No N.C. State player took more shots in the Wolfpack’s first two ACC games than Allerik Freeman.
Duke certainly knew that entering last Saturday’s game against N.C. State. Freeman struggled making shots in those first two ACC games – losses at Clemson and Notre Dame, so the Blue Devils gave the 6-3, 210-pound graduate student guard extra attention.
It’s what Freeman decided to do with that extra attention that led to the Wolfpack’s 96-85 upset win over No. 2 Duke.
And the hope is that Freeman and the rest of the Wolfpack will take what they learned in that win into Thursday’s game with No.
