Sure, this game didn’t count. It was played against Mars Hill, a Division II team who has nowhere near ACC level talent. But that isn’t what tonight was about. Tonight was about observing, about learning what this Wolfpack team has and how they are going to use it.
Regardless of the opponent, what we witnessed tonight was impressive. It wasn’t the 109 points they scored or the fact that they won by 43. No. It was the fine details of tonight’s game that should have Pack fans very excited. The fact that NC State’s defense was constantly in the passing lanes.
