Following NC State coming back to tie the game at 47 to force overtime Wednesday at Virginia NC State lost in overtime at Virginia 59-53 where they were out rebounded by Virginia 54-32 NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts had this to say about his team toughness in 1st half about how how his team rebounded!

I didn’t think we brought enough toughness in the first half,

We had our chances but it’s going to be hard to win games if we don’t rebound better,”

“The result of that is 54-to-32 rebounding. I thought they really did beat us to 50/50 balls.”

What a helluva game,

“If you didn’t see the first half you’d be like, ‘Man that was a great game the entire time.’ “But this team has a lot of fight, a lot of grit. It was a good ACC road fight and this team will build from it.”
