RALEIGH -- Just like the previous game against St. Bonaventure, Richard Howell fouled out against Western Michigan on Saturday.

And just like the St. Bonaventure game, N.C. State beat the Broncos going away, 84-68, but Howell atoned for a scoreless effort against the Bonnies with 19 points and nine rebounds on Saturday.

The senior forward added three assists and two blocks and overcame a minor ankle sprain in the second half.
