Cincinnati 80, NC State 71. Here’s the recap – warning – not for the faint of heart or young children. I would call it ugly/brutal, but that would be too kind.
This was, by far, the worst effort we have seen from NC State in the Sidney Lowe era. Aside from the continued offensive excellence of Ben McCauley, there isn’t much nice to say. The Pack finished just 3 shy of its all-time record for turnovers, set in 1972 vs. UNC. And if you want a scary thought, imagine how many TOs we could commit against the Tarheel press, if Roy doesn’t call of the dogs. Seriously, we might never cross midcourt.
