The Wolfpack showed strong defensive pressure, flying around the court and accumulating 39 rebounds, 20 steals, and four blocks, which led to 24 points off turnovers. Moving forward, NC State can improve its shooting percentage from the field (33-for-67), beyond the arc (4-for-14), and at the free-throw line (10-for-20), and reduce unnecessary turnovers (9). Up next for the Wolfpack, they travel to the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C., to face #14 Kentucky Wildcats in the Ally Tip-Off event on Sunday, November 8th, at 3:00pm.
