NC State head coach Kevin Keatts is coaching like his job depends on it. From what I was hearing, heading into the game against Syracuse in the 2nd round, his seat was pretty hot, and his job was in jeopardy.
What did Keatts team need to accomplish in order for him to keep his job? Was it to make it to the Semifinals? Was it to make it to the Finals? Was it win the Championship, or you’re out?
Truly, I don’t know.
You have to give Keatts credit. His team is playing their best basketball at the most important time of year, and it’s not even close.
