“I am so proud of this group and their effort, their intensity, their focus, their intentionality defensively,” Texas coach Vic Schaefer said after the win. “ … For those of you that haven’t seen us play before, that’s pretty much been the standard the last two months.”
The Wolfpack (30-6) are fresh off a 77-67 upset win over No. 2 seed Stanford on Friday. N.C. State got a game-high 29 points from guard Aziaha James in the win.
