NC State guard out with broken finger

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State guard Trevor Ferguson will miss at least three weeks after breaking a finger on his non-shooting hand.

Team officials said Tuesday the redshirt junior could be out for up to six weeks. He broke the ring finger on his left hand during the Wolfpack's 68-65 loss to Marquette on Monday night.

Ferguson made four straight starts at shooting guard after coming off the bench during the opening five games. He averages nearly eight points and is shooting 41.5 percent from 3-point range.
