Syracuse completed its sweep of NC State on Tuesday night, getting past the Pack 77-68. After three straight years of a win over Syracuse bolstering NC State’s tournament resume, this year the Orange may have squeezed out State’s last hopes. See it was like a joke about like squeezing an orange and whatnot? Cuz they’re the Orange. Okay.
In the first half of the first meeting, State was nearly flawless offensively. The three halves that followed were a pretty big pile of garbage. The Pack had a season-high on Tuesday for turnovers, amassing 20, 13 of which came in the first half.
