Wolfpack take down Wake Forest

The NC State Wolfpack beat No 7 Wake Forest tonight in the RBC center 82-76.  The Wolfpack merely gave up a 20 point lead and somehow pulled out a victory.  The Wolfpack were up by about 20 with 10 minutes in the game, a familiar feeling, just about the time the Deacons began to charge back.  With a little over a minute left on the clock and state only up by 2, McCauley gets fouled and hits one of his shots.  Wake comes back down the court and answers with nothing, Javi grabs a rebound and gets fouled.  He hits both of his, followed by another Wake missed 3-pointer and then a foul with one more free throw by Costner.  Fans rushed the court and the place went wild.  But of course the world could not see the game, unless you were in the RBC Center or payed to watch it on ACC pay-per-view, its really nice to see NC State pull out an upset and stick it to Wake.

What went right?
Free throw shooting, state shot great from the line.
Great play by Costner and McCauley, both had huge games.
Finally stopped the big man, I have been talking about it all season and finally the Wolfpack answer and stop Teague who finished with 11 points.

What went wrong?
Seriously, it happened again, we gave up a 20 point lead with 10 minutes left in the game.
The ACC, for not making this game televised and making fans pay to watch it. Thanks Mitches for playing the game.

Whats next?
850 the buzz, better stick to its word and cover the NC State upset over the result of the UNC-Duke game on Thursday AM. NC State will go to Georgia to take on GA Tech on Saturday at 1:30pm.
