in the last 12 days underway in Pittsburgh and Oakland controls the opening tip and one thing you can expect and you got Mohamed diar on Townson Who was the player of the year in the Horizon League they’re going to play 98% manto man I expect them to be very aggressive tonight they’d love to force turnovers and get out and transition a little bit you can see DJ horn the pressure he’s putting on Lampman right there Lampman struggled the other night and his first shot is Off the Mark Michael oano running the break up ahead to DJ horn that was a picture perfect part of Kevin keats’s game plan coming into this game on that first [Applause] possession Golden Grizzlies out of the Horizon League they won the Horizon league tournament defeating Milwaukee last Tuesday you know I was so impressed with NC State Andrew that they played with unbelievable energy in the second half you would think at what point of the these guys going to get tired they didn’t do it now watch this defense by Oakland they play zone 85% of the time only marac plays more Zone than them in the country this is a matchup Zone it’s not a normal thing and that’s what it causes turnover off the pass from Muhammad diara and you know NC State they dominated the paint the other day against Texas Tech dominated it that’s going to be hard to do with this Zone because Camp’s going to pack it in and challenge them from the three-point line yeah they outscore Texas Tech in the paint 42 to2 and can’t be told us he basically laid out his entire game plan for us yesterday he wants NC State to shoot threes that’s the way the Zone will be designed tonight except one guy except one guy and that’s DJ horn DQ Cole with the shot clock at three and that shot won’t go Oakland started cold the other night they were 1 for 13 and tonight they’re 0 for three good defense inside as horn could not finish see how long it takes for campy to go to Jack goal ke last time he came in four minutes in and once he comes in he doesn’t go out not going to come out and a foul is called our officials Ray natilly Byron Jared Greg Nixon take a look at this defense it kind of starts as a 131 and they did a good job over here by trying to get the ball into the middle but then they back it up quickly and they force the turnover goes off Burns his hands out of bounds they are going to have trouble in this game getting post UPS against this defense it was diara who was whistled for the [Applause] foul Conway calling for it defended by Burns Conway fakes One Way Comes the other way and score he is very good around the basket he’s only made 10 threes the whole year but around that basket he is tough and here’s that defense much more packed in than it was the other night against Kentucky Kentucky was a great three-point shooting team this team is not and look how it morphs into a manto man but that’s the guy they got to watch that’s the one problem with this Zone DJ horn fourth in the ACC that was his 973 of the year DQ Cole played an unbelievable game the other night for Oakland 12 points eight rebounds four assists no turnovers and the biggest shot in the history of the school probably with 28 seconds to go knocked out that three when they were up one okono and it’s high up it will stay with the wolf pack and here he comes just over three minutes in Jack Goki this guy’s become a folk hero Legend now the question is what is NC State going to do with him Kentucky did not do a they they contested hard but they didn’t switch a lot I have a feeling that NC State’s going to be switching a lot to get to him so those screens don’t hurt them 10 threes and 32 points against Kentucky on Thursday night for goal key horn thought about a deep three [Applause] now horn runner from the free throw line and DJ horn off to a hot start he’s got all seven for the pack one of the best players in the ACC third Team all ACC this year Townsen good defense by diara you can watch live men’s games on your computer phone tablet or stream streaming device with NCAA March Madness live download now to stay up to date on all the action and you know this is rare usually you don’t see middle Brooks and burns play very much together and now they’re playing together early they took diara out of the game interesting basically playing with two F men now middle Brooks a career-high 21 against the Red Raiders they’re putting a lot of pressure NC State and all they’re switching all these things shot clock at two and look Morel how he’s denying goie Townsen Off the Mark and the Golden Grizzlies have started one for [Music] [Applause] seven Burns has rocket Watts on him that’s interesting as they switch back in that zone Burns off glass with that soft touch it’s unbelievable such a big man with such a soft [Applause] touch watt saw what a move but he couldn’t finish Conway does Rocket watt still not 100% he did not play in The Horizon League championship game with an ankle injury but coach campy told us he was great on Thursday against Kentucky eight points four assists and just one turnover five minutes in here is morel and an airball on the three Burns saves it right to Middle [Applause] Brooks shot clock at four horn has had the hot hand but goal key is there with the rebound you know morcel was sixth in the ACC last year in three-point shooting percentage and this year he’s 27% really struggling from the three-point [Applause] line Gokey here he is first shot of the night you know you got to stay down on the shot fake I know it’s easier said than done but he got Kentucky off their feet made at least three the other night now he shot fakes oconnell and he gets one there and the place [Applause] erupts middle Brooks good defense oh wow wow a foul is called on Conway later tonight Arizona already on to the Sweet 16 as Middlebrooks misses the free throw he made 10 he made nine out of 10 last night uh Thursday night and diara has come back in DJ Burns to the bench Goki started 0 for two against Kentucky but one for one so far this evening and NC State likes to put that 221 press on they press about 26% of the time which is third among power six teams so they press a lot Jaden Taylor Off the Bench to cover goal ke Conway at the free throw line shot clock at five Townsen and a foul is called as we say hello to Evan wasburn hello Andrew and if you know any good shooter they have a routine in talking gki yesterday this is an inseason look at how he gets to where he is as a shooter it’s close to a th000 shots a day when you factor in practice and again every time he’s on this court he’s beyond that Arc coach touched on it no layups and layup line no mid-range jumpers it’s all about Beyond The Arc I mean they call it a layup Lind for a reason suppos they layup I’ve never seen that before everybody’s laying it up and he’s shooting threes a 5 second call at the other end and a switch defensively Casey morcel was on goal ke he’s one of their more physical Defenders middle Brooks not this time but he gets it back he’s a good player middle Brooks I mean I know Kevin ke he came from Clemson where he had trouble playing cuz they had a guy Nam PJ Hall there more cell as it in you know when the game is fast that’s going to help NC State they’re going to get these kind of B shots at the basket when they set up it’s going to be tough but if they can keep the pace fast it’s going to help a lot 84 NC State in the paint so far in this one and that’s the one thing that that zone is not supposed to allow Bui comes out to get it now Townsen puts it on the deck Townsen strong off class for two so much focus on goal key the other night but don’t forget about Trey Townsen Horizon League player of the year he had a double double with 177 points and 12 rebounds well you know he draws so much attention that it lets other guys get open you saw it against Kentucky a lot orell too strong Middlebrooks corals it misses Middlebrooks again knocked away out of bounds and it will be with NC States the size is a problem and the one aspect of this Zone that makes it tough is it’s hard to defensive rebound unless you’re matched up perfectly in this tough to defensive rebound DJ Burns back on the floor and the fact that these guys are much bigger than [Applause] Oakland Burns wearing bright green sneakers today and a great dish to diara he has incredible Vision you know he had no assists in that game that they played the other night he had seven in the ACC Championship game against North [Applause] Carolina okono is defending goaly rocket Watts the ball hander for the Golden Grizzlies who have won nine of their last 10 shot clock at four Watts step back is short and Taylor clears really good defense by NC State that time golden Grizzly shooting just 33 percent from the [Applause] floor OK conell for three good look at that one and Michael oconnell connects you know they’re putting on a clinic right now against that zone Kevin Keats worked for Rick patino at Louisville and they played all matchup Zone he told me his first couple of years so he knows how to attack it they are pushing the ball up and getting down the floor before Oakland can match up with them Lampman trying to answer and he does and that’s a big shot for Lampman his last four games he was just five of 25 from deep and I think this is a really tough one-day prep for NC State to play against a defense like this that you have never seen all year and you had one day to get ready for it burns sends it out to Taylor and he hits and Jaden Taylor the other night didn’t do anything he didn’t score he didn’t even play that much and he’s their third leading scorer he did not even attempt a [Applause] shot they’re putting a lot of pressure look how far out Oakland’s running their offense it’s tough to run your offense from 40 ft Lampman that’s a deep three you know you can’t he made 84 threes during the season I know we talked a lot about Goki but he’s a great shooter too he had a career-high eight in a win over Robert Morris in February meanwhile the Wolfpack have scored on each of their last five trips Burns trying to make it six and he does the way he uses that glass is incredible his dad all pumped up [Applause] [Music] 225 got to credit NC State lap goki’s not been able to get open they’re switching everything and that’s making it very difficult worked with Rick patino when Rick patino was playing all match up zone so he knows where this thing has to be attacked but it’s another thing to be able to execute all this with just one day prep against Kentucky Gokey got off seven shots in his first 6 and 1/2 minutes different story so far tonight just the one three Marcel’s a really good Defender too by the way shot clock at five they’re not helping you got to see how morcel doesn’t even care if somebody else drives normally you help he’s not helping he’s got one goal and that’s to stop Jack GOI number of times already tonight Oakland has had the shot clock winding down that time Town’s been able to connect Burns turn around wow it’s automatic yeah and if he catches it that deep then you’re really in trouble he was seven for 11 11 against Texas Tech and so far tonight Burns is three out of [Applause] three Lampman forces a three and in the corner morcel has it NC state has scored on seven straight trips and they lead 247 Wolfpack trying to get get to the Sweet 16 for the first time in 9 years they’re getting the ball wherever they want against this zone right now conell misses an open three that started with a screen on top by DJ Burns towns into goal key here he is putting up a three Off the Mark good defense by morcel great [Applause] defense Taylor turnaround is good I think they need a timeout the pace of this game is not good for Oakland and the Inu State fans on their feet as Taylor pokes it [Applause] away Conway with burns on him Conway over Burns rattles it in well he’s made a couple of nice moves in the post so far [Applause] Conway DJ horn on the bench right now for NC State I just think this Zone looks like it’s a little spread out see they got it to the corner that time and goal key goes up for the rebound inside 7 minutes left in the first half goal key here he goes fakes the shot the three is goodone you got to stay down I know it’s easy to say when you’re guarding a guy who can shoot like that but you got to stay down on shot fakes the two that he’s made were both off shot fakes 133 threes made this year for Jack Goki and he hasn’t bounced the ball once yet I think he bounced it three times the other night I think coach told me that three times Morel in the paint no good and morcel trying to save it it’ll be Oakland ball when we come back haven’t done that they’ve really let him catch it almost whenever he wanted can’t you said he had about 1300 teexs after the win against Kentucky a number of retired coaches congratulating him including Steve fiser Roy Williams and he said Jim ban texted him the Zone obviously beheim running that with Syracuse for years yeah he was like 98% Zone Camp’s only 86% Townsen down low oh he missed it and the rebound found to Horn who’s back on the floor i i t the size of NC state has been a problem in this game it’s been a big problem on the glass so far too diara oh flies in for two I mean and you know there like these half transitions they’re not full fast breaks but they’re pushing the ball up Townsen and it was last Touch by the wolf pack you can watch whip around coverage of all men’s games on your computer phone tablet or streaming device with fast break presented by AT&T in the March Madness Live app download now rebounding is really hurting Oakland lap 14-7 in favor of the pack yeah I mean you could tell the size and the size has been tough on towns and down [Applause] low Conway jumper and diara over to okell [Music] diara for three and goal key with the rebound that’s what Oakland would like to see them do take those what about this guy here oh he’s free and a three is third of the half and every time he touches this ball the building lights up nine points four rebounds for gold key horn trying to answer and the rebound is grabbed by Burns and he gets it to diara who misses diara ends up with it again misses again and a scramble out of bounds to the Golden [Applause] [Music] Grizzlies that was a good job by Lampman getting his hand on that first [Applause] pass DQ Cole fired up it’s an 8-2 Run for the Golden [Applause] Grizzlies goal keie okono right on him he’s dribbling now he’s shooting this one won’t go make him dribble horn Glides the other away and locates Middlebrooks here’s horn for three NC State just two points in the last four minutes lantman way off yeah I didn’t like that one I think anything that speeds up NC State is not good for Oakland wolf pack have cooled off they’re one for their last eight Burns right to Middle Brooks and the shot clock at 10 I thought Burns got fouled there I tell you the truth middle Brooks Baseline no and Goki flies in for the [Applause] board Lampman left alone good look for Blake Lampman really good [Applause] look Taylor and a foul is called on Townson 17 fans now he’s a star in the face of the game in front of 20,000 oh Evan thank you as Cole and Middlebrooks Collide and Middlebrooks was holding the back of his head whoa good thing nobody got hurt there at least it looks that way and the foul is on middle Brooks that’s his second you know this Zone’s Effectiveness has been growing as the game has been going on in the first 11 minutes NC stayed had 14 points in the paint in the last six they have two and tonight the Wolfpack have missed six layups already they lead by [Applause] three Townsen around diara Trey Town’s got six points great footwork there very patient on the low post obviously NC State with their size not doubling him [Applause] now they’re fronting Burns you see that time tone left them and burns misses layup another Miss layup for the wolf pack Golden Grizzlies have a chance to take the lead with two and a half to [Applause] play now DJ horn is face guarding Goki and here he comes off the screen uses the screen of Conway back to Conway for three Conway is two of 13 on the season shooting three yeah as open as he was you don’t want to take that in this game now towns and’s rotating in front of burns number four that’s this is what Greg campy wanted diara and Cole the rebound you’re absolutely right La this is the the game plan that camp laid out to us yesterday now it’s starting to work in his favor 100% how about Goki and Taylor blocks it great Hustle by Jaden Taylor and you know he gets that Jaden Taylor is a good Defender and GOI gets that ball way up that’s not easy to block diara deep position and he scores NC State had been one for their last 12 prior to that bucket and you know what else you notice Andrew the pace is slow down considerably they had 27 points 5 minutes ago now they have 30 hitsy [Applause] State Townsen musling his way and can’t get it to [Applause] drop Taylor nowhere close and Cole wants to [Applause] push Voli bounces it to tent 45 seconds left in the first half Townson will take that puff shot and diara was able to get it over to oconnell with a 10-second difference between the game clock and the shot [Music] clock neither team has used a timeout here in the first [Applause] half Burns catch and shoot yes that’s driving great that’s exactly what greb campy told Evan wasburn you can’t let him get to his right shoulder and you got to get in front of him and Greg campy will call timeout with nine seconds inside out and have done a very good job of attacking that zone in a half court not as good as they did the first 10 minutes but still good Ron pass commits a foul they did add 1 second while we were away and now 7.8 on the clock for an Oakland team that’s gone cold just five points in the last 6 minutes and 40 seconds they’ve missed nine of their last 11 trying to get one before the half Watts with two rocket Watts puts it up and hits at the horn and at the break it’s a three-point NC State advantage and Rocket Watts played very well the other night too he goes one-on-one here with the shot clock winding down little cross over pull up he makes it big shot there Evans with Kevin Keats well coach outside of that last play how has your defense impacted this game I think it’s great I think our pressure is really wearing down on them uh we’re getting after we’re making everything tough I mean good basketball team they can make tough shots but I think we’re doing a good job what do you think is going to be most critical in this second half well I think we got to keep defending uh we’ve missed some easy baskets around the rim we got to finish those coach thanks thank you shot fakes that’s the thing and here’s Goki shot chart he’s taken four shots from the left side of the key two from the right got to stay down on shot fakes but give NC State Credit for their overall defense which was really good they held Oakland to 12 for 31 from the field he continues to climb up the charts three of six tonight 13 in the first three halves of his NCAA tournament career now one thing to keep an eye on here in the second half is NC State as we told you off the top seventh game in 12 days but we asked Kevin Keats about their fatigue and he said during the six-game win streak he feels they have played better and stronger in the second half of games we’ll see if that continues Tiara certainly has energy early oh you’re not kidding Andrew you took the words right out of my mouth the way he got after Townsen on that possession he was playing really really hard I tell you what these kids on NC State you got to give them a lot of credit cuz they have played extremely hard in this game and as you said said seventh game in 12 days amazing morcel and basically only play seven guys Evan what did Greg campy have to say well he said their defense is disrupting us taking it too long to get into our offensive sets he said make or Miss we got to Sprint that ball down the court get it in the paint and get it out and he added guys he feels like NC State will wear down he wants to try their legs in this second half with Pace Townson is fouled and when we met with campy yesterday he was the one that pointed out the seven games in 12 days and how he was going to try to take advantage of that today yes he was very sure because he even he looked at us and said how can that even be possible and and then we said the same thing to Kevin Kei what did Kevin ke tell us we played better in the second half y of all these games get complete coverage of the went for 27 today in a win over Holy Cross towns in one out of two at the free throw line we’ve only had four free throws in this game and a combined three turnovers so far great job of doubling that [Applause] time diara oh what a finish you know we have we don’t talk enough about this guy he had 17 and 12 last night he had 60 rebounds in five games in the AC tournament the hour has been really good Conway spins [Applause] around here’s DJ horn who scored seven points in the first three and 1 half minutes but none [Applause] since Townsen [Music] yes you had to see in transition that time morcel was only on Goki on the other side of the floor by himself about 50t from the ball face [Music] ging DJ Burns draws the double take away that right shoulder good good play there by Lampman right back inside to Burns and a foul on the floor let’s diara boy this is a thrilling thrilling Drive finished with the slam I’m working on it I’ve never seen you so excited about a promo time in time out I’m working I’m trying that Nissan deal how about a Nissan golf cart I’ll take anything I know you would here’s horn wide open has lost the touch made that first one in the game couple of drives goal key everyone went crazy when he got the pass now Townsen who’s doing work down there another Deuce for Townsen he’s got 11 they’ll let him get to that right should that left shoulder Oakland’s located in Rochester Michigan about 45 minutes Northwest of Detroit about a 4 and 1 half hour drive and a number of Golden Grizzlies fans have made the trip here to Pittsburgh and there’s a turnover just the third for the wolf pack Goki fakes the three now takes it and diara with the rebound if you make him dribble it it’s a much tougher shot for him he likes to come off the screen and fire without putting it on the floor good job by enzi state there making him Bounce It Burns and here comes the double Burns spins away from it and scores and that time Conway didn’t do a good job of taking away the right shoulder they’ve been doing they’ve been concentrating much more on that in this half but that time he got to the right shoulder 10 points for burns Cole Corner three diara with his 11th rebounds now Morel for three and NC State opens up a seven-point lead yeah well when you take a shot like that you’re not you don’t have to set up against the [Applause] Zone NC State is four of six this half towns good move and the foul Trey Townsen at 13 in the second half against Kentucky and he shown up in a big way in this second half so far taking the floor here in Pittsburgh later tonight Townsen at the line and Evan has more yeah Thursday we told you about Skip Townson right there in the middle of your screen he played for great camping in the late ‘ 80s he’s a professional photographer so he was behind the lens for the biggest moment of his son’s career and his alma mater and he told me it actually relaxed him to be able to be in that world as Oakland pulled off an unbelievable upset and he’s got the pictures guys to prove it Townsen Evan has scored all eight points for the Golden Grizzlies here in the second half and he’s looking for more on Middlebrooks as diara committed his third foul and he’s still out there I’m a little surprised at that I thought they should have taken him out for at least a couple of minutes but a turnover by Nava larua just the second turnover for the Golden Grizzlies and I’ll tell you diara almost got his fourth he set a screen on top that’s a good pass and nalua commits the foul all new wildcard at the line where he is scoreless so far today he’s 0 for four after a career-high 21 against Texas Tech that Oakland turnover was the first live ball turnover and there’s Ben middle Brooks’s uncle Danny canel who works with us at CBS Sports and CBS Sports HQ played golf with him last year how about that two years ago let me guess he took your money he’s a good golf I wasn’t getting enough shots Middlebrooks is finally in the scoring column 4237 they’ve been going to Townson on a regular basis here here because GOI can’t get open it did take diara out with three fouls now what a job n state has done defensively against goke but Townsen has picked up the slack Townsen looking for more and a foul is called you know give Greg campy credit tonight can’t get it to Goki getting it into the some confusion about whose ball it is but the foul was on Middlebrook so it is Oakland basketball they’re really being physical with goon too but this kid’s trying to go to work oh charge against Townsen too strong Middlebrooks draws [Applause] it yeah middle Brooks does a good job moving his feet yeah that’s a charge yeah I mean that’s clearly that’s an easy [Applause] one each team with three turnovers winner advances to Dallas to take on either Colorado or Marquette Burns great look extra pass Morel three burns the offensive rebound they got to get that right shoulder they double him and he coughs it up lman up ahead of the Gokey trailing Gokey alone Gokey for three it’s gone he was scoreless in his last 10 minutes but his parents on their feet that’s the most open he was in two games in transition off of Steel Lisa and David GOI among those who are fired up in this Arena you know he had a layup there that’s why he do a do him on the layup Line Andrew cuz he don’t take layups two-point game a spin move by morcel comes up short goie the rebound they bet morcel better find him quick oh they switch good switch there a really good switch there they switched twice that time OK Connell and Horn switched onto him they’re on high alert with that kid believe me as they should be yes eight to shoot [Applause] here’s Lampman with three Lampman puts one up tough shot good defense Again by the wolf pack that’s when you got to get it the Townson wow and a turnover and Kevin Keats looks at Michael oconnell so good did not have a turnover in 37 minutes against Texas Tech on Thursday and only NC State’s fourth turnover fifth turnover of the game [Applause] comes out and Jaden Taylor returns rocket wat and Rocket Watts back on the floor do you think NC State is showing any signs of fatigue no I don’t [Applause] okay Gokey for the lead and the rebound to Cole right back inside and Townsen ties it it’s an 8-1 run poked Away by Cole horn Dives to the ground tipped the round and way Middlebrooks fighting for it that should be a foul on Middlebrooks I don’t think they called one i a tie up think they should have called a foul there he Dove on top of them it is a tie up and it’s NC State basketball you take a look here they made a point of emphasis on this watch this supposedly you’re not supposed to be able to do that I don’t know if Jean would agree with me on that right there I don’t know well with the tie up going to NC State there’s only 16 seconds on the shot clock and you know Horn’s got to play the point now not that he can’t but that’s not where he’s most comfortable and Rocket watts is called for the foul Well jean terator telling us he thinks that it was a good call on the floor this is the first time you and Jean have ever disagreed about got to happen some point you guys are always in sync Cole commits his second foul NC State without a field goal in the last three minutes and 45 seconds the one they got was in transition the three for more cell in the half court they’re not scoring now oh there he comes going after that shoulder Burns and one and he is locked in with a chance at a three-point play yeah that time they let him go Baseline and he’s so big and strong once he gets that close to the basket pretty tough to [Applause] stop we ask Kevin Keat about DJ Burns as a personality and he said he’s got a huge heart after games he’s dancing with kids signing autographs also visits children’s hospitals in the Raleigh area he is a fan favorite and he is playing well he’s got 13 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] points middle Brooks in town Goki he was open he’ll take this one and the follow is loose oh conell is out of bounds he should have let that go I think that was going to be off thousand I agree and a time out 1159 to go good job by Ray how about DJ horn Steve he’s got scoreless the last 212 minutes yeah he started off on fire but he’s been struggling to get a look lately they really are looking for talented a lot now wats at the free throw line lost it Taylor saves it to Burns you know it was one of the few times that Goki was not moving a lot on that possession standing around a little bit which he doesn’t do Taylor three and the rebound to townzen who’s now three rebounds away from a double double in his third consecutive game kouki’s got to start moving a little bit more like he was doing the other night we asked him if he got tired playing 36 minutes on Thursday and he said no I want to play all 40 Conway a three oh wow just his third of the year and we’re tied at 45 he took that one in the first I was like I don’t know if that was well he made this one he is now three for 16 in his career only happens in the NCA tournament this month this month they got to get to this guy quick triple team him he’s able to pass out of it to morcel who hits a big shot second triple for Casey morcel what a great pass three assists for DJ Burns [Applause] Goki breaks free fakes the shot now he’ll put it up and he doesn’t get the big bounce GOI is now four of 11 from [Music] deep okell wide open it’s pure when the game speeds up bad things happen to Oakland [Applause] six straight points for the wolf pack Townsen he’s been the offense here in the second half got to be a foul and it is foul was on Middlebrooks that’s his fourth so diara comes back in with three as towns in misfires gets his own Miss puts it up and everyone on the Oakland side wanted a foul [Applause] [Music] [Applause] wear with the three fouls now seven on the shot clock Taylor much more active tonight than Thursday but this one is off to the left Go’s got to get a look somewhere he hasn’t been able to morcel has played incredible defense Townsen he’s capable and he hits [Applause] it his mom Nicole loving it you know you worry about him inside they left him 19 points 10 rebounds third straight double double for Townsen eight and 1 half to go Burns there comes the double Burns High arcing shot how about it he got to the right shoulder again they let him spin that way and he got to the [Applause] shoulder approaching immediate time out both teams could use [Applause] [Music] it towns in turnaround how about it with 21 and you know what’s helping the fact that they’re face guarding Goki is opens things up a little bit more they’re not playing normal Health defense Townsen has 15 points this half 21 for the game morcel and Goki the rebound had it knocked away it’ll be NC State ball okono was able to poke it free and at last NC State grad and new Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson riding into the arena to watch his alma mater Russell Wilson and Justin Fields the new quarterback room here in Pittsburgh Taylor’s three no good and the rebound to [Applause] Cole the usage through Townsen has been off the charts in the second half he’s touching the ball every possession and they’re not going to double him cuz they can’t leave Goki he’s on the same side touches it here out to lampin right back inside Townsen this time it won’t go and DJ burns the rebound over to Evan Greg camping that last huddle said we’ve got them right where we want them they’re tired their shots are starting to go flat three stops he said three stops we take the lead and we win this game and reiterated guys they feel most comfortable in close games he said that the other night against Kentucky as well and they won by four corner three is good for diara you know one thing he wanted to challenge them from three and so far NC State they’ve been up to the task from the three-point line 35% for three higher than their season average a good seven of them Gokey trying to answer he’s B to three I don’t think he I don’t think he touched him a chance at four for go key you take a look at this I think oconnell backed away now I want to see the [Applause] replay I don’t think he touched [Applause] them here’s where you can really see it oh he grazed he put He grazed his arm so goki’s at the line he’s a native of puke Wisconsin which is also the same Hometown as the Watts and our CBS Sports colleague JJ Watt is in London right now but he put a video out that he is staying up in the middle of the night to watch puk’s own Jack Goki who just made NCAA tournament history 15 threes in his first two career games it’s almost 1:00 a.m. in London JJ hope you’re enjoying Morel in the paint eight to shoot Horn’s been quiet horn turns it over that particular defensive stand by Oakland they were so aggressive out of that zone and forced that [Applause] [Applause] turnover open is still not LED in this game tonight great defense by morcel goal key goes to get it morcel is playing outstanding tonight on the defensive end you don’t want to get stuck in that corner Townsen finds Cole for the lead it won’t go ok conell with the [Applause] rebound packed house here in Pittsburgh and Kevin Keats calls timeout out of the NC State timeout approaching 5 minutes to go great defense they rotated really good on that dis possession shot clock at three okono catching shoot big shot Michael okono with a three and it all started with a shot fake Oakland leaving their feet and they reverse the ball and he’s wide open three threes tonight for okono he’s got nine points after he was held scoreless against Texas Tech [Applause] diara on Townsen with five on the shot clock Townsen a three wow pure second triple for townzen he had 10 threes all year with his dad taking pictures he’s got two threes [Applause] tonight this Zone has been much more active the last few minutes oconnell to diara Morel left alone burns the offensive rebound and he’s fouled and the NC State fans love it yeah Lampman couldn’t get him out he was trying DJ Burns at the free throw line where he’s one of one tonight over his last 14 games he’s a 78% free throw shooter love movies for movies two out of two for DJ and it’s a four-point game just inside four minutes to go and here comes some pressure from NC State Oakland has made four of its last six three-point [Applause] attempts they’ve got to make sure they start getting out to those corners or they may have to change defenses goal key oh what a shot fake and buries it the shot fake three threes off shot fakes his 63 of the night it’s a one-point [Applause] game Burns wants it he’s got Conway on him burns with five on the shot clock okono left wide open and the rebounds are GOI golden Grizzly still looking for their first lead of the night you got to get it to Townsen on the Block GOI hasn’t been able to get the ball in a half court at all hsen on the Block and the foul and Oakland has its first lead well first Ki makes a three shot fake gets him up just a little bit knocks it out and then they do what they need to do which is get the ball into Townsen in the half court cuz GOI shots aren’t really not able to get any in the half court and this kid has been tough on that block 27 points for Trey Townsen and diara picks up his fourth foul as Oakland is trying to move on to the Sweet 16 in Dallas 249 on the clock a two-point Golden Grizzlies lead and it’s been a lot of it’s been on the back of Trey Townsen goki’s done his part but them putting all that attention on Townsen I think opens up the all that attention on gouki opens up the floor for other people diara is out there with four fouls Burns tribes in Burns is fouled they let him get to his left hand they had him bottled up then they let him get to that left once he’s going that way he’s really tough Cole is called for the foul his second burns with 17 tonight Kevin Keats told us yesterday that DJ Burns is his closer Lon games this is where DJ Burns does his finest work now they’re discussing if it’s two shots or a foul on the floor I thought it was on the floor they’re giving him [Applause] two winner will see Colorado or Marquette in Dallas on Friday in the sweet 16 one out of two for DJ well you know where Oakland’s got to go with this one number [Applause] four he’s setting the back screen is going to be open on the ducking they love this isolation play right there on the elbow diara with four fouls Townsen over him off the front of the rim Townsen grabs it back out to goal keyel got there fast [Applause] Greg campy calling out of play from the Oakland bench now he’s going to go one-on-one from that elbow and a foul is called as morcel clipped goal key running through a screen and a one and one for Oakland it would be the fourth straight year A Team seated 14th or lower Advanced to the Sweet 16 Oral Roberts in 2021 St Peters 2 years ago and Princeton last year and interesting Oakland has nobody on the foul line here with 2 minutes and 6 seconds to go Dave and Lisa Goki Jack’s parents with one more free throw one out of two for Goki a two-point game well you know they’re going to go in to DJ if they can d J Burns that [Applause] is they’re all matched up perfectly now and give it to him morcel cuts off the feed and a foul what a great pass by DJ Burns yeah it was a great pass and it was a great cut by morcel he saw the double he saw Lampman was no longer in the middle of the floor where he’s been for a lot of this game so he cuts boy I’m surprised he didn’t finish that one he is too Kevin Keat said that when DJ Burns draws the double his eyes light up he’s such a good passer he knows he can take advantage moreel an 80% free throw shooter [Applause] one out of two and Ben Middlebrooks is going to come back in with four fouls replacing diara who has four fouls I mean diar is Big middle Brook’s a little bigger maybe they want a couple of big guys in the game CU they know they’re going to Townson each team with two timeouts remaining [Applause] towns in on the Block middle Brooks is there to the corner Lampman for three way off and middle Brooks grabs it boy I thought towns was going to shoot that one he was right on the box and a timeout called by Kevin Keats 117 to play Oakland A one-point lead 117 to go well you you know where they’re going with this the question is how’s Oakland going to play him they’re going to double him and who’s going to be alone outside for DJ Burns to hit Oakland thrives in close games can they pull one out here in Pittsburgh Burns there’s the double and they took away that right shoulder that time very well is not a good offensive set here for H state okell with five on the shot clock okell drives right in draws the bou and it goes what a clutch Bucket from Michael oconnell the the end of the shot clock defense was scrambling that was a great defensive set but once Lampman got beat off the dribble against that zone there was no help Townson comes really late and he gets a layup okono a top 100 recruit in Lacrosse and basketball he originally committed to Maryland to play lacrosse decided to go to Stanford for basketball and transfer here to NC State and he puts the wolf pack up by two made a pretty big shot against Virginia the other day to force overtime in the ACC tournament Bui was held Morel commits the foul that’s going to send goal key to the free throw line still one and [Applause] one we’ve been talking about this all night seventh game in 12 days for NC State you’ve said that you haven’t seen fatigue this these are the moments where you think about that a lot I mean every one of those games they played better in the second half it’s an amazing thing and and they’re playing Seven guys again nobody to rebound for Oakland yeah I mean I would have two guys in there not in case the ball comes loose yeah you don’t want to foul in this situation but you got to have two guys in there I think just standing around until somebody fumbles a ball so you’re there to get Gokey ties it all right now they just we got a tie game Andy States got to use the entire well they’re going to call timeout here there’s an 11 second difference between the game call biting time in Pittsburgh a spot in this sweet 16 is on the line NC State just used its final timeout the possession arrow does favor Oakland if there’s a tieup Andrew you don’t have to have coach for 40 seven years to know where this ball is going I everybody in the building knows it’s going to DJ burns the one guy you got to stay home on is DJ horn cuz he’s a tremendous three-point shooter they got to put it in Burns’s hands he gets fouled but they Oakland’s got to take away that right shoulder make him go the other way and get a rebound they’re going to get a last shot 12.3 second differential between the shot clock and the game clock we just told you DJ burns the closer in Kevin keats’s words they got to make sure that they get in front of him and don’t let him make an easy catch Cole got a hand on it burns still makes the catch out to morcel now okell burns with 10 Burns goes up Burns misses towns in the rebound they got to get the last shot of the game you start going with 8 seconds to go and Greg campy calls timeout [Applause] that was a great defensive set by Oakland down there he got to think here one of the plays that’s gotten towns in the ball it can will do one of two things either he’s going to go one-on-one from the elbow where they clear it out or they’re going to set a low exchange screen for him on the box where he comes across to the other box and they throw it into him in the post that is what’s going to happen here I would bet one of those two both for Townson and you think about this moment for Greg campy in his 40th year coaching Oakland the longest active tenur head coach we asked him if when he was hired in 1984 if he ever could have imagined being here 40 years he said are you crazy it’s unbelievable the one thing they have to watch is they don’t want to do it too soon because they don’t want to miss and have NC State half time they want to do it with they want to get the ball to talented with about 4 seconds to go so they have enough time to get a rebound and not enough time for NC State to go the other way Oakland does have one timeout left and there’s 13.5 on the clock campy just went over to confirm he has one time out remaining and you got to think enie state is going to put a lot of pressure on this inbounds a lot [Applause] it’ll be goal key to inbound tied at 66 yeah they’re going to run the play where they get townsed on the box Watts with 8 seconds Conway comes up to get it 4 seconds left and Conway turns it over oh now they’re going to take a look and they’re going to say well no call on the court yet I thought the official said it was deflected that it was deflected let’s see if diara got a hand on it there was a call on the court that it’s NC State basketball and yet Raiden Tilly did one of these on his hand where he’s saying I think it hit his pinky I think it did watch the pinky of diara wow well the arena thinks it’s go Oakland’s ball that’s for sure let’s say it is Oakland’s ball do you have time to go into Townsen you have time but you got to run a you got to run a low exchange to him as soon as he K’s got to go with it you have time now for one dribble quick dribble and a shot one quick dribble and a [Applause] shot looks like they are close to making a decision one more [Applause] look crazy the ball ended up in con yeah that was a bad set you know again you’re 100% right ended up in the exact wrong guy’s hands they also have to look to see how much time exactly was on the clock when the ball went out of bounds another second would make a huge difference go key is indicating it’s Oakland basketball see if we can see the clock up top yeah maybe oh they’re going to get a little more Jean stator how do you see this I agree I think this ball is off of Oakland I think he has it right at the end uh and I think they’re looking at the time as well fellas I did not get a chance to revisit the time but to me it just held on to that finger right after it passed through the player of North Carolina State’s hand I think there was still a piece of the Oakland player hand on the basketball after the NC State ball hold on hold on they’re stopping it again Greg campy can’t believe it wow I would have somebody on the ball here I would not let oconnell just throw this ball into the front Court oconnell to Morel from midcourt for the win almost he almost got it and put five more minutes on the clock in Pittsburgh Oakland 66 NC State 66 as Morel came so close wow I’m surprised they settled to throw the ball in there to be honest with not flash somebody a little bit on the half court side but hey sound like a broken record but seventh game in 12 days and another 5 minutes for NC State who’s been on a magical run won five games in five days to win the ACC Championship their first ACC tournament Championship since 1987 they have enough left in the tank to hold off the Golden Grizzlies you know I think the big thing for them is don’t go down five or six I think then maybe the legs may go as long as they this game stays close or they stay ahead they’re going to beine these kids this is the eighth overtime game NC state has played in the NCAA tournament tied for the 10th most all time Oakland in its first overtime Tournament game think about the fouls as well diara and middle Brooks have four a piece middle Brooks who’s on the floor right now Cole for three and burns gets it over to Horn over to Evan guys I’ve been checking in on that NC State huddle to see about the fatigue no added treatment no extra attention all you’re hearing is Championship defense we’ve been here before morcel turn around too strong middle Brooks traps it down you got all hustle yeah open’s got to make sure oh good steal there Cole picked the pocket of burns they have really been surrounding Burns a lot and doing it well lately they like this with towns and going oneon-one from That Elbow there oh he’s FY goky for three no good and Horn knocks it out of bounds that was a great look for [Applause] Goki you can see horn over Cole and it’s Oakland basketball rocket Watts comes out and Blake Lampman is back on the floor [Applause] oh going to be a turnover wow oh wow say it was deflected I thought Kevin ke not happy yeah I don’t know about that that was off toalson and now a foul is called that was Kevin Keat can’t believe it I can’t believe it it was right point right here look who hits this who touches there’s nobody there’s nobody even close to him oh my goodness wow there’s no nobody close to him that’s incredible and it was the fifth foul on midbrook fouled out of the game that is a huge [Applause] goal diara comes back in he’s got four fouls townsman has not come out tonight and he makes the free throw [Applause] his dad ski as we’ve told you a credential photographer as his Sun Goes one out of two 28 points 12 rebounds for the Horizon League Player of the [Applause] Year oconnell horn has been quiet can he get it going here no good towns in and it was last touch [Applause] they’re calling it Oakland basketball and now they’re going to huddle up and is Oakland ball they were pretty strong with that [Applause] one I don’t know about that [Applause] one DJ horn has not scored in the last 38 minutes NC State’s leading scorer averaging just under 17 a game there is where they want town with the ball he’s got it the O I thought he I thought he put his arms down I thought it should have been a foul on diar would have been his fifth horn great dish to Burns NC State wanted a foul on that one they didn’t get it but they do have a one-point lead the dribble penetration against the zone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] townsman in the paint Burns and diara all over him to goes up missed knocked out of bounds to Oakland everybody left him alone he was they thought he was going to kick the ball out everybody left him and he missed a little [Applause] one he was surrounded here looked like he was going to pass it out everybody left and Goki can’t get open Morel has locked him up can’t get a touch now he’s out and that’s diar’s fifth I don’t think Kevin Keats has enjoyed this overtime so far and now he’s going to have to put somebody in the game well he got he’s going to go small he’ll go with Jaden Taylor I’m sure that’s a foul yeah I don’t think he’s really going to have a choice but to go small oh no yeah he’s got to go Jaden Taylor at least to have a guy in there that’s a a [Applause] regular you know this does it hurts them defensively it can help him offensively to have another perimeter player in against that zone another ball handler and another guy who’s a good three-point [Applause] shooter Jean stator telling us they made the right call on that deflection never had [Applause] possession Townson gets it done at the line 225 to go there’s the foul trouble for the wolf pack [Applause] 6968 Taylor for three it’s sword burs is there to clean it up yeah somebody had to be aware of Burns and put a body on him there he was all by himself 22 points nine rebounds for DJ Burns [Applause] great defense by horn and out of bounds was Townsen DJ horn affected that play on the defensive end and it’s NC State basketball yeah good defense I’ll tell you what on the defensive end they don’t look tired to [Applause] me transer let’s go Wolfpack horn shot fake jumper is good and finally for DJ horn well they called on something they called a foul on ncy state they did they’re counting the basket but a foul against the wolf pack which will be free throws for Oakland that was horns first points in 40 minutes as DJ Burns commits the foul oh yeah that I think they should look at that Lampman is at the line mean that he was kind of could have been a flavor one at least worth looking at I think and you talk about nerves Blake Lampman had missed three free throws all year missed the first makes the second [Applause] final 90 seconds in Pittsburgh of this first [Applause] overtime Conway all over burns the pass to teror Big Shot that’s exactly what you said La they’ll lose something on the defensive end with diara out but maybe they gained something offensively yeah they spread him out a little bit more he’s another three-point shoot and he made a big shot GOI for the answer it’s no good Townsen tries to save it he could not out of bounds to NC States well they’re going to have to they they can go one more possession without fouling but you know as always Burns kicking it out for another assist in this game probably that guy in the corner Lampman should not have attacked the post because he had a guy in his corner too easy Oakland is over for five and [Applause] overtime they just have to make sure they get a stop and a rebound [Applause] here horn with five and a foul with a shot clock at four and Greg campy tosses his play sheet to the ground that’s what you exactly you didn’t want to do you could I wanted them you’re down five you get the ball back with 30 seconds to go you score you’re down three or down two they didn’t have to foul there and shouldn’t have and certainly shouldn’t have done it with 4 seconds to go so now DJ horn at the free throw line trying to add to this Wolfpack lead an 81% free throw shooter and a chance to make it a threep possession game [Applause] and he does a 9-1 run goal key comes to get it puts up a three off the front of the rim offensive rebound Watts a triple no good Burns has the rebound and he’s fouled and the Wolfpack fans can start to taste it here in Pittsburgh what a run for these guys it’s unbelievable we said it Thursday but the seat was warm for Kevin Keats going into the ACC AC C tournament just two C’s they win five times in five days get into the tournament and now 17 seconds away from the sweet 16 the only other time a team won five games in five days was Yukon in 2011 and they went on to win the national championship [Applause] just don’t want to foul here Cole hits a three and Greg campy will call timeout with 14 seconds [Music] left what a night for DJ Burns 24 points 10 rebounds and four assists this is what he did all last week week in the ACC tournament he dominated the game and you got to give Kevin Keats a tremendous amount of credit they got him the ball the entire game they don’t deviate from what they want he told us what they were going to do and they did [Applause] it just the second double double of the year for DJ Burns NC State on the verge of moving on to Dallas against either Colorado or Marquette [Music] Burns has scored six points in [Music] overtime the last time NC State went to the Sweet 16 was n years ago they lost to Louisville when they did that the first two rounds of the tournament were here in Pittsburgh history about to repeat itself unless Greg campy’s Club can pull out a miraculous comeback with just 14 seconds left now NC State can run the Baseline cuz it was after a made basket just got to get the ball in bounds obviously the Golden Grizzlies are going to press and try to force a 5sec and then foul oh that’s a it’s that is Off Taylor 12.4 goal key who was out for that possession will come back in that’s a great job by Townsen there knocking it off Jaden Taylor’s [Applause] leg it’s going to be Cole to inbound and Lampman who’s a 36% three-point shooter comes in as well for Cole so now Lampman will toss it [Applause] in panway goal key fakes the three now puts it up no good rebound Burns over to Taylor 5 seconds left up ahead oconnell with two and the wolf pack a riding this wave all the way to the Sweet 16 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]

@34:09 Don't like the floppers, Middlebroke!
@38:43 How do refs deal with big guys that simply move an established defender out of the way w/ brute force? Both teams guilty, in this case, and arguably Shaq Attaq is the clearest example from the 90s, … am I just confused how indispensable is establishing a position? I thought it was a foundational concept in both basketball & int'l futbol.
IMO this is my favorite game of the tourney, like a Cinderella Finals.
@53:31 isn't that a foul on Conway? Shuffling his feet as a screen and then poking out the skinny derriere.
Every NC State player deserves a piece of the Player of the Game. Excellent team. A pleasure to watch.
