As the UCLA search cranks up, some people have suggested NC State’s Kevin Keatts. One guy - maybe it was Dan Dakich - says that Keatts “coaches with a smile.”
Well not so much Thursday, at least not in the first half.
Basketball, generally speaking, is a game for taller people so when a small guy is really good it’s celebrated.
In the first half, Miami’s Chris Lykes was sensational.
For the first time, we saw a guy who reminded us of Muggsy Bogues.
Lykes was just killing State with ball pressure. The Pack really didn’t know how to deal with him.
