NC State Basketball
WATCH: Same story, different day. NC State outlasted by Pitt 71-69
(ACC Digital Network) NC State vs. Pittsburgh: The Panthers won their second ACC game in a row with a 71-69 win over the Wolfpack. The win was Pitt’s first win over NC State since 2014. Pitt dominated the glass, out-rebounding NC State 45-25. John Hugley led the way for Pitt with a double-double. Hugley scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, plus he had six assists. Ithiel Horton and Jamarius Burton each scored 17 points. For NC State, Dereon Seabron led the Wolfpack with 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
This season has been brutal. Not that I expected any miracles in this game but man, at least a space to breathe with a win but nope, not gonna happen. And honestly, I want that breath of air for the players because they need something to latch onto. Oh well.
Yea, would love to see some positives so the players have some enthusiasm for next season. If we lose out – a definite possibility since we couldn’t even beat Pitt – it would be the worst season in Pack basketball history by a lot. Corrigan may decide to burn it down.
I dread the idea of starting over once again.
Corrigan stated he supported Keatts and seemed strong on the idea of keeping him. While things can change, I personally think it’d be a bad idea to let Keatts go at this point. Starting over would require so much more momentum than going forward with what we have, especially if we can hold onto the major pieces. But who knows?
