Great win today. I said before the game that I didn’t care what the outcome was because I knew the trajectory of the program. Beating UNC at UNC is NC state’s toughest game (well, that or the ACC tournament championship game). To go and get one today just suggests the progress is coming quicker than I expected.
Great game by Freeman, Markell, Yurt, DORN (stat stuffer), Beverly, etc.. Nice game management by Keatts. I thought we might get jobbed after the initial OT play, but we pushed through. Freeman had ice in his veins and Markell made some clutch plays down the stretch. High 5s all around.
As for the big picture, this road win will help out tournament profile. I still think if we can get to 9-9, we are a solid bubble team even with the non-conference schedule and the N. Iowa loss. Just keep grinding guys!
