They’ll always have LSU.
No matter how disappointed Mark Gottfried has been in senior forward BeeJay Anya this season, the N.C. State coach and the Wolfpack big man will always have Anya’s improbable hook shot to beat the Tigers in the first round of the 2015 NCAA tournament.
That was only two years ago but it seemed impossibly longer on Saturday as N.C. State closed out its disappointing home schedule with a 70-55 loss to No. 18 Virginia.
The Cavaliers (19-9, 9-7 ACC) shot 68.8 percent from the 3-point line (11 of 16) and broke a four-game losing streak in the process.
