North Carolina State Wolfpack Set to Battle Syracuse Orange at JMA Wireless Dome in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the North Carolina State Wolfpack prepare to face off against the Syracuse Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are eager for insights into how their team might perform. The upcoming game on January 2nd is set to be a pivotal moment for the Wolfpack, and based on recent performances, there are strong indicators of how they might fare.
The NCST women's basketball team has shown resilience and skill throughout their season. However, their last game against Duke Blue Devils on December 30th exposed some weaknesses that could be critical in their next matchup. Scoring only 58 points compared to Duke's 72, NCST struggled with field goal percentage at just 34 percent and two-point attempts were converted at a mere 33 percent rate. Moreover, turnovers were an issue with a total of 18 for the game.
Despite these challenges, there are silver linings that suggest NCST can bounce back against Syracuse. In an earlier game on December 18th against Clemson Tigers, NCST dominated with a score of 77-59. Their field goal percentage was impressive at nearly 51 percent and they excelled in two-point shots with a success rate of over 58 percent. Additionally, they out-rebounded Clemson by a significant margin – grabbing a total of 47 rebounds compared to Clemson’s modest count of just under half that number.
Another encouraging sign comes from their performance against Davidson Wildcats on December 16th where NCST secured an emphatic victory scoring an impressive total of points – showcasing both offensive prowess and defensive strength by limiting Davidson to just under half as many points.
These past games reveal that while NCST has had its ups and downs this season, when they're playing well they can be formidable opponents. They've demonstrated an ability to control the paint both offensively and defensively which will be crucial in overcoming Syracuse’s strategies.
Looking ahead to January’s contest at JMA Wireless Dome – it will be essential for NCST to tighten up their defense against fast breaks which have been exploited by opponents previously; maintaining strong rebounding numbers will also play into thwarting any second-chance opportunities for Syracuse.
Fans should mark their calendars for this exciting encounter scheduled for January 2nd at midnight Eastern Time (ET). The action-packed game can be followed live online via ACC Network Extra – ensuring supporters won’t miss any part of what promises to be another thrilling chapter in North Carolina State Wolfpack women’s basketball season.
