What's wrong wtih NC State basketball?
NC State is losing transfers like it's going out of style. The list of transfers from NC State who are still playing in the NCAA would make a legit NCAA tourney team:
Kyle Washington (Cincinnati): 14 pts, 7 rb
Tyler Lewis (Butler): 7 pts, 4 assists (2nd in the nation in assist/turnover ratio)
Rodney Purvis (Connecticut): 13 pts, 4 rb, 3 asists
Caleb Martin (Nevada): currently sitting out a transfer year but averaged 12 pts and 5 rb last year for NCST
Caleb Martin (Nevada): currently sitting out a transfer year but averaged 6 pts, 4 rb, and 3 assists last year for NCST
Without these guys, NC State is currently 15-14 and 2nd to last in the ACC. They went 11-2 in nonconference but their best win was Georgia Southern (124th in RPI).
What is going on in Raleigh? Is Gottfried chasing people away? He's taken them to 2 Sweet 16s in 6 years but this looks like one of the worst teams of his 20 year coaching career.

Yes. Along with some very good assistants.

RE: What's wrong wtih NC State basketball?
Every school seems to lose 1-2 players a year to transfer these days.
Even without those guys NC State has enough talent left to be a good tournament team. But Mark Gottfired has lost his players. I don't know if it's personal life bleeding over into work life, or the loss of assistants that were better coaches, or what...
