In a rare game that was both back and forth and also one in which FSU never trailed, the Seminoles swatted away enough shots at the rim and made enough free throws down the stretch to emerge with a 78-73 win over NC State.
Above the Rim:
- Too much dribbling early in the game resulted in numerous turnovers against NC State’s pressure defense. In the second half the Seminoles started doing a better job of not bouncing the air out of the basketball and it resulted in much better overall offensive execution and significantly cut down their turnover rate.
