Three Points from N.C. State's 82-80 win over UNC-Asheville:

1) All wins are not created equal

A win is a win is a win, except when it isn't. N.C. State finished the game with more points than UNC-Asheville on Friday but it wasn't the better team.

And it certainly wasn't the best team in the ACC, as it was predicted to be before the season started, or even the confident team that rolled Miami (Ohio) in the previous game on its home court.
