Looking back at FSU

Yesterday I posted the keys I thought necessary for the Pack to win:

NC State will win against FSU if...

• They have 13 or more assists (Actual Value: 11. Brought down by foulapalooza in the final 5 min)
• They make 14 or more free throws (Actual Value: 29!!. Brought up by foulapalooza in the final 5 min)
• And force 15 or more turnovers (Actual Value: 14. State did what they needed to here)

What I didn't see coming for a Pack win...

• NC State out-rebounded FSU by a large margin 32-25
• Scott Wood becoming the new local hero (10-15 fg, 7-11 3p, 7 reb, and one game-changing block)

Things State won in spite of...

• Eighteen turnovers, six by frequent savior Javi. He just hasn't seemed right since the game he sat for the hamstring.
• 5-17 shooting from our top three scorers. Scott Wood can't carry this crew forever!

Give the boys in red a win, but I'm 0-1 for predicting the key needed stats. I was close, but I'll keep taking L's here forever if this is how they'll come.

I'll take a stab at the Clemson game tomorrow or Friday.
