Just from their results, I'm surprised VT is as high as they are in Massey (mid 30s). But NC State hasn't exactly been steamrolling the opposition, so I don't know quite what to expect here.

Cunane and Sheppard were both amazing in this game. Cunane just had a lot more help.

Mabrey went down with an apparent ankle injury late in 4Q. I don't think this affected the outcome, but it certainly didn't help VT's already dying chances.

ND could use Dara Mabry right now, she’s a fun player to watch.
