DAYTON, Ohio -- Given a second chance, T.
Solomon
Thomas Jersey .J. Warren put on a show in the NCAA tournament. The
hard-to-guard sophomore forward scored 16 of his 25 points in the second half on
Tuesday night, showing why he was the ACCs player of the year, and North
Carolina State led most of the way in a 74-59 victory over Xavier in the NCAA
tournaments First Four. N.C. State (22-12) didnt have much time to celebrate.
The 12th-seeded Wolfpack headed to Orlando, Fla., for a game on Thursday against
St. Louis in the Midwest Regional. Warren had the most to do with it. He made up
for a freshman tournament flop on the same floor a year earlier and prevented
Xavier (21-14) from getting any traction in the second half. "Hes just a great
player," coach Mark Gottfried said. "Its hard to keep him down for a whole 40
minutes." Centre Matt Stainbrook led Xavier with 19 points and nine rebounds
despite an injured left knee. Leading scorer Semaj Christon was limited to 14
points, and Xavier made only 2 of 14 shots from beyond the arc. Xavier was
playing in a familiar arena less than an hour from campus. Familiar, but not
entirely friendly. Fans of the Dayton Flyers -- a long-time rival -- booed
loudly as they took the court, making for a mixed welcome with a lot of
Musketeer fans in the stands as well. Warren made it all a moot point, helping
N.C. State take all the drama out of the game over the final 11 minutes. Ralston
Turner added 17 points. The Wolfpack went six years between NCAA appearances
before Gottfried got them there three years in a row. This was his youngest and
least-experienced team: Only two players with tournament experience. They got
one of the final at-large bids with a strong closing run, winning five of their
last six games, including an upset of Syracuse in the ACC tournament. Warren was
the key. And he really wanted a second chance at the NCAA tournament. As a
freshman last year, he managed only four points as N.C. State lost to Temple
76-72 at the University of Dayton Arena in its opening game. Hes grown a lot in
one year, leading the ACC with 24.8 points per game this season and hitting the
40-point mark twice. He got off to a bad start on Tuesday, missing his first two
shots and picking up two fouls in the first 4 minutes, 14 seconds. Warren
checked back into the game and hit a jumper for his first points at the 11:29
mark. Christon, who was Warrens roommate at Brewster Academy for one year, kept
the Musketeers in it during the first half. He scored off two drives to the
basket, starting an 8-1 run. Stainbrooks reverse layup trimmed it to 27-26 with
2:22 left. Jordan Vandenbergs three-point play gave N.C. State a 34-28 advantage
at halftime. Dee Davis hit Xaviers first 3-pointer, and Christon scored on a
fast-break lay-in that cut it to 39-37. Thats when Warren took over. He had a
pair of pull-up jumpers, followed by a steal and a lay-up as N.C. State rebuilt
the lead to 51-42. He had another pull-up jumper and a fast-break dunk that made
it 57-47 with 7:56 to go. Xavier never got closer than seven points the rest of
the way, fading down the stretch. The biggest question for Xavier was how
Stainbrooks left knee would hold up. The Big Easts second-leading rebounder
sprained a ligament, sat out the final regular season game and was extremely
limited in two Big East conference games. He was back in form, but Xavier didnt
have enough other scoring options to keep up.
