I try not to dwell too much on how NC State could be sitting here with 10 wins with a few more breaks here and there, a few more plays made, a few additional mistakes avoided. State is 3-3 in one-possession games this season, and while that’s an acceptable record in close games, man have those losses brought a lot of pain. All three of those losses hurt like hell.
But the Wolfpack can at least ease a bit of that pain by taking care of North Carolina on Saturday and wrapping up an eight-win season in the process.
