NC State Overcomes Vanderbilt 84-78

Game Summary:

As we anticipated, three key Vandy players who had not played this season played tonight and two of them, Lawrence and Lupin, were their leading scorers. We did not anticipate that their starting PG and leading scorer would be injured and miss the game. They will be a handful when he comes back, which should benefit our resume later.

It was a tough game, not made any easier by foul trouble and slow offensive starts each half. But our trademark this season has been defense, and that was no different tonight forcing 19 turnovers and scoring 16 points off those turnovers.
