Survive and advance? NC State tops No. 11 Duke 74-69; 10th-seeded Wolfpack headed to ACC semis

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — DJ Horne scored 18 points, including two clutch free throws with 15 seconds left, and North Carolina State ousted No. “When you look at those three games that we played, honestly, we’ve looked like the more fresh team than anybody.” Duke heads into the NCAAs on a sour note after dropping its regular-season finale at home to rival North Carolina and then losing its ACC Tournament opener after receiving a bye into the quarterfinals. Jared McCain made a technical foul shot for Duke, and although N.C. State received possession, Mohamed Diarra missed two free throws and Filipowski cut the lead to two with a layup. “We just have to want it more than any other team that we play against.” BIG PICTURE N.C. State: Don’t look now, but the Wolfpack are surviving and advancing.
