RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State remains tough to beat at home. Wake Forest isn't going to beat anyone if it keeps going cold late in games.
Omer Yurtseven scored 22 points and N.C. State beat the Demon Deacons 72-63 on Thursday night.
Markell Johnson had 13 points and Torin Dorn added 11, including a key jumper that put the Wolfpack up by four points with 57.5 seconds to play. N.C. State (13-6, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) shot nearly 42 percent -- but was just 7 of 26 from 3-point range -- yet closed with an 11-0 run to improve to 12-1 at PNC Arena.
