I found this annoying, too--as well as the frequent comments from Jay whathisname that NU didn't have near the athletes that NC State had.  

Would anyone watching the game sans commentary have concluded that?  Whether it's because we're Northwestern, or because we have a lot of white guys on the squad, it's still crappy journalism.  Here's a different narrative Jay could have dug out: that a well-coached, disciplined team with better fundamentals often scores more points than a their more-athletic opponents.  Duh.
