NC State coach: ‘We were really, really bad’ in blowout loss to North Carolina

Normally, N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried can find one thing he liked from each game, even in a loss, but not a Sunday.

A 51-point blowout tends to leave you at a loss for words. North Carolina embarrassed N.C. State in every possible way on Sunday to win its ACC home opener 107-56.

The Wolfpack (12-4, 1-2 ACC) had more turnovers (a season-high 26) than field goals (23) and was outrebounded 50-36.

It all added up to the most points UNC has scored in the history of the rivalry, which goes back to 1913, and the second-most lopsided loss to the Tar Heels ever.
