Following NC State improving to 2-0 on the season Head Coach Will Wade had this to say!

We’ve got to guard the damn ball. Our defenders have to guard the ball one on one,”

We gave up 44 points in the paint tonight. Luckily, they shot 4 of 25 from three, but we just got blown by, blown by, blown by. [I] started subbing guys out as they got blown by. We’ve got to be able to sit down and guard the ball. And, our gap help gets too extended. We’ve got to sit in the gaps and rake at the ball and not let them just straight line-drive us to the paint.

What our point guards have to understand is, when you have the ball, you have our program in your hands,”

“You have N.C. State in your hands. All the fans watching on TV, everybody who cares about our basketball program, you have them in your hands. You have to take care of the ball. Ball security is job security. If you want to be the damn point guard, then you have to secure the ball.”
