Wade's Wolfpack debut delivers 82-58 rout of UNC
NC State, led by Copeland’s 18 points, handed rival North Carolina an 82-58 defeat in Will Wade’s first matchup with the Tar Heels, marking the Wolfpack’s largest win over UNC since 1962. UNC played without top scorers Wilson and Veesaar and struggled from three, while NC State got balanced scoring from Able, Williams and Lubin. The win comes amid the ACC’s shift to 18 conference games, with this year’s meeting the lone regular-season rivalry game.
