GAME THREAD: MBB at North Carolina State

[PonyPride]

The Mustangs come in to today's game with a record of 14-5 overall and 5-3 in ACC games

NC State is 9-9 overall and 2-5 in ACC games

NC State's record is a little deceiving. In its last 3 games, NCSU lost to UNC by 2, to VaTech by 3 and Cal by 3, so it's not like the Wolfpack is getting run out of the gym

Nice job by Miller, who gets the ball on the baseline and heads upcourt, cuts in front of Hill and hits the brakes — forcing Hill to run him over.

Each team has 3 fouls

offense looks much better when one of our guards can penetrate and kick the ball out to be moved around the perimeter. Looks like we have an advantage with much better (and more of them) 3 point shooters.
