NC State rolls past Presbyterian. Observations from the Wolfpack's big win

The N.C. State coaching staff watched film from its Friday night win immediately, unhappy with the defensive performance against a mid-major opponent. It had no such issues with the start on Tuesday night. The Wolfpack, led by senior Ven-Allen Lubin, jumped out to a double-digit lead eight minutes into the game and only extended that before halftime. They used a 19-3 run to build a 27-point lead before the break. N.C. State (3-0) pulled away in the second half for a 94-60 win over Presbyterian, its visitor from the Big South Conference. The win wasn’t without issues, though. The Wolfpack didn’t have the same hot start in the second, shooting 0 for 9 from the field and 0 for 4 from deep. Presbyterian (0-3) used that drought to its advantage and opened the half on a 13-0 run. N.C. State head coach Justin Gainey called a timeout when that run reached 10-0, hoping to get this team back on track. It gave up a 3-pointer from Presbyterian’s Carl Parrish before guard Christian Hammond ended the drought with back-to-back 3-pointers. “Our offense didn’t help our defense in that stretch, and we had a couple turnovers,” Gainey said. “We missed a couple

NC State a three-point underdog to Syracuse

So it’s come to this. Your season is so far off the rails that you’re an underdog at home to a 4-5 Syracuse team. That’s rough, man. And it’s hardly an unjustified line, given recent results, though SP+ actually likes NC State by a field goal instead.

What to watch at UNC and NC State boards of trustees meetings this week

Hello reader! Welcome to Higher Stakes , your source for North Carolina’s higher education news. I’m reporter Jane Winik Sartwell . It’s going to be a big week. Both the UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State trustees are meeting. The fallout from the disturbing Sigma Nu hazing investigation continues to unfold. St. Augustine’s , the historically Black university in Raleigh, faces a deadline to explain how it plans to exit bankruptcy. I’ll be focused all week on bringing you the latest on these stories. Stay tuned. For now, here’s a preview of what to expect at those trustees meetings. What to expect from UNC’s trustees Protocol for campus-wide centers and institutes could be changing. A proposed policy could expand the provost’s control over the launch of new centers, who sits on committees that handle their periodical reviews, and their discontinuation or reclassification. Earlier this year, the abrupt closure and consolidation of six centers focused on international studies brought this issue to the fore. Academic program review could now consider cost. A presentation on the Academic Program Review Refresh Project says that the initiative allows the university to tell whether “cost of instruction is aligned with student demand.” Trustee Marty Kotis previously

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel
