NC State likes to do two things on offense. They like to get the ball down into the post and use DJ Burns as a point man. This is their most effective offense. However, when that’s taken away, NC State likes to use high ball screens.
They primarily do this to create switches, but this is the ACC and entire rosters have been created to deal with switches. Meanwhile, the teams that don’t switch as much (Virginia), have been able to push the NC guards out enough to give their man enough time to recover and get back into position.
