NC State is off to a 9-1 start for the first time since the 2005-06 season (started 12-1), defeating Penn State 89-78 in the Boardwalk Classic up in Atlantic City this afternoon.
The Wolfpack committed a season high 17 turnovers, and only forced 14. That’s not the normal recipe for success for the Pack.
While they didn’t take the ball away as much as they’d like, they blistered the nets on offense. NC State entered the game shooting the ball 50.6% from the field on the year, ranking 2nd in the ACC, and 12th in the nation.
