North Carolina St vs Duke - 3/02/18

[LETTERL]

Chelsea Nelson's 22 rebounds were an ACC Tournament record, topping the 21 rebounds gathered by Clemson's Barbara Kennedy in both the 1981 and 1982 ACC Tournaments.

I had to drive to a work meeting after the first quarter...but found that SiriusXM had the IMG radio brodcast. I just about beat my steering wheel to death everytime I heard "(name a player for NCState) missed the easy layup", which was a lot! I'm just thrilled to have the win. Huge win for NC State! (Sorry, TriadDukeFan...NC State really needed this one).

Greenwell 5 of 19! Brown only marginally less bad. Tough.

Rough game for Duke. This could be the game that keeps them from hosting. Tough to say, though.

When the sum of the two teams’ shooting percentages is only 56, that’s pretty ugly. NC State wins the accuracy contest at 29%. Eek!

That one hadn't occurred to me. I was thinking a combined 32 field goals and 19 assists is less than UConn gets on average.

I saw most of the game, and the defense was good but nothing exceptional. It was just two sputtering offenses.

On a related note, I showed up for work this morning only to find out we were closed due to wind. That would never have occurred to me unless there was rain too (i. e., a hurricane). I put in half a day, then realized this was a great day to be home from work.
