N.C. State leads Norfolk State 38-25 at halftime

RALEIGH—After a week-long break for finals, the Wolfpack showed definite signs of rust in the first half against Norfolk State. Despite their struggles, the No. 25 Wolfpack went into the break with a 38-25 lead.

Lorenzo Brown was a prefect 5-for-5 from the field for a team-high 12 points. Brown also added four assists and three steals. Richard Howell was close to notching his fourth double-double in five games, finishing the half with eight points and nine rebounds.

N.C. State opened the game with a 14-4 lead, as Norfolk State shot 2-of-11 (18.2 percent) from the floor. Slowly, though, the Spartans found their stroke. At the same time, the Wolfpack’s offense suffered breakdown after breakdown.

In the middle of the first half, N.C. State had this offensive stat line, in order: turnover, C.J. Leslie air ball, Leslie offensive foul, turnover, two missed free throws by Leslie, turnover, turnover.

The Spartans climbed to within one at 23-22 with 7:00 remaining in the half. N.C. State closed the half on a 15-3 run.

We're a pretty good team. People freaked out at first - but you realize we lost AT #2 MICHIGAN by single digits.

Can't wait to sweep the NIT-bound Heels this year!!

There's your typical delusional State fan. You haven't won anything meaningful since people were playing with Ataris and now you're ready to talk smack.
