When you play on the road, turns out it’s difficult to overcome a lot of mental errors, and it was those mistakes that defined NC State’s 84-77 loss at Louisville. The outcome could have been different; everything could have been different but for the errors.
NC State turned the ball over 23 times on Thursday night, 23 times it just let the Cardinals off the hook without a challenge. Some of the officiating was bad, sure, but mostly it was State just doing dumb shit; dumb shit for which there is no accounting on the road. So it is.
