Men’s Basketball: NC State 76 Dayton 64: BOX SCORE
NC State followed up a hard-fought loss to #3 Kansas with a very impressive win over a strong Dayton team. Jarkel Joiner led NC State with a season-high 27 points and Jack Clark led all Wolfpack players with 9 rebounds. State outrebounded the Flyers 34-28. Here is the box score. 
Georgia Transfer Center Frank Anselem-Ibe (6’10″/215) was in for a visit to NC State yesterday, according to a source.
Anselm-Ibe was at Georgia the past two seasons, and was at Syracuse the two before that.
Back in 2020, Anselm-Ibe was a 4-Star prospect out of Prolific Prep in Georgia. 247Sports ranked him as the #18 player in the state of Georgia.
Anselm-Ibe hit the Portal on April 30th.
ECU Power Forward Transfer Ezra Ausar took an Official Visit to NC State a little over a week ago, and while things were looking good at first, at this point, it seems like things have reached a point of radio silence. From what I’m hearing, NC State would definitely take Ausar, but they aren’t going to wait for him either.

I agree with Afterglow… Smith played a sloppy game. EIGHT turnovers!
Thomas played a good game. Glad to see him come on.
Boy was I glad to see Mahoric return. Burns played well but he really needed a breather and Mahoric came back in with a vengeance.
Joiner is special. What a portal prize he has turned out to be.
Agree Joiner is special. He’s also doing a great job taking advantage when Smith is commanding of a lot of the defense’ attention. And Morsell as well. Joiners mid range pull up is deadly.
All three guards are playing really good defense and being disruptive.
It was nice to see LJ be solid when spelling Joiner. He’s really strong with the ball and not phased at all at the task.
Clark is finding his special place on the team as well.
We have so much good stuff to talk about this team, its really fun.
I am glad Smith came back so don’t take this negatively. Like I’ve said before, in the games I’ve seen this year, it often feels like he tries to do too much. But moreover, he seems to be playing sloppy. Some of the mistakes he made today were headscratchers, like dangerous cross court passes, not taking care of the ball, or over dribbling. I know it’s early but thought I’d just mention it. I know with Seabron I thought the same thing but that was more a function of him catching up with his own speed. Maybe it’s some of… Read more »
Smith is asked to make plays, and he is certainly doing that. I’m not sure where the right balance for him is between carefulness and fearlessness, but it seems the latter is what makes him a great player. 8 turnovers is too many, but 6 assists is pretty awesome against that defense, in a game where Joiner had no assists. We were trying to play fast on offense to keep them from bogging us down, and that means multiple attempts at beating your defender on drives. I thought all our guards including Smith played really good defense overall. If our… Read more »
Playing Butler means playing Manny. Not sure I want to do that. Tired legs makes it difficult to hit threes.
