Stop me if you heard this one before – but after building a solid first half lead, the Wolfpack offense goes into a coma for the entire second half, losing 72-64.

As we all know, NC State is 1-4 in ACC play. If one is an optimist, one sees a slight chance to secure an NIT bid if NC State drastically improves its performance. But if not now, when? In State’s next 5 ACC games, we play UNC twice and Wake once. [...]

Frank Haith’s Miami Hurricanes beat Clemson, 75-72, today in a key ACC match-up that may ultimately serve to support NC State’s slim chances to earn an NCAA Tournament bid when the 2007-2008 college basketball regular season comes to a close.
