I'm quoting from an article in the Greensboro News & Record:

"I don't think it's fatigue" Wood said of the pack faltering down the stretch.

"It's a couple other things"

When asked to clarify, Wood said, "I'm not allowed to say".

What in the world is he alluding to?

Anyone have any info on this?

Is he alluding to Leslie's ego, moodiness?

Or something else?

This concerns me.....

The announcers disagree with you. They specifically mentioned the foul called on Howell when the very same thing was done on the other end and not called on the Heel. Both were talking about the discrepancy.

I was shaking my head about how Wood's ear fouled the hole.  And about how Purvis' back fouled the hole that jumped on his shoulders.

Because they have already set the precedent by calling the same "under the front" call on Howell, it is now one of our "tendencies". Expect to see it called (on us) the rest of the season.

It came down to this. We had them. 4 point lead with 8 minutes left and they were cracking. Then we gave up several second chance buckets, didn't get out on their 3 point shooters, and turned it over 4 times in 3 minutes when we hadn't had a turnover the whole second half.

From 7 minute mark to 4:30 is where we blew our chance. We had them, and we let them off the hook because we aren't mentally tough enough.

the foul lastweek on Howell was HORRIBLE
BUT , the call yesterday on Purvis was correct,you cannot displace a player from his established position, if you do -it is a foul

The way the refs have done NC State this year has taken a toll.  I think that's what Wood is saying is part of the problem.  CJ's game focuses on driving and hopping to the rim.  It's his signature move.  The refs decided at various times in the season to let the players decide the game by allowing other teams to maul him with impunity.

CJ say BS, they hatin'.

OK - I guess we can agree to disagree.  But I just didn't see it that way.  It looked to me that RP established his position and the hole jumped up and on top of his shoulders.  With the weight of the hole on top of him it bent RP over causing his butt to stick out.  At least that's the way I saw it.

Well I'm sure one of the things he was referring to was some of the inconsistent foul calls, but what was the other thing?

I'm guessing it was Leslie.....but maybe I AM being dramatic.

SOMETHING is wrong "behind the scenes" and that almost has to be it.

This team is too talented, and has proven it can beat ANYBODY -but fails to do so with any consistency.

The ONLY lackadaisical play I've seen on a recurring basis IS Leslie.

It sure as hell ain't Howell, or Brown, or Wood, or TJ or Purvis or Lewis....

I've defended remarks against Leslie this year, many times, but something about this kid's mindset, attitude or something is hurting the team.

IMO, sorry to say it.

Why does it matter what I believe?  My theory is both possible and plausible.  It explains a lot.  Before you kneejerk react like a female again, how about dealing with what Wood is quoted as saying.

I bet Wood is talking about CJ.  I would hope that's the case anyways.  It would be ridiculous for Gott to be whining about the officials after that game.

Personally, someone on that team needs to step up and call someone out in public.  Maybe that will get their attention.

In the game in Raleigh Macadoo boddied him up twice and got 2 quick fouls. In the game yesterday 2 people bodied him up all game and nothing was called. Sometimes they even got him on the arm (the tv crew made a point of showing a couple of them in slow motion replay).

There is a reason they have these rules, you can keep anybody from making a shot if you body block them and hit them on the arm while they are shooting. That's why it is illegal.
