LAHAINA, Hawaii – The 23^rd-ranked NC State men's basketball team rode a balanced scoring attack to an 81-70 win over Boise State Tuesday in the Maui Invitational.

The Pack had nine players see action and all scored in the game, including having seven of the nine players contribute eight or more points.

Darrion Williams led NC State in scoring for the fourth time in six games with 16 points on 7-of-13 shooting.

Terrance Arceneaux reached double figures for the first time in an NC State uniform as he scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting and also had four rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two assists in the win.

Ven-Allen Lubin recorded his first double-double of the season with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.

Paul McNeil, Jr., also reached double figures with 10 points while Matt Able had nine points and Quadir Copeland Tre Holloman each contributed eight points.

Able had five steals, tied for the most by an NC State freshman dating back to at least the 2004 season.

Overall, the Pack had a season-high tying 13 steals and a season-best seven blocks in the win.

The Pack ended the game with a 24-14 advantage in points off turnovers and a 20-8 advantage in fast break points.

NC State got off to a much better start on Tuesday as an Able three-pointer gave the Pack a 20-10 lead with 13:18 left in the first half.

But the Pack couldn't capitalize on the early lead as they went on a six minute scoring drought which allowed Boise to take a 22-20 lead.

The Broncos extended their lead to four, 26-22, with six minutes left until halftime, but the Pack ended half on a 12-2 run to take 34-28 lead into the break.

NC State held Boise without a field goal in the final 6:44 of the first period.

The second half saw Boise State score 11 of the first 13 points to take a 39-36 lead with 16:59 to go.

NC State responded with the next six points and after another Boise three-pointer tied the game at 42, the Pack went on another 6-0 run to take a 48-42 lead with 12:58 to go.

Boise State would never get closer than four the rest of the way as the Pack held a double-digit lead for a majority of the final seven minutes of the game.

The Pack completes play at the Maui Invitational Wednesday against either Chaminade or Texas. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN2.
