All the features of an NC State basketball game from the last month were on display against Clemson in Brooklyn this evening, the most prominent of them being defeat, of course. I feel a little relieved.
The Wolfpack went out by shooting 45% inside the arc and 17.4% from three, and they were held well under a point per possession. The Tigers only barely eclipsed a point per trip themselves; this was just plain bad basketball. But that’s why these teams are playing on ACC Tournament Tuesday.
Dereon Seabron was just 5-16 from the field but scored 19 points thanks to shooting 9-11 from the free throw line.
