#11 seed NC State had pretty much led for the entirety of every NCAA Tournament game heading into tonight’s matchup against ACC rival #4 seed Duke in the Elite Eight. How would the Pack handle things if they fell behind?

NC State trailed Duke 21-27 at halftime, shooting only 26.5% from the field. The Wolfpack showed the type of resolve they possess this evening, turning things around in the 2nd half, shooting an insane 73.1% from the field after the break.

With 12:59 remaining in the game, NC State took the lead on a pair of DJ Horne free throws, and they took it for good when he made a jumper at the 11:49 mark.
