In what was a tightly-contested game nearly start to finish, NC State got enough production down the stretch to fend off a tough Harvard team. The Wolfpack had five players in double figures.
NC State didn’t shoot the ball well overall but did get off to a fast start, at one point leading the Crimson 24-12. Harvard responded with a run of its own to erase that advantage and it was pretty much back-and-forth from then on. The Crimson took a one-point lead into halftime.
The Crimson definitely shot the ball well enough to win, posting an effective field goal percentage above 57.
