Their 3pt shooting is almost as bad as ours, ranking 223rd, and their rebounding is 110th. I can’t see how they torch this zone, even as well as Wake did. That’s an implied score of 73-68, which seems about right where it will end. Vegas is good @ this.

I was expecting the line to be closer... If I were a betting man, I'd shy away from this game.

Pitt played them using a zone defense. They are the only ACC team to zone them. Until tonight.

Also Keatts' first exposure to SU's zone, as a head coach. He did coach on Pitino's staff for 3-4 years, so he'll undoubtedly draw off of that.

Okay, this means they expect NCState to beat us by 5.5? I have gambling dyslexia!

Beat us by any amount or lose by less than 5.5

Maybe he can ask this guy on some help on cracking it -

I'd bet SU only because this looks like a rat line.

Ken Pom has 72-68, fwiw.
