N.C. State keeps magical March Madness run alive with 67-58 win over Marquette

Associated Press  

DALLAS — DJ Horne blew kisses to the crowd and blew off the notion of North Carolina State as a Cinderella. Horne scored 19 points and N.C. State kept its magical NCAA Tournament run alive, beating Marquette 67-58 on Friday night to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 1986. “And we weren’t quite good enough on the defensive end to get that done with the shooting night that we had.” Kam Jones scored 20 points and point guard Tyler Kolek had 17 points and 10 rebounds as a Big East team lost for the first time in eight games in this tournament. “We don’t have another game to prepare for.” N.C. State found the same balance that led to five players leading the team in scoring during the current winning streak. “We’re going to keep trying to crash the party.” The finish of the first half said it all as the Golden Eagles finished with a season low in points.
