WERE JUST WAY WAY TOO POWERFUL. TONIGHT, 12 HITS FOR THEM. THEY WON. THIS ONE'S 9 TO 8 IN 8 NC SAY CIRCADIAN SMITH IS PROJECTED AS A SECOND-ROUND PICK. AND TOMORROW'S NBA DRAFT SMITH THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING FOR THE NBA AFTER LAST SEASON. BUT HE CAME BACK TO NC STATE TO AVERAGE 18 POINTS AND 4 ASSISTS PER GAME THAT PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING LEADING A TURNAROUND SEASON FOR THE FACT HIS WIFE, KRIS, BUT WHOLE OF THINGS AND BE A TEAM TO >> THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE GUYS COMING BACK TO SCHOOL WAS A DECISION THAT REALLY HELPED HIM REALLY HELPED HIM BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, HE SHOW THAT HE CAN PLAY ON A WINNING TEAM >> YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO GO FROM 11 IN 21 1 YEAR TO NOW. 21 11. I THINK THERE'S A FINAL RECORD MAKING NCAA TOURNAMENT THAT'S A BIG DEAL. THE NBA TEAMS, THAT STUFF MATTERS. IT DOES PARTICULARLY WITH A PLAYER LIKE SMITH. HOW DO TEAMS SEE HIM POSITIONALLY IN THE NBA IS A QUESTION. I THINK A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING TO GRAPPLE WITH THE THINGS YOU LOVE, THOUGH. >> IS FIRST OF ALL, HE BELIEVES HE'S GOOD. THAT MATTERS. HE'S GOT THAT DOG IN HIM. HE'S GOT THAT FIGHT IN HIM.
