If you honestly came away disappointed, then it is a good thing you haven't seen BC play earlier in the season. I am curious what you expected going in...did you pencil in the second-best team in the ACC as a win for BC?
The talent disparity between NC State and BC is enormous...NC State has brought in Top 10 recruiting classes over the past few years, not to mention that they have upperclassmen on their team. Part of the problem is that Donahue is the worst recruiter in the ACC, but he is easily one of the best coaches. I thought his substitution patterns were good, and I do not know what you did not like about them. It would have helped if he could play Hanlan more, but he had serious foul trouble.
I found this game very exciting. This game went back and forth and we had a chance to win it through the final minute. There are certainly several areas we could have improved to win the game, but overall we played well and the team brought the energy.
