/QUOTE]
