"We're a team that wants to run and score points," senior Nolan Smith said. "It's going to start with our defense. You can't score off of made baskets, [because] the other team is going to be back and set up. So we're going to want to pressure other teams, create steals, create bad shots. If we don't do that, we're going to end up being a half-court team, and that's not how this team is supposed to play."
This is exactly the stuff I keep talking about. It would be nice to see Sid talk about going up-tempo in specifics like Nolan Smith does here. It might actually inspire confidence in NC State's plans.
