Gutsy win at Syracuse shows toughness that has N.C. State on track for NCAA tournament

Two losses in a row are more than enough for this N.C. State basketball team to endure this season.

Two games mark the longest losing streaks for the Wolfpack in what’s become a special season under first-year coach Kevin Keatts.

In Wednesday night’s game at Syracuse, there were a handful of instances when it sure looked like N.C. State, after losses to Virginia Tech and North Carolina last week, was headed for a third loss in a row.

But the Wolfpack, after trailing by seven points in the first half, six points with 9:42 to play, refused to lose at the Carrier Dome.
