NC State Wolfpack defeat GA Tech in OT

The NC State Wolfpack defeated the Georgia Tech YellowJackets in OT on Saturday at the RBC Center 76-71. The win stopped a 11 game losing streak in ACC play and a 3 game losing streak this season. The Wolfpack still had problems in there backcourt, but got enough hard play out of its front court to pull out the win.

What is going right?
Costner and McCauley both played great against Georgia Tech, it was nice to see them both in double figures.
Ferg, finally came off of the bench and hit 3’s. Something we have been waiting for since the first preseason game.

What is going wrong?
Nothing decided yet on the point guard position. Looks like Degand will start against Duke, due to Mays scoreless and 6 turnover performance against GA Tech.
Fells has hit only 3-15 from behind the arc in the past 4 games.
We are beating ourselves with turnovers, averaging 14 a game this season.

Whats Next?
The NC State Wolfpack will take on the Duke Blue Devils in Cameron indoor on Tuesday night at 8pm. Duke has been forcing its opponents to 17 turnovers a game, this should really hurt the Wolfpack, who have been struggling to keep control of the ball. Javi will likely not play, sore ankle and lack of good play this season. Look for a starting line up of Degand, Fells, Ferg, McCauley and Costner to hit the court, we will need all the experience we have to battle the cameron crazies.
