N.C. State can’t quite figure out a way to win a road game.
There wasn’t much mystery to Wednesday’s 74-66 loss at Boston College to freshman guard Dennis Smith Jr.
“We have to play better defensively,” Smith said.
Defense has been a problem for this Wolfpack team, especially on the road where it has given up 25.5 more points per game (87.5) than at home (62.0).
N.C. State (12-5, 1-3 ACC) couldn’t contain Boston College guards Jerome Robinson (24 points) and Ky Bowman (19 points). The Wolfpack knew going into the game slowing the Boston College guards would be key, but it couldn’t slow the production of the two from North Carolina.
