QUICK TAKES: Hot-Shooting Pack Rolls Lions, 89-78

NC State pulled away in the second half to knock off Penn State, 89-78, at the Board Walk Classic in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 

The Wolfpack improves to 9-1 on the season and a showdown with No. 8 Auburn on Wednesday (7 PM) at PNC Arena. 

HIGHLIGHTS

Tempo

NC State was able to control the tempo against a team that had no interest in running. That is a skillset the Wolfpack will need, both in conference against Virginia and on the national scene in potential postseason matchups.
