N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said C.J. Leslie’s foul shooting has been "much better" since a recent adjustment in form and approach.

"We've worked with him on his release point - a little higher," Gottfried said. "His concentration - much better than it's been in the past. It's getting better there. I think he's improved in just about every aspect of his game."

Before facing Georgia Tech, Leslie shot 63.3 percent from the line in N.C. State's first 16 games. He's 9-for-17 (52.9 percent) in the last four games, with all but one of the attempts coming against Georgia Tech and Miami. He went 4-for-8 against the Yellow Jackets and was 5-for-6 against the Hurricanes before missing two attempts with 2:03 remaining.

"Just concentrating, stay on the line and make the shot," Leslie said.
