#PackMadness: Wolfpack Advances Past LSU 66-65
3/19/2015 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
BeeJay Anya hit a jumper in the lane with 0.1 remaining to send NC State to the Round of 32, defeating LSU 66-65. After trailing by 16 at halftime, the Wolfpack came storming back in the second half to win.
Anya scored the Pack's final four points to complete the comeback. He tipped in a missed jumper to bring State within one point, and then drained a left-handed hook for the game winner.
Gott Said It: "We wanted to stay positive and keep fighting. We took away a lot of their second-chance points and dunks they were getting in the first half. I think the important thing was our guys stayed positive, they competed and they didn't get down on each other. They kept fighting all the way to the end."
Anthony 'Cat' Barber led the team in scoring with 17 points. Abdul-Malik Abu added 13 points, while Ralston Turner scored 10 points against his former team. Trevor Lacey added nine points and led rebounding efforts with nine.
