Here is what NC State coach Kevin Keatts had to say following the win at Miami.
Thought this was very telling about his mood at halftime:
When Miami went on a 17-2 run to end the first half, that was one of the few times this year the offense got fragmented. Was moving the ball better a big part of what was needed in the second half?
“We completely did not follow the scouting report in the first half. As a matter of fact, we did it the opposite. If we said drive to the hole and kick it, we didn’t. We had a bunch of turnovers because we didn’t share the basketball. If we said to defend the three-point line, we didn’t. I have to figure out the next game how to switch it up and tell them something different and they’ll play the other way.
“In the second half, we talked about following the scouting report and doing all the right things. I’m proud of these guys. You can tell it’s ACC time. The level of play is high for both teams. This was a very good road win for us.”
