NC State snapped its losing skid against Pittsburgh Tuesday night, rallying from a seven-point deficit to capture a 79-74 win. Terry Henderson and Maverick Rowan led the charge by scoring 21 points apiece, and the duo was a combined 10-19 from beyond the arc.
The Wolfpack got off to a solid start in this one, opening up an eight-point lead on the Panthers early, but the game was destined to be a back-and-forth affair. Pittsburgh used a 13-4 run in the middle of the second half to turn a two-point deficit in to a seven-point lead, at which point all the wearying thoughts about State’s shortcomings came flying through the door.
