Pack Ends 2-Game Skid With 74-49 Win Over S.C. State

Freshman J.J. Hickson and senior Gavin Grant took turns carrying the scoring load as NC State ended its two-game road losing streak with a resounding 74-49 victory over South Carolina State Saturday afternoon at the RBC Center. Playing at home for the first time since Nov. 18, the re-energized Wolfpack (5-3) used more players and had more fire than in previous outings. Hickson, the 6-9 freshman from Marietta, Ga., did most of his damage in the first half, scoring 16 points, thanks primarily to an 8-for-11 shooting performance from the free-throw line. He scored only two points in the second half. Grant, who finished with a game-high 23 points, took over the main scoring burden in the second half, as second-year head coach Sidney Lowe continued to tinker with his lineup throughout the contest.
