#3 Seed NC State 77 #2 Seed Stanford 67: BOX SCORE
#11 seed NC State dominated #2 seed Marquette to the tune of 67-58 this evening in the Sweet 16, advancing to the Elite 8 for the first time since 1986.
The Wolfpack have now won 8 games in a row, with that streak beginning on Tuesday, the first day of the ACC Tournament.
At the 15:51 mark in the 1st half, NC State took the lead, and they never let go of it.
The Wolfpack led by 13 at halftime, and led by as much as 16 in the 2nd half.
Senior DJ Horne was unflappable. Marquette’s defense was swarming him, but Horne’s pure determination led him to finish with 19 points, hitting 4 of his 7 three pointers.
