State routed the Flagler Saints with a final score of 102-61 in its final dress rehearsal before its regular season opener against UNC-Asheville on Friday in the RBC Center.

“We did a lot of things well,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “We feel like we can improve quite a bit, but at the same time, we were very unselfish, moved the ball, got out on the break and had some success there. Overall, it was a good night for points.”

Williams also went 2-3 from beyond the arch in the first half, mostly coming from the secondary break as well.

Brown took the driver’s seat in the first half for the Pack and dished out seven assists.

State built a large deficit by the end of the half, leaving the score at 51-37.

In the second half, Gottfried gave sophomore forward C.J. Leslie and redshirt senior Alex Johnson the start in place of Vandenburg and Brown. The first few minutes of the experiment did not pan out successfully as Flagler broke out to a 7-0 run. After a timeout from Gottfried, the run was broken by a jump shot inside the arch from Wood with an assist from Vandenburg.

From then on, the Pack kept its dominance throughout the second half and didn’t look back. A layup on the fast break from freshman forward Tyler Harris pushed its lead to 20 points. Harris finished the game with 10 points and three rebounds.

“He has some promising years ahead of him,” Johnson said. “He came in and did what he did, started out on a tough opponent, number 23 [Matt Clark], and scored 10 points off the bench. He did well for a freshman in his first game
