March Madness tipped off with the First Four, and almost as quickly as it began for N.C. State, the season was over.
Will Wade’s Wolfpack (20-14) lost to the Longhorns 68-66 after a big last-minute rally came up just short Tuesday night.
Down by nine, the Wolfpack rallied to tie the game with less than 20 seconds left on a Tre Holloman free throw. But Dailyn Swain hit an improbable jumper with 1.1 seconds left to lift the Longhorns to their second win over the Pack this season.
In November, N.C. State lost to Texas 102-97 in the Southwest Maui Invitational.
Darrion Williams led the way with 21 points in his final game for the Wolfpack. Quadir Copeland added 16.
