RALEIGH N.C. State’s Allerik Freeman referred to Sam Hunt as the Wolfpack “sniper” on Sunday and that was fine with Hunt.
With the Wolfpack struggling to hit shots against Charleston Southern late in the first half of Sunday’s game at PNC Arena, Hunt nailed a 3-pointer from the corner.
Moments later, Hunt did it again.
Just before halftime, Hunt did it again.
Hunt did not have another basket in the game but the damage to Charleston Southern had been done, and in short order. The Pack, scoring the last 17 points of the first half, suddenly had a 21-point halftime lead and was on its way to a 78-56 victory.
