It wasn’t a pretty 1st Round win in the NCAA Tournament, but a W is a W.
Don’t get me wrong. The Wolfpack walked out of Reynolds with a dominant 64-45 win over Chattanooga in the 1st round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
But both teams, #3 seed NC State and #14 Chattanooga, both shot 33.3% from the field.
How did the Wolfpack win by such a large margin?
NC State made 20 of 25 free throw attempts, while Chattanooga made 8 of 14.
The Wolfpack also snagged 12 offensive boards.
Junior Guard Aziaha James led the Pack with 19 points, on 6 of 12 shooting, making 5 of 10 from three.
