There really weren’t a lot of surprises in the game. I said in my Know Your Enemy column that this game shouldn’t even be close due to the talent disparity and thankfully I was right. It was 42-6 early in the third quarter and the team lost a little intensity at that point. I don’t want to say they were slacking, but it’s hard to play with 100% focus when you’re up by 36 points. That’s a lesson to be learned, but overall, the team did what they were supposed to do against an inferior opponent: won handily.
This would be a much more exciting game if this was a meeting in November. And it was on the hardwood. Ah, well.
I was looking forward to getting to the Burgh until I realized that the game landed on Yom Kippur. So instead of meeting with my friends before the game. Sitting in the pressbox to watch. And all the other stuff. I’m not. Fasting. Heading to Synagogue shortly, then cutting out around noon to be home and watch the game without drink or snack. Yeesh.
This is the ACC Network Game of the Week. (Really? Wow? ESPN must have gobbled up everything else from the ACC if this is the best they are doing.) You can find ACC affiliates here.
So just the final media rundown.
