Wolfpack stumbles through another blowout, faces uncertain future

Posted Feb 16, 2017
After sending N.C. State's Omer Yurtseven flying with a pump fake, UNC forward Luke Maye got in one dribble and threw down a dunk that no team that was invested in playing defense would have allowed. This should have been a jarring sight. But for a Wolfpack team that's already seen its season crater thanks in part to hapless defense, it somehow wasn't. (Fayetteville Observer)
