Rider at North Carolina State

Rider has won five of its last six games as the Broncs have three senior starters back from last year's squad. Rider features five players who average in double figures led by Jimmie Taylor (14.0 points per game) and Kahlil Thomas (13.1 ppg). The Broncs have been good on the defensive end, holding opponents to just 40.6 shooting and allowing just 70.2 points per contest. North Carolina State is 10-2 against a fairly soft schedule as its last four wins have been against Tennessee State, Appalachian State, Fairfield and McNeese State. Dennis Smith Jr. leads the Wolfpack scoring 18.9 points per game and Terry Henderson averages 16.8 points. This is too many points to give a team that has been so effective on defense. Play Rider.
