This game was the opposite of one in Raleigh, but with same result. State more than held its own inside, outscoring #UNC 42-22 in paint.

And it is Kendall Marshall’s first zero-turnover game as a starter. (He had four as a reserve as a freshman.). #UNC

(1/2) Earlier this year, Marshall said Zo Brown was the best ACC PG. Asked if he still felt that way. “Lorenzo Brown is still a great PG.”

(2/2) Q: In your opinion then, who is the best? KM: I’ll leave that up for y’all to decide. You can say whatever team wins ACC has best PG.

Oh, and Marshall said he thought he should have had two turnovers, not zero. Henson and Zeller said they gladly take them. #UNC
