North Carolina State Wolfpack Set to Battle Syracuse Orange at JMA Wireless Dome

As the North Carolina State Wolfpack prepare to face off against the Syracuse Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are eager for what promises to be an electrifying game. The Wolfpack, coming off a string of impressive performances, look poised to continue their winning ways.

In their most recent matchup on December 23rd against Detroit Mercy Titans, NCST showcased a dominant offense with an 83-point finish. Their shooting was on point with a field goal percentage of 50 and three-point shots hitting at 36 percent. Notably, their ability to convert turnovers into points was remarkable; they scored 21 points off turnovers thanks to their aggressive defense that racked up 11 steals.

The team's assist-to-turnover ratio stood out as well – an impressive figure of 2.57 indicates that NCST is playing smart basketball by creating opportunities while minimizing mistakes. This kind of playmaking will be crucial against Syracuse's defense.

Looking back further, the December 21st game against Saint Louis Billikens saw NCST pull through with another win scoring 82 points. They maintained consistency in shooting with a field goal percentage again at the halfway mark and matched their previous three-point performance at 36 percent. Their ability to maintain this level of offensive efficiency will be key in overcoming Syracuse's home-court advantage.

However, it wasn't just offense where NCST excelled; they've shown they can hold down the fort defensively as well. Against Tennessee Volunteers on December 17th, despite a loss, they managed seven steals and four blocks – signs of an active and disruptive defense that could give Syracuse trouble come game day.

The upcoming clash will test whether NCST can sustain this momentum away from home soil and under pressure from Syracuse fans filling up the JMA Wireless Dome stands. With both teams looking to assert dominance early in conference play, it’s shaping up to be a battle where every possession counts.

Wolfpack supporters should mark their calendars for January 27th when these two teams go head-to-head in what promises to be a thrilling encounter starting at midnight Eastern Time (ET). The game will air nationally on ACC Network channel number six hundred twelve for those who want to catch all the action live from anywhere across the country.
