It was an unusual game from the perspective that State pulled out the victory despite Cat Barber not reaching double figures on the day. It was the trio of Maverick Rowan, Caleb Martin, and Malik Abu that carried the Wolfpack to victory. Rowan scored 20 points, pouring in 17 in the second half. He came up with big answers on the offensive end as Cat Barber was bottled up by the Tigers. It was quickly apparent that Rowan was in the zone when he hit a tough step back three pointer, he then went on to pull an arrow out and acted like he was an archer.
