Shooting just 40.6% and missing key threes hurt, but Wade believes the team’s mental toughness is growing—just in time for the ACC grind. With non-conference wins slipping away, do you think the Pack can turn things around before conference play? What changes would you want to see? #Sports #NCState #Auburn00Share
EchoingEagle+FollowNC State basketball’s perimeter problemAuburn’s Kevin Overton just lit up NC State for 29 points, continuing a trend that’s becoming hard to ignore—perimeter players are having huge games against the Wolfpack. Overton, who hadn’t scored more than 13 all season, went off from deep, and he’s not the first. Seton Hall and Texas guards also torched NC State from outside in recent matchups. Even with forced turnovers, NC State’s defense just isn’t holding up against sharpshooters. With a tough non-conference stretch ahead, it feels like the team’s tournament hopes are already on the line. What do you think needs to change for the Pack to turn things around? #Sports #NCState #CollegeBasketball00Share
