Morsell Scores 25 Despite Shooting Woes
Casey Morsell racked up 25 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 13-13 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Tuesday’s 94-85 win over Louisville. Morsell had a rough outing from the field, but the fact that he nailed his 13 shots from the charity stripe certainly helped his cause here. The Wolfpack now moves to the next round of the ACC Tournament, where they’ll take on Syracuse on Wednesday.
Mintz Extends Streak in Loss to Clemson
Judah Mintz totaled 20 points (8-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 40 minutes during Tuesday’s 90-75 loss to Clemson. Mintz delivered another impressive showing Tuesday, and even though efficiency has been lacking at times, it’s worth noting that Mintz has now scored at least 20 points in each of his last four appearances. Firmly entrenched as Syracuse’s main offensive weapon, Mintz will head into the ACC Tournament averaging 18.7 points per game for the Orange, an uptick over the 16.3 points per game he averaged as a freshman.
