1. Carolina allowed State to get red-hot in the final quarter of the game, as State closed a win with a 29-15 stretch in the final ten minutes to win, 77-69.
2. Pretty simple: Carolina couldn't stop Jarkel Joiner and D.J. Burns down the stretch. At one point, the State duo combined for 24 of the Pack's 27 points, which helped the home team build a nine-point lead. Joiner (29 points on 11-for-21 shooting) and Burns (18 points on 9-for-15 shooting) were the two most impactful players on the court for either side.
