NC State opened as an 8.5-point favorite over Wake Forest, per Vegas Insider. This game happens to be at noon, and in Winston-Salem, where NC State has not won since 2001. I was a freshman in college that year (so was current professional basketball coach Julius Hodge), and like a decade from developing a Twitter addiction. My cell phone couldn't even talk to me. Long time ago.
So hang on one second here you're tellin' me they put the line at the where now
Eight-and-a-half points! THIS IS MADNESS. Everyone find the nearest wood or woodlike substance and knock on it for the rest of the day.
