Taking the next step in the NCAAs for this NC State program begins with getting past Notre Dame on Saturday. As you may have heard a time or seven this week, Notre Dame is the only ACC team to beat the Wolfpack during the regular season—though that was in South Bend.
Let’s take a look at the Fighting Irish.
In that first game, neither team shot the ball well, and State was actually a bit better from the field, but the Irish did more in the margins. They won on the boards, finished with a +3 turnover margin, and shot 15-17 at the free throw line to State’s 11-14.
