Md 65, NC State 57

It was Senior Night and Hoops for Hope at NC State, and the Wolfpack played with a great deal of heart and emotion. If it weren't for their poor shooting (33%), they might have pulled it out, as Maryland, which had flashes of brilliance, also had a lot of sloppy play, including something like 11 TOs in the first half.

But when Harp and Lang got clicking inside, there was no stopping them. And add a double/double from Coleman, nice shooting by Toliver, and 9 assists from Doron, and that was the game.

Good effort particularly by Whittington for NC State.

how many points did shay have? is 9 assists a career high? did she get those 6 FTs she needs to break the all time record? thanks

[Lior]

ok ESPN put up the boxscore. I see Shay had an off game but the question remains about those 9 assists.. I can't remember if she ever had 10

It should be a record-setting day on Thursday. Shay needs 1 free throw to break the school record and Lang needs 6 points for 1,000

BTW, Shay had 10 assists vs Monmouth and 13 assists vs. Arizona.

Event was great, result not so much.

Brenda Frese (and her team) is a class act for raising $ for Hoops for Hope. Maryland should go far (hope we don't meet them down the road ). They were comparable to when we played Duke and UNC.

So many steals/chances, so few baskets. During the first half, I thought Langhorne/Harper looked weak enough that we had a shot. After some 3s (Toliver, etc...?) it seemed like we just deflated, and Harper just ran over us. Toliver and Doron have great communication and timing with their teammates, they're a strong pair.
