Yigitoglu came up big today and made clutch FTs to close this one out but he scared the heck out of me when he hung on the rim. Credit the officials who could have called the technical and really potentially affected the outcome of this game!

[Charleston Pony]

We finished plus 8 on the boards after NCSU enjoyed a 15-5 turnover advantage and collected 14 offensive boards giving them 12 more FG attempts than our guys. Down the stretch we came up big on the defensive boards, denied them 2nd looks and that, along with making 11-12 FTs was the difference. Matt Cross with a nice double double today

Really nice road win today and now hopefully we can beat both Cal and Stanford in Moody next week. I think those teams are a lot better than their records are showing and Stanford's big man will really test Yigitoglu and our front court depth
