RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State men's basketball team (3-0) dominated Presbyterian Tuesday night, defeating the Blue Hose, 94-60, inside the Lenovo Center.
The Pack finished the game with a 52-32 advantage in rebounding over Presbyterian and grabbed 20 offensive rebounds.
The 20 offensive rebounds are the most for an NC State team since the Pack had 23 on Dec. 1, 2021 in a four overtime win over Nebraska. It's the most offensive rebounds for an NC State team in a game that ended in regulation since Nov. 20, 2014 when the Pack had 20 in a 79-43 win over Jacksonville.
Ven-Allen Lubin led the Pack with 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season and 20th of his career.
Paul McNeil, Jr., added 12 points and a career-best 12 rebounds for his second career double-double.
Zymicah Wilkins had career-highs in points (13) and rebounds (7) in just 13 minutes of action.
Christian Hammond (13 points) and Darius Adams (12) also finished in double figures for the Pack.
NC State established control of the game early, going on a 17-3 run to take a 19-7 lead with 11:09 left until halftime.
A Presbyterian field goal with 7:12 left in the half got the Blue Hose within 11, 27-16, but the Pack didn't allow Presbyterian to make another field goal in the first half, closing the period on a 19-3 run to go into halftime with a 46-19 lead.
Presbyterian opened the second half on a 13-0 run, getting within 14, 46-32, on a three-pointer with 15:58 left in the game, but 25-7 run over the next five minutes to put the game out of reach.
NC State finished the game with a 50-30 advantage in points off turnovers and a 41-20 advantage in bench points.
The Pack finishes its four-game season-opening homestand Friday night when it hosts Troy. Tipoff against the Trojans is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised on the ACC Network.
