(AP) — Ven-Allen Lubin recorded a double-double, Darius Adams scored 16 points and N. State beat Campbell 83-64 in a season opener on Monday night.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — In a season opener on Monday night, Ven-Allen Lubin delivered a standout performance, scoring 20 points on 8-for-8 shooting with three 3-pointers and grabbing 10 rebounds for N.C. State. Darius Adams added 16 points, while the Wolfpack secured an 83-64 victory over Campbell. The Fighting Camels began the game strong, taking an early 7-1 lead.
However, Lubin's double-double and Adams' scoring helped NC State take control after halftime, outscoring Campbell 23-3 and leading 41-19. Lubin's 20-point, 10-rebound effort marked a significant contribution as N.C. State kicked off its season under new head coach Justin Gainey. Gainey, a former Wolfpack point guard, was appointed the 22nd head coach of the program on March 31.
The team now heads to Kalamazoo, Michigan, to face Western Michigan on Sunday, followed by a home game against East Tennessee State on Friday.
