Cat Barber went blow for blow with Winthrop’s Jimmy Gavin in a game that was probably too exciting for Mark Gottfried’s liking. NC State did, however, escape with the 87-79 victory over the Eagles.
Barber sets career mark:
For Barber it the type of game he desperately needed. While he had been playing decent, he hadn’t had the type of dominant outing that would kickstart this basketball team. Tonight he was simply unguardable. He used his size and speed to create oppotunities, and when he got them he capitalized on them. Barber was as aggressive as we’ve ever seen him.
