The battle for last place in ACC basketball Virginia beat N C State in Raleigh. Now if this is suppose to be last place battle and you can't beat Virginia at home then you must assume State can't beat anybody.
If you watched the game Saturday they put a graphic on the screen which pretty much was the last straw for me with Sidney Lowe. His first three years he was 15-33 in conference play. They are now 0-2 in his fourth year.
Lowe who has won about 53% of all his games will never get past this year unless this team pulls a Herb Sendeck and almost wins the ACC Tournament. By the way, folks in Raleigh pretty much ran Sendeck out of town at a winning percentage of almost 60%.
The basketball team has not won the conference since 1987, football 1979. You must know that Wolfpack fans have to be the most loyal in the world. The football stadium is filled every game with sixty thousand and sometimes basketball will put nineteen thousand in the house. I doubt there will be a basketball sellout for the remainder of this year as long as Lowe is there. That's the way as fans you protest when things are not going well, you don't go to the games.
I find it hard to believe that Lowe and Towe two glorious point guards from past Wolfpack national champions can't find a point guard. I judge point guards from their first pass once they get into the offensive end of the court.
State doesn't have any players of All american caliber, but they have some really good ones who when they are given the ball when they are ready to score can put it in the hole. A Tyler Hansbourough for Carolina could not bring the ball down the court and score. He had to rely on a point guard to get him the ball when he was open.
Seems as if every year is look who we have coming next year. This year was next year, last year.
Carolina has a point guard problem this year and Carolina fans are pulling their hair out. Point guards are what make any basketball teams go.
Sidney Lowe to have been a great point guard on a national championship team should know what one looks like and you would think know how to teach to be a point guard.
Then there is always look what we got coming next year.

But Tony, next year Sidney has Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown coming in. That will fix everything!! (Note: Sarcasm was used heavily in this post)
You not only need talented players, you need a staff that can get the best out of those players. Lowe is not the guy to make guys better. His first year was great and then that team digressed due to his inability to work in his new "top" talent. Start the search Wolfpack fans, time for a change...
