The oddsmakers overreacted to the Cardinals’ 55-point demolition of Pitt by establishing them as 16-point favorites here. The public has wisely moved the spread down, but the Wolfpack remain an alluring play. Louisville’s Tony Hicks broke his hand in that game, leaving the home team down two backcourters with Quentin Snider (hip) still out. N.C. State’s last game -- a win at Duke -- was impressive on its own merits.
