There are little moments in any two-point game that add up to the win.
N.C. State has let too many of those moments pass them by this season but not on Tuesday in Atlanta.
The Wolfpack (15-14, 4-12 ACC) used a key sequence at the end of the first half, to protect its lead, and ultimately provide the difference in a 71-69 road win over the Yellow Jackets (16-12, 7-8).
Coach Mark Gottfried has often lamented one of his team’s problems this season is getting overwhelmed when an opponent makes a run and not understanding how to fight back when things go wrong.
