Early in the season, as we looked ahead to the ACC schedule, the one game that, no matter how we looked at it, was going to be a problem, were the matchups with Duke.
Duke just has so many weapons. Whether it’s Wendell Moore Jr, Paolo Bancharo, or Mark Williams, NC State was going to have bad matchups. All of our concerns played out, and while NC State kept it sort of close for a big portion of the game, the final result never seemed to be in question. Duke was just better.
Here is ‘Our Take’ on the loss…
Dowuona played decently but was no match for Williams
NC State’s interior defense and interior lack of offense continues to be a problem.
