SOUTH BEND, IN- The NC State men’s basketball team defeated Notre Dame 80-69 inside of the Joyce Center Wednesday night to run its winning streak to five consecutive games.

Junior forward Jericole Hellems also reached double figures with 13 points and six rebounds.
Notre Dame took its one and only lead on the first basket of the game, but the Pack answered with nine straight to take an early 9-2 advantage. A three pointer from Notre Dame’s junior guard Prentis Hubb would tie it 11-11 at 13:11 left in the opening half, but Braxton Beverly would answer with a bucket on the Pack’s ensuing possession and Notre Dame would never draw even again.

The Pack would maintain a double-digit advantage until the final minute when NC State missed the front end of three consecutive 1-and-1 opportunities which helped propel Notre Dame to a 12-0 run to get within seven with 1:20 to play. The Pack would calm the run though, getting a back-to-back defensive stops and scoring the final four points of the game.
NC State has now won five consecutive ACC road games, the most consecutive road wins for the program since the 1973-74 season.
