Playing against one of the taller front lines in the ACC, the last thing North Carolina State head coach Kevin Keatts wanted to see was his big men sitting on the bench.
That was the case more than Keatts liked in the first half against Florida State on Sunday. The first half ended with 21 total fouls, and the Wolfpack post trio of Omer Yurtseven, Abdul-Malik Abu and Lennard Freeman did more watching than playing.
Yurtseven only played seven of the opening 20 minutes after picking up two fouls in a three minute span. Freeman played 12, while Abu only played three minutes with two points.
