For North Carolina State women’s basketball coach Wes Moore, Friday night’s game at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was a sweet homecoming.
For first-year UTC coach Katie Burrows and the Mocs, it was yet another bump in a very rough stretch of the season.
Freshman Elissa Cunane scored 19 points as the 10th-ranked Wolfpack started fast and cruised to a 78-58 victory in Moore’s return to UTC, where he coached from 1998 to 2013.
“It’s great to be back in Chattanooga,” Moore said. “I love this university, I love this city and I love the people most of all.
“I’ve been in here a lot of times when the visiting team went home with their tail between their legs, so I know how tough it is to get a win here.”
