The men’s basketball team improved to 4-0 with a 79-52 win over UNC Greensboro Sunday in the RBC Center. Senior small forward Courtney Fells led all scorers with 22 points and senior forward Ben McCauley added 17 points and 15 rebounds as the Wolfpack trailed only once in the game. State allowed just 11 offensive rebounds to the Spartans, a team that was averaging 17 entering the game.”We want to limit our opponents to only one shot. All the big men are really taking the initiative to getting after it—make sure the ball is ours on the defensive end,” McCauley said. “When we can hold our opponents to only one shot and get those defensive rebounds, we can get out and run and get some easy baskets like we did.”Junior Mikko Koivisto, a guard from Finland, led the Spartans with 18 points a game coming into Sunday. But the pack held Koivisto and UNC-G to just 2-15 from the three-point line.”We knew they were a good three-point shooting team, so we just wanted to just come out and limit their totals from outside and make them be more creative with the dribble,” Fells said. Redshirt junior point guard Farnold Degand remained on the bench for Sunday’s game with an injury, and sophomore Javi Gonzalez, who had seven assists, started at point. Coach Sidney Lowe said Degand is healthy to play, but he wanted to give him additional time to recover since he had not yet returned to practice. “I thought about putting him in the game, just to get him some contact prior to going down to Davidson,” Lowe said. “I didn’t want to put him in there and then [he gets injured].”Ten players saw more than 11 minutes of playing time, and the Pack got a big boost from sophomore forward Tracy Smith off the bench. Smith recorded 14 points and four rebounds in just 15 minutes of playing time. Smith said he was confident he can score against any opponent.”Well I don’t think nobody can guard me in the post. Ben, he’s an excellent passer, but me, I just score,” Smith said. “I think I can do it against anybody. I’ll score or foul, one or the other.”Lowe said it is a luxury to have more than one go-to forwards in the post. “[Smith] certainly capable of scoring the ball in there,” Lowe said. “He’s been ready to play. Yeah, it is nice to have another player to continue with, to play the way you want to play.”Lowe said he was particularly happy about one statistic after the game — 22 assists compared to the Spartan’s eight.”We’re moving the ball. We’re playing unselfish. Early, we took a couple of quick threes, quick shots, but I think we settled in and started to move the ball around.”State’s next game will be against Davidson College in Bobcat Arena next Saturday at noon.
