The health of Jericole Hellems is the number one concern following Saturday’s contest with Wake Forest. He suffered an apparent head injury late in the game and had to be stretchered off the court. Obviously, we’re all hoping he is okay and not seriously hurt.
The Pack got a critical ACC victory on Saturday when it cruised on the Demon Deacons for about 36 minutes and then held on for a 91-82 win.
For those 36 minutes, Kevin Keatts basketball was fully functional. State jumped out to an early lead via some hot perimeter shooting and never cooled down, finishing the game 11/18 from beyond the arc for a very nice 69%.
