In terms of player contributions, NC State's scoring was bolstered by key plays in the second half, including a driving layup by Travis Perry and a layup from Alyn Breed, who also added a free throw shortly after. The Wolfpack maintained control throughout the game, with their lead growing to as much as 16 points in the second half. Despite Ole Miss's efforts to close the gap, including a layup from Malik Dia, they were unable to mount a significant comeback.
