NC State post players are in for a test come Saturday as they must find a way to stop John Collins. The 6-10 power forward is having a great season averaging 16.4 PPG (59% FG) and 8.8 RPG. Danny Manning has done a great job at putting his talented sophomore in spots where he can thrive. How can NC State slow down Collins?
The Pack will need their perimeter players to pressure Wake’s guards from having easy entry passes to Collins. With ball pressure, NC State guards can buy their big men more time to move Collins away from the basket.
