NC State’s performance against Northern Iowa today was the the polar opposite of last nights heroics against #2 Arizona.
From beginning, to the end, NC State was off. They were emotionally and physically not there.
The Wolfpack shot poorly (34.4%).
They turned the ball over more than Northern Iowa (14-11).
They put Northern Iowa on the free throw line way too much (22 attempts compared to NC State’s 13).
NC State continually took ill advised shots. They seemed to continually be in a rush.
The Wolfpack’s big men were the only aspect of their offensive attack that worked, and they simply didn’t feed the post enough.
