UNC-NC State Preview: Tar Heels Shoot for Sweep of Rival Wolfpack

“I think probably the biggest difference in NC State now than when we played them earlier in the conference season is they’re playing bigger now. They’ve got a big lineup. And so for them, they’re athletic, they’re long, they’re big. It allows them to be even better defensively, rebounding the basketball, attacking the basket. … They throw a number of different defenses at you to try to create steals or to speed you up. For us offensively, we can’t allow whatever defense they play, however they play it, to decide and dictate how we play and how efficient we are at the offensive end.” — UNC coach Hubert Davis on Friday
