Following Wake Forest 83-79 win over NC State Wake Forest Head Coach Steve Forbes had this to say about his teams 83-79 win over NC State!

We have a lot of balance on our team and proved that today. We shot ourselves in the foot a little bit, missed the front end of some one-and-ones and we're a pretty good free-throw shooting team, but if you think about the last game that we lost, they shot 33 free throws and today they shot 11. Last time we had 17 turnovers and today we had eight. It was still a close game but it's more of what we would want on our terms."
