Sidney Lowe's Wolfpack basketball team worked to rid itself of some of the off-season rust tonight in an exhibition game against Pfeiffer, and the highly regarded freshman class did not disappoint in a 111-73 victory.
Guards Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown- who started tonight at shooting guard, and forward C.J. Leslie scored 17 points each for the Pack. The chemistry between the three was outstanding, as they wowed the 6400 plus fans who showed up to watch at historic Reynolds Coliseum. To go along with their 17 points, Harrow and Brown recorded eight and six assists respectively, and Leslie pulled down seven rebounds.
Wolfpack senior Tracy Smith also added 17 points, grabbed five rebounds, blocked three shots, and snagged four steals as he was able to play more of his natural power forward position, instead of center where he spent most of last season.
NC State never trailed as it overpowered an undersized opponent, and while they won by 38, they have a lot to improve on- specifically on defense and rebounding the basketball. These things will come in time as they get feel for for facing bigger teams.
The Pack will have their first regular season game Friday night against Tennessee Tech, 7pm at the RBC Center.
