If you’ve paid attention to the wider world of college athletics, then maybe you’ve noticed that NC State seems to beat Pittsburgh all the time. Not literally ALL the time, but really frequently, and regardless of which team is favored, no matter the sport. It’s weird.
Where did this begin? Some may argue that the roots are in football, that they date back to 2009. I’m not so sure. Pitt wasn’t in the ACC then, and when these schools did finally meet as conference opponents in a major sport, it was Pitt that prevailed, in men’s basketball, in early 2014.
