BILLIKENS escape WOLFPACK...and BISON trample Boomer SOONER....5 Seed vs 12 Seed MADNESS continues in CAMPUS HARDWOOD "March Madness" #NCSUvsSTL #NDSTvsOK

The St. Louis Billikens were dead to right and somehow rights the ship as the NC State Wolfpack played not to lose instead of playing to win down the stretch. The Billikens down 65-57 at the 1:30 mark in the 2nd half just kept fouling and scoring as the Wolfpack kept missing from the line as this game was a classic case of how not to finish in the Big Dance with a sizable lead.
