TIM PEELER: Whittington Leads Pack into WNIT Semi-finals

The best way to describe Khadijah Whittington's last three games for NC State women's basketball? She's playing like someone who doesn't want her career to end. “Exactly,” said the senior from Roanoke, Va. “At the very least, I want to end my career on a good note.” There wasn't much good to Whittington's first two post-season games this year. Like the rest of the team, she did not play well in the Wolfpack's brief appearance in the ACC Tournament, a 65-60 loss to Clemson, a team the Wolfpack had beaten by 32 points a week earlier. In the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament, after an 18-day layoff, Whittington was perhaps the rustiest of the Wolfpack players, missing 12 of her first 14 shots, as NC State fell behind by double-digits to South Carolina. But something clicked in the second half against the Gamecocks, and when Nikitta Gartrell cut the Gamecock lead to just one point with less than two minutes to play, Whittington decided she needed to make something happen.
