NC State catches fire in 4th quarter to bury Duke, 77-62

When this NC State team flips a switch, it is a sight to behold. The Wolfpack turned what had been a tight game into a laugher down the stretch thanks to a 31-point fourth quarter performance that was probably its best of the season.

Duke stood helpless as NC State shot 11-12 from the field, including 3-3 from beyond the arc, over the final 10 minutes.

Four Factors

State outscored Duke 17-5 over the last four minutes, using back-to-back-to-back threes from Kai Crutchfield, Raina Perez, and Jakia Brown-Turner to push a three-point lead to 12 in a matter of about 90 seconds.
