Road Warriors: NC State never trails after halftime in ACC win at Wake Forest

A year after any ACC win was a major accomplishment for N.C. State, first-year coach Kevin Keatts has the Wolfpack racking up road league wins like a team worthy of traveling for the big tournament in March.

N.C. State built a 14-point second half lead and held on to defeat Wake Forest, 90-84, at the Joel Coliseum on Saturday.

Having won 74-70 at Syracuse on Wednesday night, NC State (18-9, 8-6 ACC) has back-to-back road wins in league play for the second time this season. After going 16-17 and 4-14 in ACC play last season, N.C. State is moving closer to earning its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2015.
