It felt like it had been about five games since NC State got anything from beyond the arc, but finally, late and at the best possible time, some threes started going in, allowing the Wolfpack to rally from a 10-point deficit, force overtime, and beat UNC.
The game looked bleak with the Pack down 55-45 with a little over four minutes left, but State chipped into that deficit and then Jakia Brown-Turner stepped up large, knocking down a pair of threes in the last two minutes (one coming with a very friendly bounce).
The second of those closed the gap to 61-60 with 30 seconds left, and after the Tar Heels split a pair of free throws, Aziaha James knotted the game at 62 with a drive to the bucket, then very nearly won it with a lay in at the buzzer after a steal—but UNC defended that shot well, James missed, and UNC lived, at least for another five minutes.
