I suppose it’s a minor miracle that something like this hadn’t happened already—NC State has played with fire plenty this season and survived unscathed despite it. Tonight the bill came due.
As solid as MJ Morris has been over the last couple of weeks, he was the big liability in this game, turning the ball over three times over the final 30 minutes as his offense went cold and Boston College found just enough space to rally. It was a painful reminder of just how young he is, and just how difficult this game can be.
State came out gangbusters and scored 14 points in a hurry, but after that, there was not a lot to like.
