Terrance Arceneaux is expected back in the lineup as NC State squares off against Seton Hall in the opening round of the Maui Invitational, Will Wade said over the weekend. Arceneaux was dealing with an Achilles injury and was sidelined for the Wolfpack's last two games.
Arceneaux was on track to play a key role for NC State as a guard off the bench. He played in the Wolfpack's first two games of the season at just about nine minutes per game. He was averaging 1.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists. Arceneaux is in his first season at NC State after transferring from Houston .
Arceneaux was a member of Houston's national championship team last season where he had a breakout year in terms of stats. He played in 40 games, including six starts, at a little over 20 minutes per game. He averaged 6.5 point and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 44.3 percent from the field, 33.7 percent from the 3-point line and 72.9 percent from the free-throw line.
