RALEIGH, N.C. — The Wolfpack men’s basketball team in Raleigh, N.C., goes for a 3-0 start Tuesday night when it welcomes Presbyterian to the Lenovo Center. The ball goes up at 7 p.m., with the game streaming on ACC Network Extra.

The Wolfpack are coming off a Friday rally against ETSU. They were down 52-42 with about 15 minutes to play, then ripped off a 15-0 run and outscored the Bucs 35-11 the rest of the way to win 77-63.

Sophomore guard Preston Edmead ran the show in that one by scoring 20, dishing a career-best 10 assists and committing zero turnovers. Only two other players in school history had put up at least 20 points and 10 assists without a turnover in the same game. Paul McNeil Jr. chipped in 16 points and Christian Hammond added 13.

In the opener against Campbell, Ven-Allen Lubin had a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds and did not miss a shot, going 8-for-8 from the floor.

Outside shooting has been a strength again. The Pack have hit 24 threes through two games at a 41.4 percent clip, after a 2025-26 season in which they made a school-record 348 shots from beyond the arc.

The Blue Hose arrive at 0-2. A year ago Presbyterian finished 15-18 overall and won just three times on the road, though it shot 47.5% from the field. NC State went 20-14 last season and 11-6 at home.

History is on the side of the home team. Since the 2016-17 season the Pack are 75-4 at home in the regular season when facing teams from outside the ACC. It is also early in the tenure of first-year coach Justin Gainey, a former Wolfpack player who was named the 22nd head coach in program history in March.
