N.C. State coach Kevin Keatts hopes Wednesday night's four-overtime victory against Nebraska has prepared his team for Atlantic Coast Conference competition.

"Surely we want to try and build on that. I mean these games are tough," Keatts said as the Wolfpack head into their ACC opener against visiting Louisville on Saturday afternoon in Raleigh, N.C.

"It can definitely boost our confidence," said Dereon Seabron, who posted 39 points and 18 rebounds in the 104-100 victory. "It just shows Coach Keatts that we will never quit. We will keep fighting until the clock says zero. It is good for us, especially going into the conference game with Louisville."
