“According to espnapp”

NC State wasn’t able to control the tempo as any Atlantic Coast Conference team knows who opposes Virginia they like to play slow while likely there opponent likes to play fast whichever team controls the tempo is likely to win the game.

Following NC State’s 50-63 loss to Virginia NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts had this to say!

I thought the bad news for us was in the first half we let the score get away from us . In the past we’ve been able to control tempo and get those guys to play a little faster and turn them over . But we couldn’t . Their guards did a great job of controlling tempo and were aggressive in the paint .
