RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State coach Kevin Keatts is encouraged simply by the fact his new Wolfpack team has won its first two games with a new pressing style of play.
There's also plenty to teach his players, too.
Allerik Freeman had 18 points to help the Wolfpack beat Charleston Southern 78-56 on Sunday, though N.C. State had a sluggish start and didn't put together a finishing blow on the shorthanded Buccaneers after a big run to close the first half.
"I told the guys in the locker room we're always happy with a win," Keatts said, "but now we've got to go back and figure out the things we didn't do well and then obviously get better at certain situations.
