To score (1st option) or collapse the defense to kick out for 3s or dump offs to cutters (2nd option). Dribble penetration into the paint is 10x better than last game. I anticipate NC State is going to try to switch it up with a zone defense in the 2nd half. But its important not to relax and start chucking 3s.
