go away. >> and down to the line. driving it in now. and the runners, they could, for that line out there for the foul again quickly. and they trail it by four. leading the foul for them and 20 seconds to go. they filed up high once again. with the third foul, but again, that's what they needed to do for them there. and pye going back there, up by four. 21.4 seconds to go for them and a quick move for them. they didn't see very much out of her today. >> and she has great potential to get better for them every game. and a rear miss for them there today. >> and all opening up the door here for the two possession ball game for them to stay that way whether they make that way. and the five-point game for them right now. and quickly for them there it is. over to the track. and they couldn't get it. and they checked it around. foul on hofstra.

william mary. and they will get that foul right there with five seconds to go on the four-point tribe advantage for them on the other time out here. >> we love the scene. we are not seen a lot of her. and certainly, i have not seen a lot of her in person. but what a great play. she had the recognition at that time to find them wide open on the three-point line. even though that is not her players. she went out, she rotated. got a hand in her face. made a very difficult play for them. and for them over there. that's definitely what they needed to do. to make that shot there and right there for them

and really and all at this point. to see that there for them and really, to understand the plays for them at home, not too bad. but obviously the tough competitions for them here in the conference plays. this is the opening day. at the free throw line for them there. and two shots. obviously, they are over the limit for them on that scene and the foul. and the first one makes it a six-point lead for them that will be difficult. and to see 16.5 to go. seven point advantage for them. and three pointers but five. and to knock that out there and the lock is down by six to go. and to get

one early for them in the second half. and the loud will wrap and mary to creep that back in to get that confidence for them with this ball game there. and a big run and the 7-point lead now. this one, just about in the packs. >> scoreless in the first. and the five-point, not enough for them there. and evans, certainly with their work cut out and the performance. just not enough for them over 28 for them to go. >> will wrap and mary, knocked by hofstra. 55-48 the final score. and that had take a time-out. we'll take the time-out to wrap things up right after this. william and mary win their third straight over hofstra here at home. we're back in a moment.

and that's what it is all about.

welcome home, man. hofstra fallen to william and mary and now they are over the pride. ten thoughts on what they did to come back. down by nine points at half time. they turned up the heat defensively. extending -- extending the pressure, the side on the defensive standpoint to make yourself a factor. and 11 rebounds. and they hustled the plays on the floor to see one of the best young guys on the lead. and taysha pye took over the game with 20 points, 15 in the second half. a great all-around team performance. is >> great start to the conference play. and we'll see you down the road. that'll do it for us.

>> bob: welcome back to raleigh, everybody, as we get set for the start of the florida/nc state game. the gators have been introduced and now the wolf pack being introduced to this crowd here at the rbc center. the last time the gators played here was in the 2004 ncaa tournament. a first round loss to manhattan. a gator ball club that opened

its s.e.c. conference play in nashville against vanderbilt in the coming weeks. for the wolf pack of nc state, they have already gone 1-0 against an s.e.c. opponent. they knocked off auburn in daytona beach. and the wolf pack have another nonconference game before they get into acc play. this is the time of year, larry, where the bulk of your nonconference season has been completed. you're itching to go in conference play, though the wolf pack played one game already, losing at wake forest. the bulk of the conference season is ahead, and the special time of year when we move into conference play. >> larry: this is an important game for both clubs. it's going to give them an idea what it's going to look like going forward. we talked about it earlier, this time of year, everybody looks back on what the previous year was like. well, for coaches, they only look back to november, that's as far as they go. and coming forward, for both teams, played 13 games each, i think they have a pretty good idea of what it's going to be like going into conference play. they may have a few questions yet to be answered, but right

now, they've pretty much form lated what it's going to be like in conference play and nc state played one game against wake. florida yet to play one s.e.c. game. >> bob: the gators are playing their second true road game of the year. the other was in jacksonville. they won that one. billy don nonvan is in his 14th season as the head gator. his ball club comes in at ten wins and three defeats. as do the wolf pack. ten up and three down for sidney lowe, one of the great wolf pack players of all time and now in his fourth season coaching his alma mater. a veteran officiating crew to work this one in raleigh today. gary maxwell is working with tony green and roger ayers. the gators in their blue and orange, and the wolf pack in the home white. tracy smith will jump for the wolf pack. vernon macklin for florida.

and our tripleheader of acc sunday night hoops is under way. >> larry: good play by westerner to come up with that ball. keep an eye on walker with the ball. very, very quick. >> bob: nc state starts in the man. walker in the lane, and a whistle. he got hit in the head, as he made his way into the paint. >> larry: bob, you may see this particular setup, the way florida runs it. werner will move out to receive that ball. he is an excellent passer. walker made that curl coming around the elbow. he was wide open, and the defender was trailing him. you don't want to do that against this guy. >> bob: erving is a 78% free throw shooter this season. sophomore from brooklyn, new york, and christ the king high school. goes 0 for 2. here comes nc state for the

first time on offense. javy gonzalez at the point. >> larry: florida in two-three zone. they've been playing a lot of that this year. >> bob: and it will be a challenging defense for nc state to attack. the strength, as we mentioned, is in the middle and tracy smith. they look to get him the basketball. florida's got it pretty good. horner's shot is blocked by macklin. tyus opens the scoring for florida. >> larry: how about tyus bringing the ball back? he was determined to get that shot off. florida right back into their press. they will do a lot of this, too. man-to-man trap right now. nice job by gonzalez to get through it. >> bob: the gators fall back into that zone afternoon the gonzalez penetration. loose ball, smith hits the deck. and the gators come up with it.

boynton with horner trailing. the follow is good by macklin. >> larry: not a good start for north carolina state. they have to handle this press, otherwise, florida will keep coming at them. >> bob: horner for three. gators attacking. this is walker. boynton steps into a long three. >> larry: little bit of a rushed shot there. i'm not sure billy don nonvan wanted that. the guards for florida have not been shooting the ball well from the field here. >> bob: tracy smith with the contact, and an and one. you can see the value of smith on the block. >> larry: i talked about him being undersized on the block, but sidney lowe loves having him down there. good feed of the basketball, and nice move right there, the up and under move and again, tracy smith doing a very patented move. no one else ranked in the top four in both scoring and rebounding except this young man in the acc.

>> bob: and parsons coming in the game for florida. >> larry: billy don novan didn' wait very long to put parsons in there. >> bob: this is he, on the wing. defended by c.j. williams. >> larry: good pass. >> bob: ma'cklin. >> larry: that was a good look by boynton that time. he's averaging just under four assists a game. between he and walker, they are averaging nine assists a game. that's pretty good for passing guards. florida back into that two-three zone. how about parsons out top? hard to pass around him and down and over him. >> bob: smith's pass knocked out of bounds by dan werner. and you can see it's hard to get

the ball into smith's hands. >> larry: they know that, florida knows that. billy donovan described his situation well. bosh gonzalez drills one. averaging 11 points, six a game. javy typeses it six. >> bob: he's really picked up the scoring in the last three games, as well. >> bob: he's averaging just under 50 a game in the last four. boynton. shot clock at ten. parsons gets the high screen from murphy. and murphy, a beautiful big to big pick and roll. >> larry: wasn't that gorgeous? there wasn't a lot of move to get the pass through the defenders underneath there of north carolina state. good pass. parsons right there. >> bob: 8-9. and smith angles it up and in. >> larry: you ever see a 6 guy

moving so well understood beneath and go up against bigger guys and still score? >> bob: boynton. loose ball. boynton, another possession for the gators. the three-ball won't go. that one, by werner, and it's out of bounds. ray shipman coming in for florida, but first, a stoppage at 15:59 in the first half. the florida gators and nc state wolf pack under way in raleigh. they're running the men's room marathon. with lots of guys going over and over. and here's the dash to the men's room with lots of guys going urgently. and then there's the night game. waking up to go. these guys should be in a race to see their doctors. right. those could be urinary symptoms due to bph, an enlarged prostate. but for many guys, prescription flomax reduces

their urinary symptoms due to bph in one week. only your doctor can tell if you have bph, not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. when taking flomax, avoid driving or hazardous tasks until you know how flomax will affect you, as a sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, rarely resulting in fainting. tell your doctor about all medications you take. if considering cataract surgery, tell your eye surgeon you've taken flomax. common side effects are runny nose, dizziness and decrease in semen. ask your doctor if flomax is right for you. call 877-4-flomax to see if you qualify for up to $40 off new or refill prescriptions. for many men, flomax can make a difference

>> bob: eight apiece in raleigh, and time for today's playbook. it is brought to you by lexus. we're going to look at the scene and roll. >> larry: the tandem of two really good players for florida, watch eric murphy and parsons. murphy down underneath here.

once he makes the move up here and slips that screen, watch the pass by parsons down underneath. excellent play, and one that florida uses a lot. slip the screen, go down, and watch parsons with the bounce pass. he got the ball down inside and did it really well to make the pass inside against a couple of nc state defenders. >> bob: erving walker comes around smith and lets it go. rebound to the pack. horner coming up with that one. that pass is taken away by walker. gators with numbers. here's parsons, the fake, the pass -- and tyus is fouled. >> larry: that's two really good passes by chandler parsons. one on that pick and roll which we just showed you to murphy, and that time he got the ball inside to tyus, getting to trau t draw the foul. this is a foul on him once

again. >> bob: let's go to debbie antonelli. debbie antonelli vernon macklin has moved him out to the power forward position. he knew he was going to have to have some faceup average, the handle in the faceup position, the handle in the open court. we saw an example of his skills on display in that transition basket. >> bob: woods shot is blocked. now gonzalez, a three. smith. tough going inside, but tracy smith converts, and he's got seven of the wolf pack's ten points. >> larry: i don't know what it is. he just mesmerizes defenses. he gets the ball as quick as anybody i've seen. >> bob: parsons, with the left hand, and it's tipped in by

tyus. >> larry: that's a great tip-in. good timing coming across. >> bob: 11-10, in favor of the gators. now nc state in search once again. two ball handlers. >> larry: he's resmith again! >> bob: and can you see why billy donovan wanted to keep it out of his hands. >> larry: he's on fire right now. >> bob: 12-11, nc state. erving walker. out of the wing.

shipman. >> larry: florida's running their offense, but state doing a good job of switching when they have to. good switch right there by smith. >> bob: tyus at the end of the clock misses the three. shipman, the follow, no. and the rebound to the pack. horner over to wood. woods. for three. >> larry: he really has found his shooting eye. he started the season with a five-game slump. now he's right back where he was. >> bob: the freshman from indiana with his ninth three-pointer in the last three games. >> larry: those indiana guys can still shoot. >> bob: you bet. parsons, wide. tyus. florida getting more than its share of offensive rebounds in the early going. but unable to convert this time down. they trail four. horner takes it up.

and the basket counts. a foul on florida. >> larry: all of a sudden the north carolina state offense has come alive. a great move by dennis horner. known more for his outside shooting, he's developed a really good game to attack the rim. he's become a rell wouwell roun player. >> bob: murphy with his first foul. starting as a senior, this young man out of linwood, new jersey, had 11 career starts in his first three years of the program. >> larry: he's really gone on a campaign to really bulk up. been in the weight room, reduce his body fat from 10% to 8%. over the holidays, mine went up 10%. >> bob: 18-11, nc state. every day's a holiday with you.

12:50 to go in this first half. boynt boynton. werner. gators still empty from outside. 0 for 5 on threes. werner driving -- and hitting. >> larry: that's a nice move. the only leftover from their last national championship team. >> bob: now the pack, and they'll call the time-out as the press was gottering the wolf pack. we'll keep it here with an 18-13 nc state lead with 12:25 remaining in this first half. tracy smith, the junior from detroit, wheeling big inside. >> larry: we mentioned his name often here in the first couple of minutes. he finds ways to score. if he's rebounding, receiving the pass from the point or the wing, he just finds a way to get the ball down into net. >> bob: tracy smith put together

five double-double games this season. and he's off to another big often against the gators. last year, smith played just 12 minutes in gainesville, scored only three and didn't have a field goal. so, quite the reversal of fortune here in the first half. >> larry: what's helped him is his ability to lose the weight. >> debbie: i'm wondering since florida is playing behind tracy smith, if they might turn him into a passer. he scores every time he touches it. >> larry: i've seen teams double up on him, and you make a really good point. it opens it up for the perimeter players. but you have to pick your poison. >> bob: shot clock's at three. degand from the foul line. boynton will take it. and make it. that's a two. >> larry: bad switch that time.

smith came out on him. he immediately recognized what was going on, and boynton buried that shot. >> bob: unbelievable high school scorer in pompano beach. that's boynton's first bucket. he leads the gators in scoring. the pull-up by scott wood. the gators come away. boynton to the middle, outside. here's erving walker letting it fly. scott wood, cross-courts it. julius mays. howell brings it out, the shot clock does not reset. smith in single coverage. and a foul. macklin's second.

with that, a time-out. 10:47, first half. and tracy smith having his way with the gators. why is travel these days about what you give up

and not what you get? like electricity for gadget power at your seat. room to stretch your legs, and your wingspan, food when you're hungry, and taking off your shoes, only if you feel like it. these aren't luxuries, they're basics. get them back on acela.

>> bob: 20-15, nc state leads florida. we want to show you the area that tracy smith has to operate inside. >> larry: bob, i'm doing this for the audience and debbie antonelli. look at all the open area he has to operate in. do they need to double team him? yes. i think it should come from the top. there's a half-hearted effort by boynton to come in there and help. but nobody's really contesting him. if you're going to play behind him, you're going to give him every opportunity to score, and i think debbie's right. they have to find some way -- i would attack from up top. boynton made the half-hearted effort to help. >> bob: look at the numbers. fourth in the league in rebounding and scoring.

that's fifth best in the acc, in field goal percentage. this is the first of our triple header. up next, xavier and wake forest at 5:30 eastern time. and then, just down the road, at cameron indoor stadium, clemson battling duke at 7:45 eastern time. check your local listings. let's go to debbie. >> debbie: well, bob, i checked out the florida huddle, with vernon macklin two fouls now sitting, florida is worried about their work on the glass and transition defense. they feel like they have to do a better job. no change right now on how they are going to defend smith. >> larry: two things billy donovan emphasizes, rebounding and defense. two areas he thought they were really needs to improve from last year. >> bob: nc state is shooting 57% halfway through this first half. dan werner with the mid-ranger. type yu tyus, nope. julius mays.

horner looks for it, back of the basket. size advantage. rebound, state, and the big fella from australia, vor dan vandenberg puts it in. he missed the last game with an ankle sprain against unc-greensboro. but a terrific presence at 7'1" for the wolf pack. >> larry: really trying to get him some playing time, before they get into serious conference play. he has a chance to be really good. >> bob: scott wood with the hand check out front. that's his first foul. for florida, erik murphy coming back in. tyus goes out. kyle mcclanahan coming in.

also back, erving walker. >> larry: hard to believe, florida has not committed a turnover yet. >> bob: their problems, larry, at the defensive end. they've got to find a way to shut down tracy smith or at least slow him down. of course, the best part is defending tracy when he's on the wolf pack bench, which is where he is right now. here's walker. and inside, nicely done. a bay si hook for erik murphy, his second basket. >> larry: when you find a point guard that can penetrate, a scoring threat, too, it really enhanlss his game, because he can drop the ball off inside. that was a nice pass. >> bob: you often hear the debate these days, well, is he a scoring point guard or passing point guard. what difference does it make? >> larry: yeah, who cares? they're guards. they're playmakers. that's what you want on the floor.

>> bob: never bring it up with you again. kick out to gonzalez, his three at the end of the clock is short. gators running. parsons. >> larry: he may have gotten away with one there. watching gary maxwell. he was giving the indication that he just fumbled the basketball. >> bob: here's boynton. murphy. feeling confident with that hook. but this time against the 7'1" opponent. state running three and one, and degand runs it through. third wolf pack turnover. >> larry: it's been a relatively mistake-free game so far. the clubs have played very well. >> bob: 23-17.

here's walker. and a hip check and a kick there, as gonzalez stuck the leg out. that's the first on javy. time-out in raleigh. 7:52, wolf pack by six.ng a home♪ ♪ had a poor credit score ♪ and the number would haunt me wherever i'd go ♪ ♪ thought i'd move to a place where my credit could stink ♪ ♪ and nobody would care ♪ i just wish that somebody had told me ♪ ♪ that place was a renaissance fair! ♪ ♪ free credit report dot com! tell your friends, ♪ ♪ tell your dad,tell your mom! ♪ never mind, they've been singing our songs ♪ ♪ since we first showed up with our pirate hats on! ♪ ♪ if you're not into fake sword fights ♪ ♪ pointy slippers and green wool tights ♪ ♪ take a tip from a knight who knows ♪ ♪ free credit report dot com, let's go! ♪ legal vo: offer applies with enrollment in triple advantage ♪ new kfc fiery grilled wings! marinated then grilled to seal in the one-of-a-kind taste.

first three-pointer. c.j. williams. >> larry: they are next to last in three-point shooting among the eastern conference teams. they're defending the three really well. second in the nation. they really struggled with their outside shooting. particularly the two guards. >> bob: williams. the pack turns it over. florida in attack mode. boynton hangs and hits. >> larry: nice pass by walker. you can't teach that. you have to give the gball to a guy in the middle. >> bob: the pack turn it over. parsons. nailed underneath by horner, and a scramble. and there is that first turnover. >> larry: and werner should have got sheelfish there. go ahead, take the shot.

instead of that extra pass. he tried to force that underneath. nowhere to go. >> bob: chandler sits and ray shipman comes in. gonzalez has to deal with walker and the florida press, and walker got a hand on that one. now the double team. cross-court to wood. and the pack turn it again against the press. walker up. rebound gonzalez. >> larry: two blown opportunities for florida. >> bob: and nc state with numbers, smith the lay-in. and the wolf pack come up with a steal. good hands by c.j. williams. he's open on the wing. wants it. horner goes inside to smith. spins away from the double team.

25-19, wolf pack. 5:30 remaining in the first half. >> larry: a lot of action. great little results. >> bob: gonzalez slipped and fell trying to get to walker in the corner. it matters not. horner, the rebound. >> larry: florida cannot buy a long range basket. >> bob: 0 of 7 from three. wolf pack, 2 of 6 beyond the arc. >> larry: all those years billy donovan was at florida, he had the split two guards. he loves these guys for their defensive work and their passing ability. they've got to find a way to start making shots. >> bob: gonzalez missing and now the gators are going to take a time-out. erik murphy came up with that rebound and billy donovan wants to talk things over. his offense has missed eight of its last ten field goal attempts. >> larry: need to get an

offensive coordinator. one thing both of these guys do, and i talked at length about erving walker and kenny boynton. boynton is go on a roll where he can hit four, five in a row, miss four, five in a row. not so with walker. he's a young man that's been pretty consistent. he just hasn't shot the ball well this year. >> bob: coming up on the acura halftime report, we'll get an update on "the final score" with barly rebrock, and a preview of today's doubleheader, from winston-salen and durham. >> larry: you think anybody is trying to get around the state quickly enough to see all three games? can you do that quickly enough? >> bob: if you are going to get to winston-salem for that tip, leave now. >> larry: great game, wake forest and xavier.

>> bob: fans, you have the best seat of all right there, we'll bring it all to you. here's tyus on the drive. and good hands by howell, and the arrow gives it to nc state. the freshman from marietta, georgia, richard howell. >> larry: howell missed four weeks of practice, really kind of put him behind the eight-ball. his conditioning is not what it should be at this point. but he will get better, and they're happy to have him back. >> bob: he was out with knee surgery in october. the foul on mcclanahan is his first. richard howell out of wheeler high school in marietta. that was the school that lowe got j.j. hixon out of a few years back. played one year here before going onto professional basketball. mapes in a triple team. escapes. >> larry: he had smith wide open underneath, too. >> bob: now tracy's got it. and with the gators flying at

him, the loose ball to florida. dan werner. >> larry: they've done a good job on the half-court defense. nc state putting a lot of pressure on florida. >> bob: mays a little too aggressive. and we have a time-out with 3:52 remaining in the opening half. believe it or not, the students disagreed with that call.

>> bob: time for today's american airlines flashback. and we flashback to back-to-back national championships for the gators. florida defeating ucla in '06 behind al hor ford and joe kim noah. and april of '07, the victimry over ohio state, greg oden and

company. 86-75, as the gators did it aga again. horford, 18 and 12 for billy donovan. he is one of three active coaches with multiple championships. jim calhoun and mike krzyzewski the other two. >> larry: they had three guys drafted off that team that year that went to the nba. >> bob: gators shooting just 33%. howell dropping back to rebound the tyus miss. mays. smith has done a great job of setting up inside. >> larry: he flashes, as soon as he gets open, he gets his big hands you calling for the ball. >> bob: here's a turnover. and now it's shipman to lay it in. >> larry: florida very happy to

have shipman back playing again. the knee injury, he missed the american university and pre presbyterian games. they need him for depth at that guard position. >> bob: nc state lead is four. >> larry: going back to that zone. trying to keep the ball out of smith's hands. >> bob: they get it to him. runs into two gators and scores anyway. >> larry: if you're going to play behind him, somebody's got to come and help. >> bob: tyus, angles it up and off. >> larry: good rebound by smith that time. smith having a great afternoon. >> bob: williams runner. first bucket for c.j., the sophomore from fayetteville, north carolina. 29-21, wolf pack.

biggest lead of the game for nc state. parsons. florida still looking for that first three-pointer of the day. 0 for 8. werner. can't shake howell. he's parsons. now to the wing, and shipman. lost it. >> larry: they look inside a lot to tracy smith, and why not? >> bob: howell, long, shipman rebounds. walker. werner, on the deck, and the hand check. tracy smith with his first personal.

>> larry: one of the things florida does in their half court offense, they do a lot of that dribble drive that you heard a lot about in college basketball today. often times, and florida has several guys that can do that. you saw werner make that move. that middle was wide open. they sort of turned it out for him. >> bob: werner. his spin move got him open. and dan werner with his second field goal. four points. 29-23, and another pack turnover against the press, but florida gives it right back to them. degand to mays, stop and pop three. and howell commits the foul in the rebound action. his first. >> larry: he just pounded parsons into the floor. >> bob: parsons ended up in carry. >> larry: ever since the opening

start of this game, florida in the first two minutes was dominating play, and nc state settled down, and they have really played well. thing i've been most impressed with is their half court defense. the gators have not help eed themselves by not being able to make those long range shots. they're not a good three-point shooting team, but you've got to make at least a couple. >> bob: chandler parsons. his first point. interesting story about parsons. he was a high school teammate of a former teammate that went to greece to play professional basketball. and parsons stayed, he's really blossomed. >> larry: good play by north carolina state. look at the ball movement. >> bob: degand. wood, the rebound.

saves it. knocked away by the gators. murphy, getting a hand in it. chandler parsons coming off that 21-point performance, yet to get a field goal. the gators trail only by four, in the final seconds of the first half. smith. and the rebound to erik murphy. >> larry: murphy did a good job defensively there. sometimes you get a guy like smith who is able to back a guy down. you have to find a way to keep him away from the basket. >> bob: walker. erving's first field goal. and that's the horn, ending the first half. the big story in raleigh, tracy smith. 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting, and the gators were unable to

slow him down in the first 20 minutes of play, and florida exits to its locker room, trailing by only two, thanks to that erving walker bucket late, 29-27. florida has to feel good, larry, about the fact they're only down two. it was getting away from them, trailing eight, but a nice comeback. >> larry: donovan was getting frustrated with the guards. they turned the ball over a lot. they are still having difficulty making the short range and long range shots. getting a lot of chances to look at the basket, but not making the shots. >> bob: a two-point game was the verdict in gainesville last season. it's a two-point spread here today on acc sunday night hoops presented by pizza hut. north carolina state with the lead, 29-27. stay with us. our coverage of acc basketball continues in a moment.

they're running the men's room marathon. with lots of guys going over and over. and here's the dash to the men's room with lots of guys going urgently. and then there's the night game. waking up to go. these guys should be in a race to see their doctors. right. those could be urinary symptoms due to bph, an enlarged prostate. but for many guys, prescription flomax reduces their urinary symptoms due to bph in one week. only your doctor can tell if you have bph, not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. when taking flomax, avoid driving or hazardous tasks until you know how flomax will affect you,

>> bob: the wolf pack leading florida 29-27 here at halftime. tracy smith of the wolf pack has been a one-man wrecking crew. 14 points in 16 minutes. 6 of 9 shooting. we'll be back for the start of the second half, straight ahead on acc sunday night hoops. [ man ] put puddles on the line.

oh! blue! i touched the ball before it went out, coach. come on, alex, the ref did not call that! it's the championship game! i touched, it's their ball. don't foul them when they inbound. team! alex! good call.

>> bob: we welcome you back to raleigh, and a 29-27 nc state over florida. gators led by four in the opening two minutes of the game. nc state's biggest lead was eight. state, behind tracy smith, opened shooting 8 of 12 from the field, but they finished the half by missing 11 of their last 15. let's find out what the coaches had to say, and for that, we go to debbie antonelli. >> debbie: i was able to catch up with billy donovan at the end of the half, and he feels like his team needs to come to helm on tracy smith on the bounce. he does not want to give up any threes, though nc state has only hit two. the other thing is, he feels like they have to make shots. they're 0 for 9 outside the arc. if they can take better care of the basketball, get in their transition game, billy thinks they can get back in the game. >> bob: and the first half numbers, thank you, debbie. there's the story outside the arc. 0 for 9. and interesting to note, larry the offensive rebounding.

nine of them for florida, but only four second chance points. >> larry: you have to do something with those rebounds once you get them. they've done a nice job on the offensive glass. haven't been able to translate that into points. state opens up in their m man-to-man defense. >> bob: macklin spent much of the half with foul difficulty. turns it over here. gonzalez gives to horner. smith. little bit different when he's got macklin in there guarding him from behind. he's stronger and bigger. and a better shot blocker. 15 on the shot clock. williams. florida the other way.

boynton, no. macklin had it ripped out of his hands. >> larry: florida is now 0 for 10 from the three-point line. >> bob: here's smith. splits the defenders and laid it home. >> larry: absolutely amazing. the fact that he can receive that ball and operate down there without anybody really contesting him, i don't know why they don't drop somebody from the wing or the point down in his lap. if, in fact, macklin is going to play behind him. >> bob: dan werner hands it off. walker scoops it to macklin. up and in. on the second try. vernon macklin has six points. >> larry: i think that ball just popped out of his hand. >> bob: a steal by tyus. but he throws it to the sideline. boynton is able to claim it. here is walker for three. and macklin guides it in on the
