N.C. State 66, Notre Dame 65: Closing woes persist

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish went into Raleigh Wednesday evening looking for a much-needed win against N.C. State to even up their ACC record. Conference road wins are gold, and the Irish had a seven point lead with under four minutes to play, but offensive execution dwindled down the stretch, and N.C. State was able to turn the tables in the final minute to steal the victory.

Both offenses started off cold early. The Irish missed their first three shots — all threes — before Matt Allocco made a triple off of a kick-out from Kebba Njie.
