Valvano Rule Backfires As NC State Falls To Louisville
No. 6 NC State faltered 83-79 as Louisville used a late double free throw sequence to beat the Wolfpack. Charles Jones, 45 percent shooter, redeemed a 1-for-10 night by sinking key free throws in the final minute. Louisville coach Denny Crum criticized the final two minute rule, calling for change. Lancaster Gordon led Louisville with 25 points while Lorenzo Charles posted a career-high 29 for NC State. Numerous ranked teams won other early-season tournaments around the country.
