>> mike h.: about read ary to start the second half here. before we do let's take a look at our united states marine corps leaders of the game. tracy smith leading all scorers with 14. scott wood hit two threes early but then wasn't heard from much the rest of the half. javier gonzalez with five points. brandon evans leading unc greensboro with eight. kyle randall with six points. sidney lowe talking to his team. trying to find the magic that they had early in the first half because they sure lost it in the last five or six minutes as unc greensboro made a great comeback. >> mike g.: and i love the energy that korey van dussen brought out there. i thought that was a big spark for them. defensively their zone was very active. nc state had a lot of problems with it. >> mike h.: we'll remind you for unc greensboro, two key players, mikko koivisto and pete brown

are not available tonight. give uncg even more credit for what they've done hanging close here with nc state. spartans with just two wins on this season and nine losses. and, again, this is their fifth acc team that they have played. they'll play six in all. they play maryland on sunday. >> mike g.: what they should have done, they should have started pete brown and have him go across on tracy smith for a couple of possessions and then go back out see if that would have helped. >> mike h.: you're cruel. spartans with the first possession here in the second half. here's stywall, who does not have a field goal in the game. cole the true freshman who got his first start ever tonight. here comes gonzalez. the feed to horner.

and, again, smith almost had another offensive rebound and putback. van dussen, he traveled. almost every time you see that little hesitation, a travel is going to be called. ten turnovers for the spartans. >> mike g.: you just have to come to a complete stop on that. then going to do a little hesitation dribble, that's fine. >> mike h.: gonzalez hit a big three towards the end of the half. there's a big bucket by dennis horner. that's horner's first field goal tonight. >> mike g.: talk about he has been really consistent just under 14 points. 18th in this conference in scoring. that was under duress too. stywall did a nice job guesting a hand up on the shot. >> mike h.: wood is going to be whistled for the foul.

his second. >> mike g.: one thing too with scott wood that the nc state coaching staff has been impressed with he's been a lot better defender than they ever thought he was going to be. just got locked up. brandon evans, a little too quick for him off the bounce. >> mike h.: here's cole. javier gonzalez picks his pocket. on the break gonzalez. >> mike g.: when you're a center and you put it on the deck 15 feet from the basket, you're inviting somebody to come in and make the steal. >> mike h.: especially somebody as quick as javier gonzalez. the block by smith. that's his second block of the game on the drive by kyle randall. >> mike g.: here's javy gonzalez getting the ball and immediately looking up trying to survey the situation, seeing where everybody is. decides, i'll just finish this one off myself. called the old one play. >> mike h.: a true point guard. he was looking at all his options. his was the best.

here's evans. wood is right on him. inside to stywall. still without a field goal. brian cole has got six points. >> mike g.: that was a nice flip of the screen that time by stywall. it's frustrating when you're having those evenings those are the type of shots that seem to rim out. you can't find any rhythm offensively. >> mike h.: cole has not scored in double figures this year. van dussen got a hand in and knocked it away. >> mike g.: you see evans calling foor it. the quick slip before he ever gets there. nice delivery, just couldn't finish. and cole really bailed him out. >> mike h.: cole getting his first start going against tracy smith. i think he's played pretty paralegal. van dussen almost came up with the steal. a great pass right past the shot

clock. the bucket counts. >> mike g.: a lot of times a player will rush the shot, anticipating the clock. that time smith made his usual stroke and finished the play. >> mike h.: and another turnover. this by ran done evans. >> mike g.: here's the play. normally, he gets a hand on it. it's a play that horner normally would have taken the shot on. unfortunately, there was just enough time to make the pass. ú/@?v >> mike h.: horner. gonzalez. wood can't hit that three. again, he hits two early. @a[@i@túnhugéúí7éwépóhgúkogk#úui:@bbl@d@uúpipú 998q mvhvl70b@v0&úlúlj, ke@@@lb4a'o[d0n0j0j@l0k0n dj0j@n@j0.0,b$0hljhnhé@ vñ«yzwçsçrç÷swç0

>> mike g.: the one thing about cole, he is not bashful in giving himself a chance to score. he will put the ball up. @; i like that in a play. qpsqpp@p @@pp" jt@ #p&7@+"8&(;8&8ú ú (@%u áúp @ it's like a poke play. take your shot, big fella. úiyd >> mike h.: wood for three again. this time he hits it. three threes for scott wood. he's got nine points. >> mike g.: that's a nice cross-court look too. that's a great way to get a three-point shooter a nice open look. the defense can't react that quickly. >> mike h.: g-man, you saw wood with the season high 11 in the loss to wake forest. and smith called for the foul, his first. check that. that's his second personal foul. wd9núpp [çf %poxv@t saw tracy smith a moment ago. he had a shot right at the shot clock buzzer.

he had a shot at the buzzer to beat auburn earlier this year. heck of a time for the spartans. they need offense. here's cole. he's been giving it to him, not that time. stywall lost it out of bounds. unc greensboro has no threes in this game. you can't say the same about state. scott wood's got three of them.

>> mike h.: nc state 41, unc greensboro, 32. at the start of the first half, spartans have three turnovers nc state has none. i think you can say that might be the difference. >> mike g.: that's exactly how the game started which built the hole for unc greensboro. against this competition you can't do that, especially at home. you have to give yourself some shots at every opportunity. >> mike h.: here are the two guys we talked about at the beginning of the broadcast. tracy smith having a pretty good

night. ben stywall does not have a field goal but he has been rebounding well is the good news in the second half. he's now got six rebounds. >> mike g.: the thing is you look at the difference in field goal attempts. smith has got 11 attempts and stywall only 2. all of his attempts are coming at the free-throw line. he's not even getting touches. >> mike h.: gonzalez trying to look inside to smith. the foul is going to be called on cole. that's a tough defensive assignment for brian cole. true freshman in there trying to guard tracy smith. >> mike g.: smith did a great job defending him on the back side. cole is trying to readjust in front. he couldn't get over the top. he had to hold. >> mike h.: dennis horner, held without a field goal in the first half. he's got two here in the second. the senior. had a good game tuesday night in the win over winthrop.

cole offensive board and one! brian cole is having a career game tonight here against nc state. he's in double figures for the first time in his career and he'll go to the line. >> mike g.: mike, when your man leaves to block a shot, you follow right to the rim. tracy smith goes up for the tip. cole comes right in behind him. no one there to pick him up. he finishes and has a chance for a three-point play. >> mike h.: third personal foul on scott wood as cole the freshman out of georgia goes to the line. he's only been to the line eight times this year, 5 for 8. his minutes obviously have gone way up. playing a lot of minutes tonight. he's averaged 18 minutes a game over the last three games. >> mike g.: going to give him confidence going into southern hc conference play. >> mike h.: just into the game. smith tried to put it back.

stywall down with his seventh rebound. here's van dussen. @x> mike g.: that was a little bit of a frustration shot. i think he's getting $ frustrated getting hammered inside and not getting any touches. i wouldn't be surpriseded to see him step out a little bit more and shoot that 15-foot jump shot. >> mike h.: nc state had an 11-point lead a moment ago. uncg fought back in the first half, tried to do it here in the second. really changed up their defensive look a lot tonight. inside, what a pass. what a pass. c.j. williams on the receiving end. >> mike g.: javy gonzalez has really made a lot of strides at the point guard. there's still one or two turnovers he gets a game they would like to see him eliminate, but he's come a long way from his freshman year, where he's

thrown into the fire maybe a little too quickly and is able to come back from that. >> mike h.: top five in the assist category in the acc. there's van dussen. >> mike g.: first three for them for the game. >> mike h.: and they needed it badly. inside horner. and looks like cole will pick up the foul his second. javier gonzalez has developed himself into quite a point guard. >> mike g.: the key thing is, mike, you've got to give the ball to the guy where he can immediately do something and score with it. rather than take a dribble or two, that was a great delivery. all williams had to do was finish the deal with his left hand. >> mike h.: and he's really good at that no look pass. you see all the great points guards have. he'll get a break right now as mays is in. also farnold degand is in.

>> mike g.: the thing i like about horner he really didn't force his offense. you talk about all of these points calming in the second half. now you know the guys have scored. he's going to let it come to him. as a senior you know he's going to step up and lead here in the last 20 minutes. >> mike h.: so horner leading the way for nc state here in this second half. spartans with a turnover they can ill afford right now. >> mike g.: caught him in the nose going down. >> mike h.: and a block by the freshman! >> mike g.: josh davis trying to force something that wasn't there and then compounds the mistake of the foul on the other end, trying to come up with the ball. >> mike h.: that's his first personal foul on josh davis. >> mike g.: there's the look. you see him. he gets the fumble with the dribble, and cole does a nice job of pinning him underneath

the glass, not giving him any kind of angle to finish the play. >> mike h.: his previous season high in scoring, nine against the college of charleston. brian cole's got ten tonight. he's getting a much deserved break right now. >> mike g.: raring out to bobby cremons and the cougars, huh? >> mike h.: i don't know. charleston beat uncg in what was a great game. >> mike g.: they're 3-0 in conference now. former colleague getting it done down in charleston. >> mike h.: our former colleague down at fox sports you're right. 67-64, the final in that game, charleston winning. horner, nice pass by the senior. deshawn painter, a freshman. can't hit it. nc state giving unc greensboro all kinds of opportunities. stywall misses. here's warner on the break.

nothing van dussen can do except to foul it. is that a goaltending call. >> mike g.: it was up on the backboard. that's one you've just got to leave alone. he had no chance of going down. >> mike h.: let's talk about it now. dennis horner back where you see right there. 105 games. that's about 45 more than anybody else on the team. he's by far the most experienced. >> mike g.: that's more than twice as anybody else on this team. but horner had only started 11 games prior to this season. really developed into a leader. played the starter minutes, averaging 30 minutes a game.

>> mike h.: davis is going to be whistled for a foul on toney with

>> mike h.: welcome back to the greensboro coliseum on our hon day of carolina scoreboard. dennis horner, eight points in the second half. our toyota trivia question. who is the acc career leader in assist to turnover ratio? that's a lot of years to think back. >> mike g.: i know who it isn't. it's not me. >> mike h.: i wasn't even going to come close to guessing you. >> mike g.: i did speak out one assist a game. i don't know how. >> mike h.: stywall fights hard inside. as the spartans are staying alive.

>> mike g.: i think that kyle randall right now feels like he's got an ability to get into julius mays a little bit more than javy gonzalez. >> mike h.: mays, the sophomore, into the state lineup with along with richard howell, the freshman from marietta, georgia. >> mike g.: shows you how active the defense is for the spartans. good work with the hands out on the perimeter. >> mike h.: state has led by as many as 11 here in this second half. >> mike g.: see the look on tracy smith's face. a little frustrated now. really clogging things up for him. finding it tougher to get entry passes. >> mike h.: cole in the paint. over smith. stywall now with 11 rebounds.

and a big offensive one there. he's a field goal away from a double double. and then got it. >> mike g.: i went with it. not too long ago, we were talking about him being out of this game. he'd been rebounding the whole game. now all of a sudden he's found his shooting stroke just at the right time. >> mike h.: 10 points and 11 rebounds for ben stywall. he has come to life. josh davis' first point. that is a two. freshman out of raleigh. for stywall, that's his 16th career double double for the senior. turnover. here comes farnold degand gets van dussen. good defense by korey van dussen, the freshman. on the line, it will belong to nc state.

>> mike g.: van dussen did a terrific job of making degand go sideways away from the basket and missed that play. then was unable to come up with the basketball right here dribbling in on the baseline. >> mike h.: and horner answers. >> mike g.: he's been good in the second half. >> mike h.: ten points. he's the reason nc state is up by ten. you know we often see in this league players improve from their freshman to senior year. this horner has really come a long way from his freshman season. story is still turnovers. uncg has really turned it over seven times in the second half state none. mays picked up a foul, his second. >> mike g.: when you take away

the points off turnovers for nc state, and this is a very manageable game. just allotted 19 points off of those turnovers. that puts the spartans putting a lot of pressure on themselves and their offense. xq> mike h.: evans had it blocked, got it back. not that time. smith was all over it. wood horner. pass a little awry for scott wood. (ejerd$ wood opened for three. has been dangerous. scott wood now with four three-pointers here in the game tonight. mike dement is going to take a time-out. the freshman from marion indiana. he's been playing well late so my uncle calls and he says he's dizzy and he's losing his balance. so, i'm like, "unc, you want me to take you to a doctor?" he's like, "nah--i'm going to look up the symptoms." i said your symptoms are, you're dizzy and you're losing your balance. so he says, "i can't get on the internet because my arm is numb." i said, "well, use your good arm and dial 911!"

comedian: stroke's no joke. if you or someone you love is showing symptoms of stroke don't wait 'cause it might be too late. dial 911. time lost is brain lost. this financial advisor is being accused of committing one of the largest investment frauds in the history of the united states. guess we're not going to aspen. that's fine. you see, i like tennis balls. he likes insider trading. so he's going to jail and i'm going to a shelter. and no, they're not the same thing. shelters are for good pets that want to be adopted. jails are for criminals. i've done nothing--uh-oh. okay, i stole a cheeseburger once. i'm a dog.
