It’s not every day you win a game in which you shot 9-35 from the three-point line, but somehow State did just that in pulling out a come-from-behind victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. Not a whole lot that happened made sense, from Pitt’s early perimeter brilliance to State’s late run. But I will absolutely take it, thank you.
I’ll have to check on this later today, but I suspect that road wins despite 40% (eFG) shooting is a bit of a rarity for NC State. It helps that Pittsburgh is terrible, yeah, but that is a massive hurdle that will doom you most of the time, even against bad teams.
