NC State fell to #8 FSU 67-61 in a hard-fought battle.
Devon Daniels led the Pack with 18 points and 9 boards while Jericole Hellems added 14 points and 7 boards. State only got 26 minutes out of their most productive big, DJ Funderburk, due to some questionable foul calls. He finished with just 9 points and 4 boards.
FSU’s length really bothered Markell Johnson and CJ Bryce who combined for just 13 points. Johnson added 5 assists and Bryce had 4 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough from the two seniors.
The Noles really hammered the Pack on the offensive glass, coming up with 15 offensive rebounds to NC State’s 11.
