Nitpicking the negatives from NC State’s 49 point season-opening win over Austin Peay

I just slobbed all over this team in my last piece, going so far as to predict that they make or flirt with the Top 25 this season. But any good coach knows no game is perfect, and there are always things to work on.

Look, this was a 49-point win over a team that is going to be middle of the pack in the ASUN conference. But NC State hadn’t beaten a team by 50 since 2018-19 when they smoked St. Mary’s in the season opener 105-55.

That year they started off 13-1, but soon lost Markell Johnson to injury.
