Herb Sendek coached a horrible game and had the Wolfpack ill
prepared for this game. His strategy of fouling the Pirates with
6 minutes to go when they were down 17 was ridiculous. Granted,
they had to full court press SHU but to purposely foul them with
that much time left completely backfired. They also fouled
Copeland most of the time and he is an excellent foul shooter.
So, poor scouting by the NC State staff also led them to defeat.
