Points in paint: NC St 18, Nova 4.

by Mike Jensen via twitter 3/22/2015 12:10:10 AM
So why is Nova within 5 (despite having just 3 assists): they've made 8 of 10 free throws.

by Mike Jensen via twitter 3/22/2015 12:10:30 AM
This is always the scenario. Most high seeds see it sometime. What do you have when shots aren't falling and basket gets a little smaller?

by Mike Jensen via twitter 3/22/2015 12:14:34 AM
Villanova shot 28.6 pct (8 of 28) in the first half, 3 of 9 from three, 1 turnover. Cats were outrebounded 21-15, Hilliard with 12 points

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:20:15 AM
Correction: Nova shot 4 of 12 from 3, NC State shot 3 of 9.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:20:55 AM
Ochefu was 5 for 5 in win over Lafayette, 0 for 5 tonight.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:23:37 AM
Only 4 minutes of Josh Hart obviously was huge. (2 fouls)

Hilliard to bench at 18:10 mark, looking at lower right leg.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:27:57 AM

Hilliard back at the 17:18 mark

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:29:11 AM
cats down 8 early second half.

by mike kern via twitter 3/22/2015 12:31:08 AM
Not getting any better for Wildcats, who trail 40-33. Hilliard's layup does a 360 and stays out, Abu's dunk is a no-doubter.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:33:26 AM
Abu dunks, Nova calls a TO. Seems familiar.

nova down 7, 16 left, jay calls time. Doesn't look like same Cats. We'll see.

state has 7 more buckets on 5 less shots.

by mike kern via twitter 3/22/2015 12:40:44 AM
Since Booth's 3 put Villanova up 28-25, NC State has outscored them 18-5.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:42:00 AM
Trailing by 12, Nova's 6-0 run sparks hope but Lacey hits a runner and has an and-1 after timeout, NC St leads 47-39, 11:32 left.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 12:48:36 AM
state looking way too comfortable.Hilliard0-for-5 this half. Hart hasn't taken shot, after being MVP of Big East tourney.

by mike kern via twitter 3/22/2015 12:50:01 AM
Time getting short for Villanova, losing 52-45 with 7:05 left, NC State with a 1-and-1 coming.

by Joe Juliano via twitter 3/22/2015 1:00:56 AM
cats down 7 at 7:05. State going to line. They say you have to win one of these games to make a run. We're about to find out.
