Florida State freshman forward Jonathan Isaac said one of the keys to beating N.C. State was to get the ball out of Dennis Smith Jr.’s hands.
The Seminoles found success with that in their 95-71 win over the Wolfpack on Wednesday in Tallahassee, Fla.
“They’ve got a great shooter in Maverick Rowan and a good post guy in (Abdul-Malik) Abu, but those guys don’t really handle the ball well coming up the floor,” Isaac said. “So if we get the ball out of Dennis Smith’s hands early we can attack those bigs trying to handle the ball up the floor.
