The school recap, the official box and the Associated Press all list that final. The box puts the crowd at 11,764. Presbyterian scored 19, then 41. The Wolfpack scored 46, then 48. NC State is 3-0 and 0-0 in the ACC. Presbyterian is 0-3 and 0-0 in the Big South. The athletics page lists a 7 p.m. tip.
Tuesday was the Presbyterian visit named in this site's ETSU recap. The season opener is the Campbell file. Two other Triangle results from the same night are the UNC win over Wyoming and Duke's loss to Michigan State.
How the lead grew
NC State's recap says a 17-3 run put the Wolfpack ahead 19-7 with 11:09 left in the first half. A Blue Hose basket with 7:12 remaining made it 27-16. From there the Pack did not allow another Presbyterian field goal before intermission, and a 19-3 close made it 46-19 at the break.
The Associated Press describes a different early burst, an 18-5 run finished by a Darius Adams three-pointer, and the same 46-19 halftime score. That 18-5 line stays the wire's. It is not written over the 17-3 and 19-3 runs on the school page.
Presbyterian started the second half with a 13-0 run. The recap says a three-pointer with 15:58 left cut the margin to 14, at 46-32. NC State then scored 25 points to the visitors' 7 over the next five minutes.
The box has the Blue Hose at 6 of 24 from the field before the break, and 0 of 6 from three, a 25.00 percent half. The Associated Press prints that same 6-of-24 line and the six missed threes.
Who scored
Ven-Allen Lubin had 21 points and 10 rebounds. The box lists 10 of 17 shots, no three-point attempts and 1 of 2 free throws, in 26 minutes. The Associated Press calls 21 a season high and lists the same 10 of 17. The school write-up calls the 21 and 10 his second double-double this season and the 20th of his career.
Paul McNeil Jr. had 12 points and 12 rebounds. The sheet shows 4 of 13 from the field, 3 of 10 from three and 1 of 1 at the line, in 28 minutes. The athletics recap calls those 12 rebounds a career best and the line his second career double-double. The wire also lists 12 and 12.
Zymicah Wilkins had 13 points and 7 rebounds in 13 minutes. He made 4 of 7 shots and 5 of 7 free throws, with no threes attempted. The school write-up calls both totals career highs.
Christian Hammond scored 13, on 5 of 9 and 3 of 5 from three, with no free-throw attempts, in 26 minutes. Darius Adams scored 12, on 4 of 9, 2 of 4 from three and 2 of 2 at the line. The Associated Press also has Hammond at 13 and Adams at 12. It says McNeil and Hammond each made three of the Wolfpack's 10 threes. The box matches that split: McNeil 3 of 10 from deep, Hammond 3 of 5, and the team 10 of 27.
Triston Wilson led Presbyterian with 14. The box lists 4 of 11 from the field, 0 of 2 from three, 6 of 7 at the line and 5 rebounds, in 31 minutes. The Associated Press also lists 14 points for him.
The glass, and Friday
The Pack won the rebounding battle 52-32 and had 20 offensive rebounds. Both numbers are on the recap and on the box. The recap says those 20 offensive boards are the most for an NC State team since 23 on Dec. 1, 2021, against Nebraska in four overtimes, and the most in a game that ended in regulation since 20 on Nov. 20, 2014, in a 79-43 win over Jacksonville.
Paint points were 50-30, and bench points were 41-20, in the recap. The box summary agrees. NC State had the 50 and the 41. Presbyterian had the 30 and the 20.
For the night the box has NC State at 36 of 73, printed as 49.32 percent, with 10 of 27 from three and 12 of 17 at the line. The recap's team rate of .493 matches 36 of 73. Presbyterian shot 21 of 56, 37.50 percent, made 4 of 16 threes and 14 of 28 free throws. The Associated Press prints 38 of 73 for the Wolfpack. Thirty-eight is not the attempt total on the sheet, so the figure here is 36 of 73.
The wire says NC State has won all four meetings in the series. The school recap does not print a series record, so the four-game line stays with the Associated Press.
Friday, Nov. 13, NC State hosts Troy at 7 p.m. at the Lenovo Center, on ACC Network. The time and the network are the school recap. The Associated Press says the next game is at home against Troy on Friday and does not list a clock.
