Head Coach Kevin Keatts, Junior Guard Markell Johnson, and Senior Torin Dorn all talked with the media in the postgame press conference after NC State defeated Clemson in 59-58 in the 2nd round of the ACC Tournament today. The transcript is below.
KEVIN KEATTS: So guys, what a great ACC game, especially to open up on Wednesday when you talk about a 12:00 noon game. I told these guys I don’t think they woke up until about 1:00 and we started to plan. We didn’t do a great job in the first half. I thought we played on the back of our heels, and consequently you look at it, Clemson jumped out to a 16-point lead at half, and we gave up eight three-pointers which traditionally we’re a good three-point defensive team.
