NC State, with Mark Gottfried's job reportedly in peril, routed by North Carolina
Posted Feb 16, 2017
Amid reports coach Mark Gottfried will likely be fired after the season, NC State got smoked 97-73 by North Carolina in Raleigh on Wednesday, a sixth straight loss which turns up the heat more on an embattled coach. It wasn’t as bad as the 51-point loss to the Tar Heels on Jan. 12 -- the second most lopsided result in series history -- but this one might sting more.
