NC State lost 59-63 to Texas this evening in the ACC/SEC Challenge, and it’s not altogether confusing why the Wolfpack lost.
When you lose a game by 4, and shoot 6 of 14 from the free throw line, there’s your sign.
To put it bluntly, it’s unacceptable for a team full of Division-1 scholarship players to shoot that poorly from the charity stripe.
NC State continues to lose games because they allow their opponents to win the battle of the offensive glass. Texas was +3 in offensive boards, and was +3 in second chance points.
The Wolfpack allowed Longhorns Forward Arthur Kaluma, who is 6’7″, to snag 16 rebounds, tying a career high.
