#6 NC State’s week couldn’t have gone much worse. After losing to rival UNC 70-80 on the road on Thursday, the Wolfpack lost 58-69 to Duke on the road this afternoon. Quite a few bracketologists were projecting NC State as a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament before the back-t0-back losses, making two straight losses to rivals even more agonizing.
Offensively, NC State has been awful in both losses. After shooting 35.2% at UNC, the Wolfpack shot 33.3% today at Duke.
The Blue Devils dominated this game, leading every second, and managed to shoot 47% from the field.
