Not surprisingly, junior Tracy Smith was NC State's biggest scorer in Thursday night's preseason exhibition game against St. Paul's at Reynolds Coliseum. The 6-foot-9 forward was, after all, the tallest starter on the court.
He had 21 points in less than 25 minutes of action to lead all scorers in the 84-42Wolfpack victory.
Ten of Smith's points came in the first 10 minutes of the second half, when he completely out-sized and out-classed the smaller Division II opponent, which did not have a player taller than 6-foo-4 on its roster.
NC State takes care of St. Paul's, 84-42. Scott Wood hit 4 threes in the first half.

they missed 53 shots
We had 39 defensive boards. 19/58 = an offensive rebounding percentage of 32.8. Not a great job on the defensive glass by the Pack, but that’s certainly not bad. Considering how short St. Paul’s is, though…
Ah, the value of tempo-free stats
People on other boards are melting down about the apparent offensive rebounding disparity… neglecting to look into the impact of missing a ton of shots on the raw numbers.
Well-done, as always…
