Sometimes you just have to hand it to the elite free throw defense

2/14/2026 5:04:26 PM

Every loose ball going Miami’s way. Some of it luck, some of it positioning. But wow.

2/14/2026 5:11:42 PM

Bad game from Q

2/14/2026 5:16:29 PM

Not much of a foul on the alley oop attempt

2/14/2026 5:20:04 PM

Refs shitty

2/14/2026 5:27:45 PM

Don't like that call, Miami dude was out of control

2/14/2026 5:28:31 PM

Yes

2/14/2026 5:32:14 PM

Sorta crazy how Miami just doesn’t get called for fouls

2/14/2026 5:35:06 PM

We have so fucking many blocked shots that still result in points for Miami.

2/14/2026 5:36:01 PM

Miami just gets in the paint so easily

2/14/2026 5:37:52 PM

Did Lubin get hurt? Useless commentators seem completely obvious to his absence

[Edited on February 14, 2026 at 5:42 PM. Reason : nevermind, he's back now]

2/14/2026 5:39:54 PM

Lol thanks announcers for highlighting Copeland fucking up the zone defense for an open three

2/14/2026 5:44:10 PM

Pretty obvious kick by DW

2/14/2026 5:45:37 PM

They waited too long to blow the whistle. Feels like it takes next to nothing to call a jump ball and it took them a while to blow it. But DW def kicked the dude so a likely T incoming

2/14/2026 5:46:53 PM

DW and the D is for dogshit

2/14/2026 5:48:12 PM

Any live streams to watch the game?

2/14/2026 5:50:39 PM

On the replay of the jump ball/DW technical the announcers were like “and nobody leaves the bench for Miami so there’s nothing to call there” as half of Miami’s team left the bench which was kinda funny. I don’t think they really deserved a T for that but yeah they definitely left the bench

2/14/2026 5:54:59 PM

I think it is supposed to be an ejection. So maybe the problem is that they either have to ignore it or eject them and they figure ejecting is a bit extreme.

2/14/2026 5:59:26 PM

Just some genius level coaching here to inbound the ball to a poor free throw shooter as soon as we're in the bonus.

2/14/2026 6:11:03 PM

Geez, we had this game in the bag and managed to completely screw it up.

2/14/2026 6:11:35 PM

Again, you avoid this if you inbounds to literally any guard besides copeland when they're gonna immediately foul.

2/14/2026 6:14:10 PM

Absolute fucking meltdown.

2/14/2026 6:14:42 PM

So good

2/14/2026 6:15:12 PM

Williams and Copeland have almost identical percentages

[Edited on February 14, 2026 at 6:16 PM. Reason : Mcneil just barely better ]

Williams q tre pg range from the terrible 77% all the way up to amazing 81%

[Edited on February 14, 2026 at 6:19 PM. Reason : E]

2/14/2026 6:15:50 PM

Total meltdown. Do our basketball coaches get paid extra if they end games with timeouts?

2/14/2026 6:16:19 PM

DW and Q with pretty dogshit games. Awful end of game execution, decision making, and coaching. Just horrific.

2/14/2026 6:17:50 PM

First nc state game I’ve brought my kids to. Told people behind me at halftime we will lose by 1 in the final seconds and it will set the up to be prepared for what life as a state fan is. Went exactly as I expected.

2/14/2026 6:19:15 PM

Wade needs to figure out the DW problem...

Copeland came into the season shooting 68% for his career. I bet he finishes below 75% for the year.

It still is coaching malpractice to intentionally put the ball in his hand in that situation instead of literally any other guard on the team. You don't put one of your worst free throw shooters on the line in a right game if you don't have to. Especially in a game where he's playing like total dogshit

2/14/2026 6:23:15 PM

This team is just soft and lacks toughness. Dominated on the glass. Miami got to the paint so easy all game. Getting beat to loose balls. It was a nice run after the DW technical but then just completely folded in the face of adversity. Up 7 with less than a minute left and we crossed half court maybe one time the rest of the game?

2/14/2026 6:25:01 PM

Not blaming the refs but that was also a pretty weak foul call on the 3. DW maybe grazed his finger. But it was light contact.

2/14/2026 6:26:37 PM

look, whenever you have a timeout left, it’s best to let your team throw up a prayer with a second left while down 1

2/14/2026 6:28:04 PM

Wildly shitty end of game coaching and execution

[Edited on February 14, 2026 at 6:29 PM. Reason : But hey that's why we're going to win 1 more game this season]

2/14/2026 6:29:18 PM

CRED REGRESSINGAGAIN

2/14/2026 6:32:02 PM

I get the first turnover on the press - ok. But a second and not use your TO?

I hate this thing in coaching where you save your TO for hypotheticals that don’t happen. If you gotta use your TO and don’t have one late oh well. Can’t tell me out of a TO we can’t be more organized than back to back turnovers. It’s so bad to lose that game and walk off the court with a timeout. It’s just unacceptable at this level.

2/14/2026 6:35:25 PM

Q still can’t escape the point shaving allegations

The worst part is that we didn't even use the timeout at the end when it was clear we weren't going to get a good shot off! Get to half court and call timeout! No, let's save it and throw up a running prayer.

2/14/2026 6:41:57 PM

Tough one to watch! We just needed to get the ball past half court maybe once in the last 1.5 minutes.

2/14/2026 6:52:37 PM

Up 7 1 min to go and you take one free throw and a heavy at the end.

2/14/2026 7:12:50 PM

The problem is that he’s not capable of being the guy because he’s too passive and unathletic. Instead of paying him the guy NIL, we should’ve just put that money towards a down payment to dome Carter Finley.

2/14/2026 7:38:42 PM

Looks like I picked a good day to not watch the game and put a little on Miami plus the points

2/14/2026 10:44:43 PM

oh wow betting against state... NOT A TRUE FAN

2/14/2026 11:07:19 PM

Took my son to the game, my first game of the year. Like was posted above, good to break him into what to expect at wolfpack games. Q has been struggling at free throws for 3 or 4 games now and it cost us at the end. Pretty bad with so many seniors on the court we can’t get the ball thrown in. Wade was pissed at Able it looked like at the end of the game. I wonder if he was supposed to call a timeout when they crossed half court but instead decided to take the last shot?

2/14/2026 11:36:33 PM

Lost to a team that was 3/17 on 3s and 10/20 on FTs lol. Super cool

2/15/2026 7:03:03 AM

Bench Williams and Start Able.

2/16/2026 9:07:37 AM

Lol no

I think Able needs to play more, but it doesn't need to be at Williams's expense. DW is a positive on the floor even when he isn't scoring(he's still our leading scorer btw.) He's not the guy who regularly doesn't close out on 3 point shooters. Also he's the best non-Lubeman rebounder on the team.

2/16/2026 11:48:18 AM

well, they need something to wake this team up, I'm not saying sit hit the whole game, but challenge him set up.

and don't let Q shot FT at the end of the game.
