NC State’s first year under Kevin Keatts was a special one.
Allerik Freeman’s special performance yesterday in the Wolfpack’s 83-94 loss to Seton Hall in the first round of the NCAA Tournament was a glimpse of why the Wolfpack were able to exceed expectations in a major way this season.
Freeman scored 36 points against the Pirates, which is the 2nd most points ever scored by an NC State player in an NCAA Tournament game (4 points behind David Thompson’s record 40 points). He was 12 of 19 from the field and 6 of 8 from three.
