NC State received 29 points from its reserves compared to Charleston Southern's seven bench points.
Up 18-17, the Wolfpack went on a 21-2 tear that consumed almost seven minutes. The Wolfpack led 42-23 at halftime, with Burns tallying 14 points on 6-for-8 shooting.
Charleston Southern was within 50-36 with 14:26 remaining following A'lahn Sumler's 3-pointer. He was the only bench player to score for the Buccaneers, who then went through a drought of almost 3 1/2 minutes without a field goal.

Charleston Southern, which fell to 0-2 this season against Division I opponents, shot 39.6 percent from the field, making a somewhat notable dent in NC State's defense. The first two Wolfpack foes failed to reach the 40-percent mark from the field.
