If there was one game that you could pinpoint on the NC State schedule that you’d look at and say “Yeah, that’s going to be a problem” it was this one at Virginia.
An inexperience NC State team going up against one of the most well-coached, physical teams in the country. It ended as many expected, with the Wolfpack falling 68-51.
Keatts explained what Virginia was going to do, they saw it on film, and then Virginia did it. The Cavaliers used their pack line defense to hold the Wolfpack to 41% from the field and only 12% from long range.
