Seton Hall/NC State Box Score
Notes: In a disappointing loss to Seton Hall 83-65, the Wolfpack just didn't show up. Uncharacteristically, the Pack managed only 10 assists against 16 turnovers and shot only 38% from the field. Herb Sendek noted after the game that is was a problem with desire, which points directly at Sendek for not preparing his team.
