The Wolfpack's recent performances have shown a team in good form, with an impressive victory over Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets that went into overtime. The game ended with a narrow one-point margin, 86-85, showcasing NC State's ability to keep composure under pressure and secure wins.

The statistics from their past games reveal some trends that could influence their upcoming match against Syracuse. In their last three games, the Wolfpack has been strong defensively, averaging six blocks per game and maintaining a steal count that has contributed significantly to points off turnovers.
