Syracuse vs. NC State

Carrier Dome, Syracuse, N.Y.
NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts Quotes:
Opening Statement:
“Markell made a big shot at the end of the game and made a huge free throw to win the game so were very fortunate to get out of here. I told the guys when things weren’t going our way, I thought we stuck in there. Obviously, we put them on the free throw line a lot and we got a little frustrated but I gotta stay positive and we finished the game”
How did you open up for those big threes in the second half?
“You know I think we moved them around a lot. When you’re playing the Syracuse zone, you have to give them different looks because they are good and they become used to one play. So we ran a lot of different plays. We wanted to get the ball down the middle, we wanted to drive it sometimes and screen the zone. We kind of moved them around and moved them through the corners.”
What does this mean for an NCAA bid? I know it’s kind of early but with a big win on the road.
“You’re right it is kind of early. All I can tell you is it was a good win on the road against a very good basketball team.”
