NC State 72, Northeastern 66: Big second half helps Wolfpack overcome sluggish start

Phew. NC State started yet another game cold at the offensive end, but Cat Barber was his usual self, and the Wolfpack's supporting cast woke up in the second half. The Pack scored 45 points over the final 20 minutes, which was good enough to give the team a 72-66 win over a tough Northeastern group.

Barber finished with 29 points on 11-20 shooting, along with five boards and three assists. He is the only D-I player in the country averaging 20-5-5. He got pretty much whatever he wanted against the Huskies defense, driving relentlessly to the bucket for some easy scores.
