  "account": "RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — In a thrilling 77-63 victory over East Tennessee State, N.C. State showcased a strong second-half comeback, led by Preston Edmead's double-double and Paul McNeil Jr.'s impressive scoring. McNeil made a remarkable five out of NC State's 13 three-pointers, while the team made all 12 free throws they attempted. Christian Hammond contributed 16 points, marking the Wolfpack's second consecutive win under their new head coach Justin Gainey, a former point guard for the team from 1996 to 2000. Despite ETSU's early push with 14 points and five double-digit performances, NC State managed to rally back from a 48-38 halftime deficit. A 15-0 run, featuring McNeil, Eemeli Yalaho, and RJ Keene, put the Wolfpack ahead 57-52 midway through the second half. McNeil's key four-point play with three minutes left in the period gave the Wolfpack a 70-59 lead, followed by a 13-4 run that sealed the victory.",
