NC State improved to 11–4 overall and 4–0 in ACC play yesterday afternoon, defeating Cal 71–60 at Reynolds Coliseum. The Wolfpack extended their winning streak to six games and have now won eight of their last nine.
The Pack led by one point at halftime but locked down Cal defensively in the second half to pull away for an 11-point win. After allowing the Golden Bears to shoot 52% in the first half, NC State held them to just 35% after the break.
NC State shot only slightly better than Cal (44.4% to 43.6%), but turnovers proved to be the difference.
