[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1353452, member: 4069"] We were hot shooting out of the gate --that's part of it. But I agree we were taken out of our game too easily as Wake started to adjust, and the refs were a factor. Underwood has done a lot to change the culture and habits, but we're really thin at center, and a team like Wake matched up well against us. I'm a bit surprised at how many of our guys looked tentative. Thinking about it, we're a small-ball team, thin at center, so we practice against a small ball team that's thin at center. Wake is not at all like that and we weren't able to adjust on the fly. Just need more experience against a team with some good bigs. Remember, we have three freshman getting good minutes, as everyone being new to Underwood's system. The one guy you'd think might be plug-n-play (Alstork) seems to also be having trouble adjusting as well. [/QUOTE]
