The Pack shot extremely well from the perimeter, knocking down 13 three-pointers and using that efficiency to offset BC’s physical play inside. Darrion Williams led NC State with 22 points, including four threes, while Terrance Arceneaux scored 12 off the bench and Matt Able added 11 points. Quadir Copeland chipped in 10 rebounds, helping NC State win the battle on the glass. Was this a good win for NC State?
