NC State hadn’t won in Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1995. Thant changed last night when Dennis Smith Jr took matters into his own hands and let the Wolfpack to a 84-82 victory.
This was a coming of age game for Dennis Smith Jr. Sure he has been one of the most remarkable players in the ACC, leading the league in steals, assists and nearing the top in scoring. But against Duke it was different. Smith Jr. not only put up the stats, but he broke through a wall. He willed his team to win on this night. When they needed him most, he delivered.
