NC State lost their fourth straight game today, falling to SMU 57-63 at the Lenovo Center. The Wolfpack is now 9-10, with a 2-6 record in the ACC, having lost six of their last seven games.
It’s nearly impossible to win when you shoot 29% from the field, which marks the lowest shooting percentage in a single game this season for the Wolfpack. Remarkably, the Mustangs shot the ball better by 14 percentage points, yet the Wolfpack only lost by 6. There’s no questioning NC State’s effort; they play hard until the final buzzer. The team entered the game ranked 10th in the ACC in field goal percentage, making 45.
