One Notre Dame senior star didn’t play and another suffered a first-half leg injury that kept him on the bench after halftime.
Still, N.C. State looked overmatched in ACC play once again.
Notre Dame’s impressive early barrage of 3-pointers allowed it to open a 15-point first-half lead in n 88-58 ACC basketball win over the Wolfpack at Purcell Pavilion.
The Irish (12-3, 2-0) played their first game since preseason ACC player of the year, all-American forward Bonzie Colson, fractured his foot in practice. He was averaging 21.4 points and 10.4 rebounds.
