RALEIGH, N.C. - Anthony Grundy tied his career high with 18 points, including a basket with 30 seconds to go, to help North Carolina State to a 64-60 win over Providence on Saturday.
The Wolfpack (5-0) was ahead by 10 points with seven minutes to go but the Friars (3-4) whittled the lead to 57-50 on Romuald Augustin's 3 with 5:09 to go.
Providence then got to within three points at 59-56 on David Murray's free throw with 2:59 left, but Grundy made two free throws nine seconds later to restore N.C. State's lead to 61-56. Then Grundy intercepted a pass in the backcourt and raced in for the layup to seal the win.
In the first half, Providence tied the score at 11 on John Linehan's layup off a steal with 12:51 to go, but Gainey hit a 3-pointer to spark an 11-4 Wolfpack run. Grundy's 3 with six minutes left put the Wolfpack ahead 22-15.
N.C. State allowed Providence, which shot only 27 percent in the first half, to make only two baskets in the final five minutes as Damien Wilkins scored eight points in a 14-6 run to inflate the Wolfpack's lead to 36-21 at halftime.
Grundy, who also pulled down eight rebounds, scored a career-high 18 points, on Wednesday in the Wolfpack's 61-59 win over No. 21 Purdue.
Wilkins scored 14 and had 10 rebounds and Justin Gainey added 10 points for N.C. State.
Providence was led by Maxey with 18 points with 10 rebounds and Murray had nine points and 11 rebounds. The Friars' leading scorer, Linehan, was held to nine points.
