second foul on julius mays. >> larry: is that a declaration? larry: good screen by macklin. they missed him on the roll. >> bob: tyus lays it in, and another great post feed. >> larry: nc state's defense is kind of fallen off here to start this second half. >> bob: 37-34, down the lane, degand. and a blocking foul. that's on tyus, his first. >> larry: i really like the way degand plays. he was a guy that came in as a point guard, and they moved him over to shooting guard this year, and he's moving up and down the floor, playing much, much better. he's really battled those knee problems, as i indicated in that first half. >> bob: yes, he has. torn acl ten games into his freshman season. foul shot popped out on him. last year, degand made 24 appearances, 11 starts. by coach's decision, sat in the first six games this year, getting his academics in order. now averaging 16 minute as game in the last seven. back in the rotation. rebound to florida. nc state leaves a couple of points on the table here. and in this game, points are at a pree premium.

.: i think that kyle randall right now feels like he's got an ability to get into julius mays a little, 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 doub

julius mays. horner looks for it, back of the basket. size advantage.und, 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 re

julius mays is another good one. >> bob:press can create problems. they get horner free, and he's fouled by werner. dan's third. >> larry: that's about the only thing you can do. you cannot give up the lay-up right there. only two seconds went off of the clock. >> bob: dennis horner. and the wolf pack, they need this one to guarantee themselves a tie. if florida can sink a three. 57-55. >> larry: something they've not done much of today. >> bob: horner. gators need a three. who is it going to be? >> larry: right now, erving walker. and a slapdown by gonzalez. that will put florida on the line for a one and one. >> larry: interesting strategy right there. go ahead and foul. the most they can make is two. will they rye to make the first one? yes. will they try to make the second one? probably not. >> bob: walker's got to make the first one. to have an opportunity to have the intensional miss and offensive rebound. that plays a little harder since they changed the rule on the lane. that first spot in college with the second straight year is vacated. >>
