Don the sunglasses of triumph!
NC State’s offense came alive when it counted the most on Sunday, scoring 25 points over the final eight minutes to give the Wolfpack a relatively comfortable win over the Tar Heels.
Jack Clark’s three to give State the lead back got it all started with a little under eight to go, though NC State didn’t claim the lead for good until DJ Burns scored a couple minutes later to make it 62-60. That bucket sparked a 9-0 run that delivered control of the game to the Pack; fittingly, it was Jarkel Joiner who accounted for seven of those nine, including a huge three-pointer.
