Tonight, North Carolina State travels to Chapel Hill to face the Tar Heels.
The Wolfpack has been playing well, and should have a lot of confidence going into this matchup.
There isn't a need for any long-winded "breakdown" of what has to happen for NCSU to win tonight.
NC State has to play very well. Period. They have to limit turnovers, make shots, and play very solid defense. Easy baskets have to be limited. There will be no room for errors, and they have to maintain their focus. Even if all of that happens, it will just provide an opportunity to win. The outcome would not be guaranteed.
North Carolina is a very talented team. They have four or five guys who, on any given night, can be the reason that they beat you. If your team tries to focus on taking away one player, there are plenty of guys waiting to step up.
I suspect that Coach Lowe will use a defensive game plan similar to the one that worked so well against Wake Forest. Multiple defensive looks may help slow down UNC's high-paced offensive attack. Any time that the Tar Heels use determining what defense the 'Pack is playing is time that they aren't in transition.
If NC State's recent performances are the "new normal", the game tonight should be quite interesting and fun to watch.
