As the North Carolina State Wolfpack prepares to host the Syracuse Orange at PNC Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of success.

The Wolfpack's shooting efficiency has been noteworthy; they've consistently shot 50 percent from the field across these games. Their prowess inside the paint is evident with over half of their attempts finding success, which speaks volumes about their strategic play and ability to create high-percentage shots.


Another aspect where North Carolina State has excelled is in capitalizing on turnovers. They've managed to score 21 and 29 points off turnovers in each game, an indicator of their aggressive defense leading to easy baskets on the other end. This defensive intensity is further highlighted by an average of nine steals per game.

However, it's not just about scoring for this team; they've also demonstrated great ball movement with assist-to-turnover ratios above two in both games. This balance between scoring and teamwork could be crucial against Syracuse.


While playing at home provides an advantage due to familiar surroundings and fan support, it's essential for the Wolfpack not to become complacent. The upcoming match promises excitement as both teams vie for victory on February 21st at PNC Arena.
