We really didn’t give this enough attention during or after Saturday night’s game, so why not start right here right now? Juwan Staten “decided he was going to take over,” according to North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried, and if by “take over” the Alabama grad meant “break fools,” then he is completely accurate.

I hope someone sent Desmond Lee an Edible Arrangement. Kid played three minutes and Staten did that? Bob Huggins-burning-Donnie Eppley thought that was soul-crushing.

The task tonight will be markedly harder than the above. Karl Cochran is a very good defensive guard, to say nothing of a very good all-around player. He led the Southern Conference with 2.0 steals per game last season, has 24 (2.2 per game) already this season and has 187 in his career.

Wofford’s opponents have 87 assists and 164 turnovers this season, too, so the Terriers are pretty good on the ball.

Staten v. Cochran will be a fun and important battle on both ends because Cochran happens to be a pretty good shooter, too. The team’s leader in scoring (13.6), rebounding (6.8) and assists (3.3) is also 29 for 78 from 3-point range this season and 243 for 724 (33.6 percent) in his career. He’s fifth on the school’s all-time 3s made list and second on 3s attempted. (Fourth and fifth? Shane Nichols. You know his brother.)

Wofford beat N.C. State Dec. 14 and had a time of it against Charleston Southern, but won 64-58 three days later. This is the first game since then and Wofford’s 20th chance to beat a top 25 team. The Terriers are so far 0-19, including last season’s NCAA Tournament loss to Michigan.

Many sweaters in the house, but that’s not your thing. Let’s proceed.
