So a day after referee Karl Hess decided to make point and toss out two NC State greats for arguing with him from the stands, NC State decides to recognize those same two greats (along with the rest of their 1989 team) on Tuesday before the Carolina game. Sure, Debbie Yow can’t say anything publicly about the incident or she’ll likely receive a fine, but she’s saying enough with this gesture.

The NC State bigs went hard and beat UNC at their own game.  In fact,  State out scored the Heels 42-22 in the paint. I was really impressed by this. I thought in the first matchup State really just took it at UNC and thought they could out muscle them, but in this one they were more creative.
