ive watched a good deal of acc hoops this year.
the first meeting- nc state completely controlled the tempo for the first 30:00 of the game. nc state is a weird team. theyve got tons of talent and great athletes, but sendeck still doesnt open up his offense. he works a ton of sets and isnt going to want to get into a track meet with maryland.
the first meeting in maryland- i believe the halftime score was like 29-26 or something. it was a REAL low scoring 1st half.
scoring picked up a little in the 2h, but i remember watching that game and making a note of how well ncsu controlled the tempo.
personally, im strong on nc state. would lean to the under, but not playing it
