Odds or Evens

Looks like State hasn’t exactly lit up the scoreboard this year. Put Colgate in for reference. Coming into this game they are on a losing streak of 2. They are 7-5 at H, 2-4 A, 1-3 N.

State is 10 – 12 overall and 3 – 8 conf.

Seems like a good match up for us size wise. They start 4 Guards. We play like we did v Wake we have a WIN. But the shooting has to be there from at least 4 Starters and we have to be very active on D – balanced and aggressive.

They shoot: .427 FG, .337 3PT, .712 FT

Best Shooters:

Seabron 18.3 PPG

Smith 15.3

Hellems 15.0

Morsell 7.7

Hayes 7.6

Dowuana 4.1

Cole will have a 5" height advantage. If he operates close in we win, I hope.

The two guys I worry about are Seabron and Hellems. Both were very good against us last year. They are tough guards and the athleticism advantages can offset our size advantage. We have had their number but it's always hard to gauge with this year's group.

NC State will pressure and press us.
They were one of the few teams last year that did that. Their HC is smart.
We need to reduce turnovers like we did against Wake.

I am not expecting to win on the road but we can.

I tend to agree - their coach will not sit back and let us dribble it up the court at our own pace. Don't think it is a great match-up.
