No. 1 in the 30-second version

NC State beats Troy 81-62 to finish its home stand.

The Rotation is Locked in Unless there are factors of which we are unaware, such as injuries or disciplinary actions, I believe we saw the rotation tonight. The same five (McNeil, Evans, Edmead, Adams, Lubin) have started every game and the exhibitions, so that is in cement.
