The Pack dropped 100 points in the opener to beat Lynn 100-66.

If you only caught the first few minutes of the game, this may come as a surprise. State started off extremely slow and let Lynn get out to an early 10 point lead. This was due in large part to easy dribble penetration on defense and poor shot selection on offense. Let’s not forget, this was the first time this team has played together in real competition and many of the players that were on the court getting their first taste of college action.. Fortunately, the Pack was able to find their stride at the end of half, finishing with a 17-4 run and 14 point lead.

In the Second half, it looked as if the team was able to find their rhythm on both offense and defense. The Pack held Lynn to just under 10 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half, while the offense put up 33 points of its own in the same span.

The much hyped Dennis Smith Jr was able to live up to his billing in this one, going for a team-high 22 points. Mav Rowan was a close second with 17 points. Down low, Abu was an absolute beast, putting up 10 points and pulling down 15 rebounds. Overall, the Pack was just too big and too dominant for an undersized and young Lynn squad. The Wolfpack ended up with 5 separate players scoring double digits and out rebounded Lynn 56-37.
