NC State walked out of Reynolds Coliseum with the 19 point victory, but it’s likely Kevin Keatts won’t be all that impressed with the victory.
In the first half, the Wolfpack imposed their will, jumping out to a 23 point lead. However, they lost focus in the second half, allowing UMKC to get within 11, before pulling away again at the end.
Torin Dorn led the way with 22 points and a monstrous 17 boards. Markell snapped out of his funk to add 17 points, while Braxton Beverly added 12.
Kevin Keatts has to be pleased with the 48.
