NC State comes up short against UConn, 91-87, in double overtime thriller

It’s tough to find the words after a game like that one. And it was an instant classic, no doubt, but also a heartbreaker.

At the end of regulation, NC State had the ball and a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but Kai Crutchfield’s hurried three-point attempt missed everything, and it was on to overtime. The Pack appeared to be toast at the end of the first overtime, but Raina Perez found Jakia Brown-Turner in the corner, who hit an incredibly tough three with 0.3 seconds left to tie the game and force another extra period.
