A day that started with a bang for NC State basketball with the commitment of 5-star point guard Robert Dillingham ended with an even bigger, much longer bang as NC State beat Nebraska 104-100 in a game that took four overtimes to decide.
NC State got off to a good start offensively and built a nine-point lead before it began to spin its tires a bit. State can’t really afford long stretches of bad offense because it’s far from excellent on defense, and the Pack’s shooting struggles were extensive through the meat of this game. It seemed like it would doom them as the Huskers were getting to the rim easily and scoring in transition without much resistance.
