The Wolfpack, picked to win the ACC, had a chance to show the basketball world that it has arrived but instead fell at No. 3 Michigan 79-72 in the ACC-Big 10 Challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The Pack, now 4-2, trailed 73-58 before going on a 10-0 run to make it 73-68 with two minutes left. Down 75-70 with 54 seconds left, State forced a turnover and called timeout. State&#8217;s C.J. Leslie spun and scored but was called for an offensive foul negating the basket. Leslie and Pack coach Mark Gottfried were irate at the call which basically ended the comeback.<\/p>\n<p>T.J. Warren led the Wolfpack with 18 points and State shot 57 percent. Michigan, which forced State into a halfcourt game, improved to 6-0.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If that&#8217;s the third-best team in the country, and I believe they are, then we&#8217;re getting pretty close,&#8221; Gottfried said Gottfried. &#8220;We&#8217;re not a great team yet, but we can get there if we can improve.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N.C.
