Wheeeeew. Whew. I about near died, but I’m fine now. Markell Johnson gave NC State the lead and the win with a pair of free throws with 2.6 seconds remaining in regulation, in the process, we hope, sealing the Wolfpack’s spot in the NCAA tournament.
State is lucky as hell to be on the winning side, not the least because Johnson wasn’t really fouled on that last driving attempt. (Heh.) The Pack played terrible basketball for a significant chunk of the game and found itself down by 16 at the break. I’m not surprised the guys found a way to rally, though I am in a bit of shock that the game turned out the way it did.
