The 3-point line hasn’t been particularly kind to Georgia Tech this season. That was before the Yellow Jackets visited N.C. State on Sunday.
Freshman guard Josh Okogie and senior forward Quinton Stephens unexpectedly got hot from 3 and helped the underdog Jackets hand N.C. State an 86-76 loss.
Freshman guard Dennis Smith Jr. scored a season-best 31 points and did his best help the Wolfpack (12-6, 1-4 ACC) avoid a third straight ACC loss. The Wolfpack just couldn’t withstand the blistering outside shooting by the Jackets, who finished 10 of 16 from the 3-point line.
Okogie scored 27 points and made all three of his 3-pointers.
