NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts had this to say!

“I’m sitting back there in the locker room yelling at the TV,

These young men believe, and they’re fighting,”“The message we wanted to send today to everybody is, ‘Man, we’re going to fight, we’re going to fight.’ “What I’m telling you now is we ain’t going to get pushed around. It’s just not going to happen.”

I deserved the technical because the call was awful. I thought they missed a call,”

“I thought Dennis got fouled in comparison to how all the calls were made. “I didn’t think I deserved to get tossed. I didn’t see the second (technical) coming that quick. ... I absolutely knew what I was doing on the first one, but not the second one.”
