In their recent matchup during the ACC First Round Game 2 against Louisville Cardinals, NC State showcased a dominant offensive display. The team's shooting was on point with an overall field goal percentage of 53 percent and an even more impressive two-point conversion rate of 62 percent. Their free-throw accuracy stood out as well, with an 82 percent success rate contributing significantly to their total points.


Defensively, NC State also made its presence felt by accumulating five blocks and twelve steals. This defensive hustle translated into fast break opportunities where they scored eighteen points. Additionally, they capitalized on turnovers by scoring twenty-two points off them.

The assist-to-turnover ratio is another area where NC State excelled; they managed a ratio of approximately 1.56 which indicates good ball movement and decision-making under pressure.


The upcoming game's venue could play a pivotal role in maintaining this momentum. Playing away from home always presents challenges; however, given that the previous game was also held at Capital One Arena might provide some level of comfort and familiarity for the Wolfpack players.
