Remember this offseason, when the narrative was that “the defense is going to be elite under Will Wade, but they might not have the horses on offense to become a true contender?”
Seems silly now that we’re 3 games in and the offense looks like a well-oiled machine.
In fact, this team is now in the record books for scoring the 3rd most points over the first 3 games in a season for NC State, with 318.
(the ’90-91 ‘Fire & Ice’ team scored 374 &the 75-76 “Kenny Carr’ team scored 320).
Before you write this off as a fluke and mention the fact that NC State has played nobody of significance, take a second to realize that UAB is probably the best team they’ve played in the first 3 games of a season since 2014, when they took on Cincinnati in the 2nd game of the season (the 3rd year of the Gottfried era).
