Coming off one of its worst offensive performances of the season, No. 22 North Carolina State rediscovered its scoring touch in a 92-62 rout of Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Mass., on Saturday afternoon.

Jarkel Joiner scored 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting to lead the Wolfpack (20-6, 10-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who were coming off a 63-50 setback at No. 8 Virginia on Tuesday night. He made five 3-pointers and added six rebounds, six assists and five steals.

D.J. Burns Jr. contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Terquavion Smith scored 17 points -- including the 1,000th point of his career -- for NC State. Casey Morsell also made five 3-pointers and finished with 16 points.

The Wolfpack shot 55.2 percent from the field (37 of 67) and had a huge edge in 3-point field goals. NC State sank 15 of 30 attempts from behind the arc, compared to just 4-for-14 shooting by Boston College.

Quinten Post led Boston College (12-14, 6-9) with 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting. He has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven games.

Jaeden Zackery added 10 points for the Eagles, who failed to score in the final 3:50 of the game and finished with 17 turnovers.

NC State shot 57.6 percent from the field in the first half (19 for 33) and led 44-32 at halftime.

The Wolfpack have won nine of their last 11 games. The Eagles have lost three of their last five.

NC State built its first double-digit lead at 23-13 on a pair of layups by Burns, the latter with 10:09 left in the first half.

The Eagles had their deficit down to six with 1:45 to go in the half, but Joiner closed out the scoring with two treys in the final 1:20 to push the lead to 44-32 at intermission.

NC State travels to Syracuse on Tuesday, while Boston College plays at Pitt on Tuesday.
