If you were not prepared for the up-and-down nature of this NC State basketball season, I hope you are now. Lose by 30 at Notre Dame, win by 11 at home against Duke, see this is just how it’s going to work this year. There are going to be swings. And when we hit the good swings, they’re going to be fun.

NC State sustained a consistent and determined effort against Duke on Saturday night, and it played generally smart, balanced basketball, which led to a 96-85 win. Omer Yurtseven scored 16 points on 8-14 shooting while grabbing nine boards.
