Episode Description

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss NC State's win over UNC last night.

The NC State Wolfpack men's basketball defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball 82-58 last night in a dominant rivalry matchup in Raleigh. The Wolfpack jumped out to an early lead and controlled the game from start to finish, earning their largest win over UNC since 1962 with a 24-point margin. UNC struggled offensively throughout the night, shooting just over 31% from the field and 15% from three-point range and was without key players due to injury (Caleb Wilson, Henri Veesaar). The victory served as a major statement win for NC State as they continue to build momentum late in the season. Can the Heels bounce back from this loss?
