NC State's basketball team suffers another loss on the road, extending their streak to 10 consecutive defeats away from home. The Wolfpack, now on an eight-game losing streak overall, faces challenges in their bid for an NCAA Tournament berth. Their next game is against Louisville at home.
By the time Kevin Keatts and his eighth NC State basketball team battle fourth-year head coach Hubert Davis and the rival UNC Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Wednesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. ET , the Wolfpack will have gone over a year without a win on an opponent's home floor.Via Saturday night's 74-73 loss to the Stanford Cardinal , NC State ensured that skid length.
NC State tallied an 0-2 record in its latest trip to California, this time for true road games, adding to neutral-court losses to Purdue and BYU in San Diego back in late November. Losing skids of all varieties have sunk NC State basketball hopes of earning an at-large invite to the NCAA Tournament. That's old news now.
At this juncture, the most worrisome fact is Keatts' group faces the inescapable deflation that comes with being on an eight-game overall skid, the program's longest since Sidney Lowe and his Wolfpack ended their 2007-08 campaign on a nine-game losing streak. Next up for the wobbling Wolfpack is a home bout against the Louisville Cardinals in the Lenovo Center at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday .Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of NC State Wolfpack on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
