By J.P. Giglio
News & Observer
COLUMBUS, Ohio- N.C. State University hasn’t had any problem playing with good teams this season, just beating them.
That changed on Sunday in the third round of the NCAA tournament, just when the Wolfpack needed it most. With one of its best defensive efforts of the season, and 14 points from Scott Wood, 11th-seeded N.C. State beat 3rd-seeded Georgetown 66-63 in the 3rd round of the NCAA tournament.
The win gives the NCSU Wolfpack (24-12), and first-year coach Mark Gottfried, a spot in the Midwest Regional in St. Louis in the round of 16, N.C. State’s first Sweet 16 trip since 2005 and only second since 1989.
North Carolina State, coached by Jim Valvano, won the NCAA national title with a 54-52 victory in the final game over Houston in 1983.
