NC State Loses to BYU in Vegas Showdown Championship Game 95-86

Game Summary:

This one will be talked about for a while. Three players (including the coach’s son) and the coach tossed out of the game. BYU did exactly what they have done all season, the keys to the game were:

  1. Guard the 3PT arc – They hit 14 and shot 41.2%.
  2. Rebound – They out rebounded us by 11, winning both offensive and defensive ends
  3. Defend the passing lanes – They got 20 assists on 34 made shots

We were the better team in the first half, but they got back to playing their game and dominated the second half shooting 70%, including 9-13 from 3PT.
