RALEIGH – The NC State men's basketball team earned a #STATEMENT 85-69 win over the No. 15/13 Miami Hurricanes on Saturday at PNC Arena. Anthony 'Cat' Barber was extraordinary once again, dropping 30 points on 10-for-18 shooting. Barber has scored 30 points or more five times this season and in three of the last four games.
Â
Key Stats: Barber made all 10 of his fouls shots to extend his consecutive makes streak to 34. Abdul-Malik Abu added 19 points, while Caleb Martin chipped in 13 off the bench.Â
Â
Four NC State players pulled down seven rebounds each, as the team outrebounded Miami 41-23. NC State also outscored the Hurricanes in the paint 34-20. The Pack shot .509 on the day, including a blistering .583 in the second half.
Â
Turning Point: Despite leading for the most of the contest, NC State's lead dwindled to just three points with 14:29 left in the game. The Wolfpack went on an 11-4 over the next three minutes to increase its lead to 56-46.
Â
Down the stretch, Miami pressed the Pack's lead again, this time pulling within 64-59 with 4:33 left to play. The Wolfpack answered once again, going on an 8-2 run to take a 12-point lead with 2:33 to go. After the run, NC State continued to pull away and led by as many as 18 points.
Gott Said It: "I'm really proud of our team. I liked our enthusiasm and energy. I liked it in practice the past two days and it carried over for us into the game. We beat a really good team. Miami is a really good basketball team. Watched them on tape almost every night and they are a hard team to guard because of the way they use ball screens. Our guys did a good job defending them and we finished the game really strong. Making foul shots, executing and sharing the ball. I'm certainly proud of the way they bounced back after the frustrating night on Wednesday. I liked our enthusiasm, that was the biggest thing."
Up Next: The Pack travels to Tallahassee, Fla., for its next game against Florida State. The game is slated for Feb. 1 at 9 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPNU.
