That was a good win against a very aggressive and physical Miami team playing at home - a team that beat a ranked Geogia Tech team their last time out by wearing them down. I was proud of how our team fought, rebounded, and stayed connected on defense and offense the entire game.

This team is still (obviously) a work in progress, but every win we pick up is one step closer to march, and where we want to be.

Yeah, boo-hoo. Those 2 "servicable" guards were ranked #2 and #5 overall in their classes. Another starter was ranked #5 in hers. The other players are international so no high school ranking, but all played for their national teams, and Juhasz transferred in as a two-time first-team Big 10 player.
All but about 5 other schools would like to be in Geno's predicament.
Having score 37 points in the first three quarters, State scores 31 points in the 4th to beat Louisville.
Not sure what I think of Crème as an evaluator, but FWIW he has Shy at number four on his list of the top ten freshmen.

Yep, the number three team in the country actually was outscored 31-4. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it and even then I'm not sure. Once the Pack got going Louisville simply unraveled. They couldn't do anything right.
As an aside, Miami just beat FSU at FSU for the first time since 2014.
NCSU's next game is Sunday against #19 Virginia Tech and Center Elizabeth Kitley, who is currently second in both scoring and rebounding in the ACC. It should be a classic confrontation between State's Elissa Cunane (10th in scoring, 5th in rebounding) and Kitley. The game is at 4pm ET on ACCN, right before Duke's game with Virginia at 6pm ET.
