You must've missed the FSU game last year

Or the 2015 NC St game in the tournament when we blew the 14-pt halftime lead. The hits just keep coming.

Don’t forget the Houston game last year as well. Really liked what I saw from Emmitt in the paint today. We need go to him more often. Watford also has some strong moments near the basket. Hopefully we try to work to get those guys some high percentage shots before jacking up threes.

Absolutely, we should have won that FSU game and shortly thereafter blew a big lead at Houston. Very similar in manner and time of year.

I think what you are going to see is Watford and Manning get better and better as the year goes, and Emmitt already has improved dramatically as far as offensive production level this year.

The biggest thing WW can do to get this team where we want it to be is to manage Smart better. He was slightly better yesterday but still led us in turnovers. Bishop is coming around lately, more PT for him in place of Smart could help in that management.

Smart is a talent but he has been inconsistent since he's been here. At some point expecting accountability for that is fair.
