NC State vs. Duke: How do the two match up against each other?
The last time Duke and N.C. State played was nearly a year ago in Durham , and it ended with an 84-82 Wolfpack upset.
Nearing the end of the game, and with a chance to tie the game or take the lead, Duke freshman forward Jayson Tatum lost the basketball, and N.C. State freshman guard Dennis Smith Jr. took the ball down court, for a huge dunk just after the buzzer. The Wolfpack celebrated and walked off the court in a silent Cameron Indoor Stadium.
This season, the two teams have been on very different paths.
No. 2 Duke (13-1, 1-1 ACC) has won its last two games, while N.C. State (10-5, 0-2) and new head coach Kevin Keatts have lost their last two games.
