Sooooo much fight from NC State late in this one.
Paul McNeil Jr. fought his ass off for an offensive rebound, which led to Darrion Williams getting a tough layup to make it 74-69 with 2:32 left to play. NC State is now on a 9-0 run in the last 2:44 of play.

I wonder how Will Wade felt about that foul call on Quadir Copeland?
