RALEIGH, N.C. -- Freshman Braxton Beverly scored 16 points with five first-half 3-pointers, helping North Carolina State beat Boston College 82-66 on Tuesday night.
Allerik Freeman scored a team-high 20 points in the third straight win for the Wolfpack (19-9, 9-6 Atlantic Coast Conference). N.C. State had an awful start and missed its first eight shots, only to see its offense suddenly roar into gear and build a big margin by halftime.
The Wolfpack made 17 of 19 shots (.895) over the final 12 1/2 minutes of the half, including 13 in a row.
