The way #2 seed NC State played today, they could have beaten anyone in the NCAA Tournament bracket. The Wolfpack steamrolled #7 seed Michigan State 83-49 in the second round of the Big Dance, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the sixth time in the last seven tournaments.
NC State’s onslaught of made shots was too much for the Spartans to contain, with shooting percentages at 50% from the field and 50% from three-point range. The Wolfpack made 15 three-pointers in the contest, setting a new school record for made three-pointers in an NCAA Tournament game. They didn’t just slightly make school history; they shattered the old record by five.
