Lubin's Perfect Night Powers NC State Past Campbell

The dominant opener gives new coach Justin Gainey a confident start that highlights the Wolfpack's shooting and bench depth.

Overview

NC State beat Campbell 83-64 in the season opener on Monday night to record Justin Gainey's first win as the program's 22nd head coach.
Ven-Allen Lubin did not miss a shot, finishing 8-for-8 with 20 points, three 3-pointers and 10 rebounds for a double-double.
The Wolfpack seized control with a long first-half run that turned a close game into a 41-19 halftime lead and led the game with 54 percent shooting.
Reserves Christian Hammond (14 points, six assists), Paul McNeil Jr. (11) and Preston Edmead (10) supplied key scoring that underscored the roster's depth.
Campbell was paced by Rashawn Inglemon (20) and Lance Waddles (19) but could not recover, and both teams move quickly to more nonconference games this week.
