• The fact that NC State only had 7 turnovers reveals a lot of what was wrong with this game. They had 17 assists against Arizona. This game was filled with a lot of needless dribbling, and one-on-one play.
• NC State doesn’t have the perimeter shooters to be shooting 30 three-point shots.
• The Wolfpack won the rebounding battle, which is a positive step.
