Following NC State beating Florida State 113-79 in only match up of 2025 -2026 regular season Head Coach Will Wade shared his thoughts by saying I thought the beginning of the second half was a little bit choppy,”We were in, kind of, the same position last Saturday against Virginia. We were down 20 at the half. Came out, and by the 17-minute mark, we cut it to like nine, or something like that. We knew that they were going to their connected team, they’re a good team. We knew they were going to come out strong to try to make that run. We were able to withstand that.”We had some stuff,”of some of the imperfections. “They (Florida State) cut it to 17. That was as close as they got in the second half, but our guys were able to stretch the lead back out. Outside of that first three or four minutes in the second half, I thought we were really solid.”We did our job. We went on the road, and we won two games that we needed to win on the road,”
This is what we’re supposed to do. This was great. It’s a good win. Florida State’s a good team. They’re going to beat some folks down here, and they play a unique style of play. “This was a good win for us, but we’ve still got to continue to get better. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. We’ve got a big stretch ahead of us.”
