The final score of 78-56 doesn’t paint a clear picture of this Wolfpack victory.
This wasn’t some 22 point thumping. This was a ‘grind it out’, ‘get it done’ type of victory for NC State. This was the first time we got to see a little struggle. It was the first time players had to step up and hit run-stopping shots. It was the first time some of NC State’s weaknesses were exposed.
At the end of the day, this game taught us a little more about who this team is and what they need to do going forward.
