Quick Hits from NC State’s 85-45 Win Over Liberty
NC State improved to 7-3 this evening, defeating Liberty 85-45 in the Lenovo Center. Here are my quick hits.
Well, it’s safe to say the Wolfpack covered the spread. NC State was an 11.5-point favorite, and ended up covering the spread by 28.5 points.
Because of the Pack’s smothering defense, the betting Total went Under. The Total was 157.5, and the two teams combined to score 130 points, which was 27.5 points Under the Total.
It’s hard to put into words how impressive NC State’s defensive performance was tonight. Liberty entered the contest ranked 2nd nationally in field goal percentage (54.7%), 2nd in 2-point field goal percentage (66.5%) and 4th in 3-point field goal percentage (43.1%).
