N.C. State shooter Scott Wood has been up and down this season, exploding for points in some games and disappearing offensively in others. He had zero points against Duke, nine against Wake Forest, five against Clemson, 15 at Maryland and three against North Carolina.<\/p>\n
Then in Saturday\u2019s win over Georgia Tech, Wood erupted for 20 points and hitting seven of 10 shots.<\/p>\n
That raises the obvious question of why Wood has been so erratic. On Monday, Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe had a pointed response on the ACC teleconference.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne [reason] is that people are really paying attention to him and trying to do things to him to prevent him from getting shots,\u201d Lowe said.<\/p>\n
But Lowe couldn\u2019t help but add a strong point about how Wood is being grabbed by defenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he\u2019s my player and I might be biased but the film doesn\u2019t lie. He gets held more than anybody I have ever seen. They literally grab him, grab his jersey.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are just aware of him. The last ballgame he really moved well without the ball. That\u2019s one of the things we\u2019ve been trying to tell him – keep moving so they can\u2019t grab you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
