NC State might have led by 2 at halftime, but Virginia exploded in the 2nd half, putting the Wolfpack away 76-56 in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.
Redshirt Sophomore DJ Funderburk was the star of the 1st half for the Wolfpack, scoring 10 points. Unfortunately, after getting poked in the eye, and being underutilized when he returned, he only scored 2 more points in the contest.
So NC State led by 2 points at halftime, and lost by 20 points…what gives?
Welp.
NC State didn’t tank offensively in the 2nd half. In fact, you could argue they were better.
