Basketball season is BACK, and NC State wasted no time giving Wolfpack fans something to be excited about.

The Wolfpack opened its season with an 80-50 win over Wofford, and I have to say, there was a lot I liked about what I saw.

Zoe Brooks? That first half might have been some of the best basketball I've seen her play in an NC State uniform. And it wasn't just about the 17 points she scored before halftime.

Then there's Ky'She Lunan, who finished with a career-high 21 points and might just be forcing opposing coaches to make a few changes to their scouting reports.

And when NC State got out in transition? Whew. Good luck keeping up.

But beyond the scoring, there were a few defensive details, individual performances, and moments that really caught my attention.

So, what stood out? And what should we be watching as NC State prepares for tougher competition?

I've got plenty to say about that.

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
