NC State Wolfpack vs Texas Tech Red Raiders — First Round 2024
80–67First Round
About This Game
Eleventh-seeded NC State arrived at the tournament fresh off an exhausting ACC Tournament sprint—five games in five days—but rather than showing signs of fatigue, the Wolfpack looked reinvigorated. Dismissing concerns about their grueling preparation, NC State dismantled sixth-seeded Texas Tech 80-67 with a commanding inside-out attack that exposed the Red Raiders' size limitations. Ben Middlebrooks delivered a career-high 21 points while working the paint with confidence, while Burns (16 points) and Mo Diarra (17 points, 12 rebounds) formed an unstoppable trio in the post. The Wolfpack's depth proved crucial: when Burns faced foul trouble early, Middlebrooks stepped seamlessly into the void, showcasing the balance that had propelled them to six consecutive victories.
Texas Tech couldn't establish defensive rhythm against NC State's post dominance. The Red Raiders shot just 17-for-57 from the field and managed only seven three-pointers, signaling their inability to contain the Wolfpack's core strengths. NC State's 36 rebounds and 21 made free throws painted a picture of control—they dictated intensity and pace throughout. For a program ending a nine-year March drought, this performance erased doubts about whether late-season struggles and the tournament gauntlet might derail their unexpected run.
