Richmond comes into this game vs NC State with a 6-4 record. The Spiders have early-season wins over Hofstra, Wofford, and Toledo, with notable losses to Maryland and Mississippi State.
NC State is now 5-1 after their 90-81 win over Louisiana Tech, who Ken Pom was rating as a Top-100 team. So yeah, this was a good win for this NC State team, who itself is now ranked 60th overall by Ken Pom.
Plenty of offense in this one. Jericole Hellems and the NC State offense showed up in a big way this afternoon, and good thing, too, because Louisiana Tech was pretty darn good as well.
Hoops? Hoops. We are less than two weeks from the start of basketball season, so maybe it’s time to start talking about it. (Content warning: NC State basketball.) I know, I’m scared too.
