Highlights:
Villanova: "......They looked timid and tentative, a team more afraid to lose than one searching for a win. "
"This wasn't really that complicated for N.C. State. A team with guards every bit as quick and just as good as shooters as the Wildcats have matched Nova toe to toe in the backcourt and exposed Villanova's major weakness -- its frontcourt. Mixing Lennard Freeman and BeeJay Anya, the Wolfpack ate up Villanova's interior game to the tune of 34 points in the paint to just 14 for the Wildcats. Abu was the real star, finishing with 13 points and 12 rebounds."
"Ball don't lie? Numbers don't either. Villanova's were horrendous everywhere. One of the best 3-point shooting teams in the country finished 5 of 16 from behind the arc."
