Following NC State losing the first match up of 2023-2024 regular season to Syracuse 77-65 Saturday in Syracuse New York NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts had this to say!

I thought this was our worst game we have played the entire year,We didn’t have pop, we didn’t have juice. I didn’t know what to explain it. Maybe it’s our travel. Maybe we were just flat a little bit. This is one of those games where coaches talk about burning the tape and not looking at it. Typically you would lose a game like this by 30. Because we do have some pride in our locker room we found a way to play a little better in the second half. But it was a game that I didn’t think anybody on our team had a good game.”

We’ve got to fix our mistakes, for sure, and just come together as a team, as one,

D.J. Horne said. “We’re still trying to figure out how to do that right now, and the sooner we can do that, I think the quicker we can get out of this slump, these slow starts, and get back into the win column.”
