NC State coach Kevin Keatts said it's the little things that start to add up, and that's one of the keys to winning close games.

NC State overcame a difficult start of the game to have a shot at forcing overtime Wednesday. However, freshman wing Terquavion Smith's 3-pointer missed and Virginia Tech hold on for a 62-59 win at PNC Arena.
