QUICK HITS: From NC State’s 81-72 win over Presbyterian
Overall, NC State’s 9-point win over Presbyterian was pretty sloppy, especially on defense. But a win is a win and there were some good things to take away from this one as well. Here are my thoughts…
Giving up 28 points to Kory Mincy and allowing Presbyterian to shoot 50% at home is concerning. NC State was active on D, but there was certainly a lack of discipline on that end of the court. Keatts has the athletes, the size, and the length to pester teams on defense, but guys need to be a lot more focused on staing between their man and the basket. Far too often State gambled on point-to-point passes, leaving them out of position and creating a ton of ‘help and recover’ havoc.
