Strong Victories for NC State basketball
Shantel Jordan, Staff Writer
The North Carolina State Men’s Basket
ball team has had one of the toughest sched
ules this season. After completing the first half
of their ACC schedule, they were ninth in the
nation for conference strength. The Wolfpack
claimed their biggest victory back in January,
when they beat Duke with an impressive 87-75
win over the No. 2 Blue Devils.
However, N.C. State has had some
trouble on the road. One of their weaknesses
has been maintaining the lead while going up
against stronger defensive teams. Trevor Lacey
has been a staple to the team’s success show
ing great leadership and dedication. He is the
leading point scorer and has been playing with
what some have termed “ice in his veins.” His
tenacity was certainly highlighted after a buzz
er beating three-pointer in the game against
Georgia Tech on Jan. 3r. The team had a full
week off before taking on the Virginia Cavaliers
on Feb. 11, who are currently a ranked team.
Another big game for the Pack was
against Louisville. This is the first season we
have seen the Cardinals in the ACC and they are
maintaining a winning record. These tougher
match-ups have been an eye opener for the
younger guys, as well as, great motivation for
the team as a whole. N.C State only has five
games remaining in the regular season, three
of which are against ranked teams. With only
a handful of contests left, the Pack has two re
maining home games and they hit the road for
a three game stretch in between. Their upcom
ing match-up will be against Virginia Tech on
Feb. 21 at home. Let’s support our neighbors
down the road and head out to PNC Arena to
cheer on the Wolfpack. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.
